Review of Sicario: Day of the Soldado (2018) by Ginak — 03 Jul 2018

I enjoyed Benicio Del Toro’s soulful performance most of all, but the rest of the cast was also very strong. I was a bit bored during the setup at the beginning, and towards the end I was ready to scream every time the “here comes something dramatic” musical theme was pounded out ad nauseum.

But generally, this was an entertaining film with strong performances that kept me interested, and the charisma of Isabela Moner as Isabela Reyes (the drug lord’s kidnapped daughter) made up a bit for the absence of Emily Blunt.

If your other option is being outside on a miserably hot and humid summer day and you are not into “Won’t You Be My Neighbor?”, this is a good choice.
