Karla S Oct 26, 2024 All I can say is Benito del toro See more Tony B @RT14209522 Sep 26, 2026 Lots of stylish action scenes but I actually got bored. Nothing much happens - Isabel Reyes is kidnapped and remains kidnapped. There’s so little characterisation I just wasn’t engaged with the characters and didn’t care what happened to them. See more Takeachance H @TakeaChance Sep 18, 2026 Not as good as Sicario but still entertaining. This one has the feel of trying to balance out first film which showed the horror story on the border caused by cartels. This film flipped trying to show that border is bad due to US intervention rather than cartels. Regardless, the Sicario remains the anti hero you root for. Hopefully a 3rd film will close everything out for a satisfying ending.

However, the flaws were just as noticeable as before. Whether it was the director’s intention to portray uncontrollable chaos, the lack of narrative plausibility and the wandering plot made it hard to stay engaged. Ultimately, it fails to overcome the flaws of the first film, relying entirely on Del Toro’s presence.

See more Chris S @Janomi Jul 27, 2026 Sicario: Day of the Soldado is excellent because Taylor Sheridan continues to write crime drama with a hard, morally complicated edge. The story takes the rotten world of the first film and pushes it into a harsher political-thriller direction, where governments, cartels, and covert operators all treat people as pieces on a board. The setup is strong: the U.S. government uses a cartel kidnapping operation to trigger conflict between rival groups. That darker escalation gives the sequel a brutal sense of purpose. The convoy ambush, desert scenes, and border material keep the atmosphere tense, violent, and dangerous. Benicio del Toro remains compelling as Alejandro, bringing quiet menace and wounded intensity while allowing small traces of humanity to surface through his scenes with Isabel. Josh Brolin is just as effective as Matt Graver, blunt, confident, and morally flexible. It may not be as perfectly controlled as Sicario, but it is still intense, grim, and highly effective.
