Sicario: Day of the Soldado is a gripping and intense action-thriller that effectively builds on the foundation of its predecessor. The performances by Benicio del Toro and Josh Brolin are strong, and the storyline offers a brutal, unflinching look at the drug war. While some critics felt it didn’t reach the heights of the original, it remains a compelling watch for fans of the genre.
