Sicario: Day of the Soldado Reviews and Ratings
-
Other than the way things are shown in director Stefano Sollima’s sequel to Denis Villeneuve’s 2015 film, there’s nothing new about what it shows…
-
Sicario: Day of the Soldado really comes alive, in the blood, sweat and tears of the Mexicans seeking “paradiso”, one way or another, across an increasingly dangerous border.
-
Director Stefano Sollima can’t quite capture the brute magic of Denis Villeneuve’s first film, but Benicio del Toro and Josh Brolin are on top form.
-
…the performances by Josh Brolin and Benicio del Toro are top notch. Brolin plays the clay-cold Graver with ease, while del Toro builds on the legend of his character and his ability to be Mexico’s version of Léon: The Professional. While he’s not dodging bullets, he can pull off the most outrageous feats with ease. If you enjoy the thrill of gun fights and larger-than-life characters, Sicario 2 can be an engaging experience. Just don’t expect it to make too much sense.
