Former Chihuahua police commander “El Sicario” has murdered hundreds in the service of Mexico’s cartels. In Gianfranco Rosi’s El Sicario, Room 164, the assassin meets with journalist Charles Bowden in a Juarez hotel room and gives testimony of his experience. Adapted from a feature for Harper’s written by Bowden, Sicario centers on the assassin’s 20-minute confession. The result is a detailed report on the inner workings of the deadliest industry in North America.

"A great film. For drug-war neophytes, it will open the gates to a very real, pertinent hell. For others, it will present more questions than it answers." —The Stranger
