Review of Sicario: Day of the Soldado (2018) by Palpetinesheev — 08 Jul 2018
Sicario: Day of the Soldado is a serviceable enough sequel to the first Sicario. Though not nearly as cleaver or memorable as the first, it is still extremely well acted, solidly directed, and beautifully shot.
The action scenes are all very well shot and edited together and features some great sound design, mixing and editing. Benicio del Toro, Josh Brolin, and Isabela Moner (surprisingly) give 3 of the best performances of the year so far.
On a technical level this movie is downright amazing. Unfortunatly, the script is much less than amazing. It is by no means a bad script, but in comparison to how cleaver and unpredictable the first film this film is a major downgrade.
No spoilers but it kinda becomes ridiculous in the last 30 minutes to where in the end I felt bit empty. Overall, Sicario: Day of the Soldado is an extremely well made movie brought down by a middling script.
