As a Latino, it is interesting to see see what roles currently our actors and actresses are offered in Hollywood. In the last few years, we have seen a rise in the romanticization of Latin drug traffickers and sicarios alike. The stories of criminals such as Pablo Escobar and El Chapo Guzman have turned these dangerous men into what I consider to be modern-day pirates. Who knows, maybe one day Disney will have a ride and a franchise based around the adventures of these men as well. 

With that in mind, we have Saban Films’ Night of the Sicario. In this action-thriller, we find that a key witness and her daughter need to take refuge in a convalescent home after they and their DEA escort are ambushed by the sicario and his men. What will happen when these dangerous men are faced with a group of elderly and their caretaker? Find out!

Here is the synopsis for Night of the Sicario

Natasha Henstridge (Species) and Costas Mandylor (Saw franchise) star in this action-packed, suspenseful thriller that will shock you at every turn. While transporting the family of a key witness in a federal trial against the cartel. DEA agents are ambushed in a fatal shootout. Now the survivors, including the witness’ young daughter, must take refuge in a nearby home as the ruthless sicarios hunt them down. With danger at every corner and a violent hurricane wiping out any chance of outside help. They must play a deadly game of cat and mouse with the cartel to live through the night.
