Noticeably not as commanding as its predecessor, but <em>'Sicario: Day of the Soldado'</em> is still a good time. It's pleasing to have the returns of Benicio del Toro and Josh Brolin, the former isn't as great as before though the latter is basically the same. Isabela Merced, meanwhile, makes for a positive addition. Some parts of the story are more interesting than others, e.g. the bits directly with Elijah Rodriguez's Miguel aren't all that noteworthy. It does set the atmosphere really well, sound-wise it's good - except for that one amusing (unintentionally, granted) use of 'girl screaming' stock audio, which I'm fairly certain is the exact same sound effect used in <em>'<a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RollerCoaster_Tycoon_(video_game)" rel="nofollow">RollerCoaster Tycoon</a>'</em> back in the day - whatta game, by the way. One (real) criticism I do have, mind, is the lighting. I saw a few reviewers noting that for the 2015 original too though I didn't see it (or I guess I did, ha) there. Here, however, it's obvious... especially early on. Once the plot gets moving it gets less and less noticeable, but still. I can't say a sequel was needed, though at least they did an a

We have a national crisis, not just of safety and security, but a humanitarian crisis.

Read the whole review on TMDBOf the two _Sicario_ films, the first is most certainly the better, though, in my opinion, not at all by the margin that I have seen many others imply. These are both great movies, not great in an identical way (even if their formula **is** identical) but both great. I don't know that _Sicario_ **had** to be a film series as opposed to just the one movie, but the best experience I've had at the cinema for the past couple of months was with _Day of the Soldado_, so I'm glad it became one. _Final rating:★★★½ - I really liked it. Would strongly recommend you give it your time._
