Emily Blunt is a kick-ass agent in the first trailer for Sicario from the director of Prisoners

Denis Villeneuve has been making quite a name for himself in recent years, mostly for crafting mature and dense works like Prisoners and 2010s Incendies. This year he's back with what could be his best work to date.

Sicario stars British actress Emily Blunt as Kate Macer, an FBI agent who is brought in to try to defuse the volatile drug war before it erupts even further. She ends up on the wrong side of the Mexican border on a mission she doesn't fully understand.

It's looking terrific. Here's the first trailer.
