Review of Sicario: Day of the Soldado (2018) by Gamer-Critic — 29 Jun 2018

Unlike the first movie, this one doesn't have the main plot point and this is the main issue here. In Sicario we had a solid story about a soldier who tries to but can't withstand against a system and fails in every decision she make, that movie was more about psychology, rather than just obligatory "we must defeat terrorists" and it was awesome, Denis Villeneuve is a great director when it comes to a telling a story about a particular person and his feelings.

Sicaro 2: Day of the Soldado in the first 20 minutes pretends the plot is about terrorists. Later on, movie suddenly claims "I'm a buddy movie" (Josh Broling & Benicio), 40 minutes later: "Now I'm gonna be a road movie", another 40 minutes later and all those stories became obsolete because now "we shut down everything" and the movie starts leading to the most horribly built transition into a third movie I've ever seen in my life.

Ending is non-existent. No conflict is resolved, no character had their "culmination point" like in the first movie, when Emily Blunt realised that she was just absolutely useless and throughout the whole mission she was just being used.

In the end of this movie right at that moment when it should show us "what's gonna happen?" "what is he going to do?" instead goes for "1 year later" and shows us probably the worst cliffhanger in history.

The whole movie is just a huge dissapointment without an actuall story, main character, and culmination.
