Review of Sicario: Day of the Soldado (2018) by Kervin K — 16 Jul 2018
Very intense movie continuing the powerful visuals and strong performances from the first Sicario by del Toro, Brolin et al. The 20th century War on Drug Cartels has morphed into a War on Illegal Border Crossing Cartels.
Much of this is based on fact, although illegal border crossings are at all time lows since the 2008 recession our federal politicians has made this a political priority. As in the first Sicario the situation is pretty hopeless, especially concerning dealing with the cartels & police corruption in Mexico.
The movie reinforces the media hyped fear of Mexico. Having spent months interacting with 1,000's of Mexicans I have had only positive and Bienvenidos experiences with Mexicans in Mexico. Given it is a massive country with 100 million people with plenty of cartel, police & government corruption my feeling is we have much more in common with Mexico than we care to admit.
Viva USA, Mexico & el mundo! Great thought provoking movie that is more intense than what I normally enjoy watching.
