Review of Sicario: Day of the Soldado (2018) by Mitokio — 01 Jul 2018

Here's a bold prediction: 95% of people who see and love this movie will never write a review. In my session there were 30 people and 28 of them were men over the age of 50. If you liked the first, you will like this.

You will know what to expect. It's complex, gritty, dark, humorless, engaging, fascinating, at times a little shocking. I've seen weird reviews saying this misses the mark based on where the US-Mexico border situation is.

Huh? It's fiction. I also saw complaints that it's clearly setting up for another sequel. Again, huh? The end it really neatly tied together and could be left there, but I really hope not. A trilogy would really play out these character arcs and stories.

And this might be one of the very few sequels I've seen where I loved it and really hoped there'll be one more installment.
