Sicario - 5/10. Meh. Starts and ends (not the very end) good, then the rest is untealized promise. The score tries to build a lot of tension, but ultimately there is nothing to build up. Emily Blunt's character is the lead, but ultimately irrelevant. She's just there.
The Martian - 7.5/10. Entertaining and solidly constructed. Perhaps more tension could have been used, but that may have defeated part of the point. Matt Damon was Matt Damon, but a more enjoyable and less douchey version. Light hearted and jovial in dire circumstances. Could have built up some of the crew more I think, but the run time was getting long already. Enjoyable, but I don't feel I need to see it again.
