Sicario: Day of the Soldado maintains the original’s dark tone, presenting a complex narrative on the war on drugs. The sequel amplifies the action and moral dilemmas faced by its characters. Del Toro and Brolin’s performances are standout, bringing depth to their roles. However, some critics noted the plot’s occasional predictability. Despite this, the film’s intense sequences and strong direction by Stefano Sollima make for a compelling watch. The addition of Isabela Moner introduces a new dynamic, enriching the storyline. Overall, it offers a gritty, thought-provoking experience.
