For this episode of VICE Talks Film, we meet up with Oscar winner Benicio Del Toro to discuss his latest film—the atmospheric, morally complex drug-trade thriller Sicario.

Sicario follows a young FBI agent, played by Emily Blunt, who is enlisted in a secret CIA task force to eliminate a Mexican cartel boss along with Del Toro’s ominous character, Alejandro.

We talk to Del Toro about his perspective on America’s drug war, the hurdles of being a minority actor in Hollywood, and how eating 16 donuts a day prepared him for Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas.

Sicario is in theaters around the country now. This interview contains minor plot spoilers, so don’t say we didn’t warn you.
