Denis Villeneuve's Sicario uses Alejandro (Benicio Del Toro) to explain it's title and explore it's themes. With this character analysis, I wanted to clarify why his character is so magnetic, and how he carries the weight of the movie, despite being a supporting character.

00:00 Introduction
01:00 Alejandro's first version
