Sicario: Day of the Soldado update feed

"Although I didn't like the first Sicario, I could at least appreciate it as a good and focused movie. This sequel is not, the plot wasn't nearly as interesting and it was kinda badly written and the characters changed their minds with extreme ease. Also, there's no ending, it ends with a cliffhanger just so they can keep milking it, I'm not really thrilled to watch the upcoming third film, if it's the last then I'm probably watching it, if it isn't then I don't think so."

A worthy follow-up and companion piece to Sicario

“2018's Sicario: Day of the Soldado ran the risk of appearing to be another unnecessary, cheesy cash-in sequel to a serious drama, similar to the direct-to-video follow-ups to Jarhead or Green Street Hooligans. However, with Sicario scribe Taylor Sheridan (Hell or High Water) returning to the fold, this sequel confidently justifies its existence, resulting in another engaging fictitious action-drama within a relevant real-world setting. To be sure, the morally ambiguous narrative is polarising, while the movie's central conceit and themes may not sit right with everybody, hence the mixed reaction from professional critics. Admittedly, perfection does elude Sicario: Day of the Soldado due to a rocky third act and some lethargic pacing, and it inevitably falls short of its predecessor, but th” read more

"The 2nd Sicario movie follows a CIA agent who is brought aboard by the U.S. government to combat the Mexican drug cartels who are suspected of smuggling terrorists across the border. After deciding that their best option would be to start a war between the major cartels, he recruits a black operative for the mission but things become complicated when the daughter of a top kingpin is abducted. I thought this movie was just as good as the original. The tone and feel is exactly the same. Taylor Sh"

A good movie

“To be honest, even though I really enjoyed 'Sicario', I was surprised that they decided to make a sequel. Indeed, it seemed to be a rather self-contained story and it wasn't really what you could call a huge blockbuster. Anyway, I wanted to check if this sequel was any good, even if it wasn't directed by Denis Villeneuve but he did give his seal of approval so I was hoping it would be at least a decent watch. Well, at least, Stefano Sollima did manage to keep the same visual style and mood and both Josh Brolin and Benicio Del Toro once again gave some really solid performamces. Furthermore, it was also interesting that the focus was this time not on the war on Drugs but on human trafficking which apparently has become the biggest source of income for the Mexican cartels.

"10.7, Elokuvateatteri Nykypäivänä olisi lupa tehdä enemmän tämän tyylistä toimintaelokuvaa. En ykkösosasta hirveästi muista, mutta osaan sanoa tämän olevan lähes yhtä tiivistunnelmainen. Josh Brolinin ja Benicio Del Toron hahmoista puuttuu tällä kertaa se ensimmäisen osan mystisyys, ja lapsen pelastamisen ympärillä pyörivä juonikiekura on Day of the Soldado:n heikoin lenkki, mutta käsikirjoituksesta löytyy myös hyviä juttuja etenkin loppupuolella."

"Sequel minus Emily Blunt, director Denis Villeneuve and cinematographer Roger Deakins, yet it managed to be an effective stand-alone thriller. With the cartels sending terrorists across the border, the US government agree to a plan to kidnap the daughter of a top cartel and passing the blame to the other. Benicio Del Toro and Josh Brolin return in a film that has a simpler plot than the original but sadly the final act has one misstep."
