Review of Sicario: Day of the Soldado (2018) by Flexedacorn — 10 Jul 2018
The Sicario sequel had a tough act to follow, that did not quite hit the bar of the 1st film. I liked the movie but felt it was lacking the buildup and suspense moments of the original. The first film was directed by Denis Villeneuve, who in my opinion is one of the best directors in Hollywood.
Stefano Sollima did a decent job with the follow up, but any director would have had a hard time capturing the magic of the original. Sicario: Day of the Soldado double downed on the gun fights which works for those who wanted a more action oriented movie.
The movie does come across as a bit slow, but that does build up on some of the more visceral scenes. Benicio Del Toro was great again in his role, and newcomer Isabela Moner was fantastic as well.
Mark my words we will continue to see her in films as she gets older. Overall it was an interesting film that did not feel like a waste of money to see in theater.
