Sicario: Day of the Soldado

What to Know

Critics Consensus

Though less subversive than its predecessor, Sicario: Day of the Soldado succeeds as a stylish, dynamic thriller -- even if its amoral machismo makes for grim viewing.

J. R. Jones

Chicago Reader

A hard-charging sequel that's equal parts anti-immigrant hysteria and gun-death p*rn.

Peter Rainer

FilmWeek (KPCC - NPR Los Angeles)

It's engrossing in a very direct action way... [But] there are enough hot button issues floating around in this movie that I was hoping for something more than just a glorified "blow things up real big" action [movie].

Observer

Every moment of Sicario: Day of the Soldado is soaked in an unilluminating and easy cynicism.

Rated: 1.5/4

This series’ continuing ineffectiveness is particularly disappointing given its vast assortment of overtly positive attributes...

Brian Eggert

Deep Focus Review

Sheridan's story clips along at a steady pace, though he's writing from a might-means-right ideology that lends the film a certain bland and familiar machismo.

Rated: 2.5/4

The Festival J Great sequel to the original not exactly as good but definitely a worthy watch Benicio and Josh Brolin always steal the scene Rated 5/5 Stars • Rated 5 out of 5 stars 06/25/24 Full Review Zack E Disappointed 😞I didn't find the plot compelling . Rated 2.5/5 Stars • Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 06/18/24 Full Review Audience Member It’s a good movie if you ignore the plot. Compared to the first movie it’s really bad. Starting a cartel war because 1 Yemen terrorist used coyotes lol. Basically the group behind the actual terrorist attack are completely ignored and they get away with killing 15+ people. But sowing chaos in Mexico ( which needs no help sowing chaos) is the answer. And a cartel leader who I guess has zero interest in his daughter. One of the worst plots ever BUT somehow the movie is still good… I think it’s all due to the non stop brooding music tbh. Rated 2.5/5 Stars • Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 06/17/24 Full Review cesar c A good imitation of the first one Rated 3.5/5 Stars • Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 06/15/24 Full Review roger s Eu vou tirar 1 estrelinha, porque, o agente que foi baleado no rosto, alcançou as caminhonetes Ford em 1 minuto, elas haviam viajado a noite toda e mais parte do dia.Mais meia estrelinha porque a cicatriz mudou de lado, só um detalhe. Rated 3.5/5 Stars • Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 05/26/24 Full Review Max W the spirit and badassery live on in this sequel that no one had asked for, but the plot was kind of lacking. Benicio del Toro and Jeff Brolin are still amazing. I also like the portrayal of Jeffrey Donovan. Rated 3/5 Stars • Rated 3 out of 5 stars 05/12/24 Full Review Read all reviews
