Sicario: Day of the Soldado

3/10

It was good but the first one was way better. Kinda confused at the end but i kinda get it i guess lol. It was just all over the place 6.3/10

Okay

A good sequel but the first one is still better. But still, good flick.

Really enjoyed the pacing/intensity and thought it was building for a huge finale but kinda just ended and left me with questions. Apparently a sequel is in development.

This feels like they hijacked the first one only to inject and infect it with nonsensical propaganda and an almost pointless plot. Compared to the first, it's almost unrecognisable. The characters, the depth, the meaning, the themes, the script, the quality... Essentially, it's Sicario if it were a 'Fast and Furious' spinoff, with Vin Diesel playing Benicio. The US-Mexico focus is all over the place, and the pivots from the aims of its predecessor are 'muy loco'. Ultimately, it's a poor cash grab.
