Movie Info

In Sicario: Day of the Soldado, the series begins a new chapter. In the drug war, there are no rules--and as the cartels have begun trafficking terrorists across the US border, federal agent Matt Graver (Josh Brolin) calls on the mysterious Alejandro (Benicio Del Toro), whose family was murdered by a cartel kingpin, to escalate the war in nefarious ways. Alejandro kidnaps the kingpin's daughter to inflame the conflict--but when the girl is seen as collateral damage, her fate will come between the two men as they question everything they are fighting for.

Critic Reviews for Sicario: Day of the Soldado

All Critics (158) | Top Critics (38)

Moner is terrific, and her character's fortunes can be read in her eyes-blazing to begin with, as she scraps with another girl in a schoolyard, but dark and blank by the end, their youthful fire doused by the violence that she has seen.

Where its predecessor, 2015's Sicario was intermittently thoughtful, this sequel is mindlessly mean-spirited.

"Day of the Soldado" is at its best when it sticks to its own raw brand of truth.

June 29, 2018 | Rating: B | Full Review…

As if in imitation of the ruthless Mexican drug cartel its heroes go after, director Stefano Sollima's sequel decapitates, disembowels, and castrates Denis Villeneuve's beautiful, tough, and sad 2015 original.

June 29, 2018 | Rating: 0/5 | Full Review…

There are moments that are quite tense, but as a whole, ideologically, I don't know what this movie is trying to say--I don't know that its that coherent.

June 29, 2018 | Rating: 5.8/10 | Full Review…

The carnage in Day of the Soldado becomes numbing to such a degree that it's hard to care about what happens next.
