In Mexico, sicario means
hitman. The trailer for “Sicar-
io” will tell you as much.
However,
the trailer
won’t tell
you exactly
what’s going
on, plot-
wise. Which
is actu-
ally one of
its strengths.
The first official trailer for
“Sicario” takes you south
of the border with protago-
nist Emily Blunt (“Edge of
Tomorrow”), as she becomes
engaged in the bloody, never-
ending war between drug
enforcement officers and the
high rollers of illegal drug
industry. One such high roller
appears to be Benicio Del Toro
(“Snatch”), while Josh Brolin
(“No Country for Old Men”)
plays Blunt’s ally.
The trailer begins with
the oft-used strobelight
strategy, flashing bits of the
film between blank black
space. While unoriginal, the
technique works well with
similarly styled sound effects.
Intimidating figures, tense,
unexpected action and a
Mexican backdrop seem to
provide a reliable idea of what
to expect from “Sicario.” For
what it’s worth, talks of a
sequel have already begun.

We sent Daily arts writer Danielle
Raykhinshteyn to the Diag to find out
what students are wearing for fall. The
answer? Old standbys with plenty of
history, thrifted gems and sartorial
souvenirs from far-off places.
Sean Zhang, 21 — Engineering senior, mechanical engineering:
“I care more about my hair than my clothes, so I’ll keep growing my hair. I like
keeping this ponytail. I’m not really focused on how I’m going to dress today.”
Anita Ho, 18 — Music, Theatre & Dance freshman, clarinet performance:
“I really like flannel shirts, so I’m planning on going thrifting next weekend with
my roommate for some flannels. I’m pretty petite, so I’m looking for anything
that I can tie at the waist or that fits my height.”
Allison Fedler, 18 — LSA freshman, undecided:
“I have a pair of suede, taupe-colored wedges. They’re an ankle boot. They’re
comfortable, and I like wearing heels because I like being taller than I am. I think
they look good with a lot of different outfits.”
Brandon Patterson, 28 — Rackham student:
“This leather bag is a bag I got after traveling to India this summer. It reminds
me of the trip and is just a good bag all around that is pretty versatile. It’s a
brown bag with magnet clips on the sides and pretty simple in its design, but
inside there are three pockets, a few zippered ones, and it also holds a laptop,
which is what I need it for.”
