“Sicario” is a pretentious drama that screams IMPORTANT to the viewer, and re-emphasizes its point by having it tattooed on its cinematic forehead. The movie is an examination of the drug war in which U S. and Mexican authorities battle to defeat the cartels and stem the flow of drugs from across the border into the United States. The feature’s big message — the fight is almost an exercise in futility — seems to think those of us who keep up on the news didn’t already know that.
