Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaEmily Blunt was originally attached to reprise her role in Sicario (2015) as FBI Agent Kate Macer. However, director Stefano Sollima ultimately decided not to use Blunt or her character in the film, noting that Macer represented the moral compass in Sicario (2015), whereas he did not want any character to serve as moral guidance in the sequel. Screenwriter Taylor Sheridan, who wrote the story and screenplay for both films, also stated in interviews that he could not think of a reason to keep Agent Macer in the second film, and that her character's story had already come full circle in the first installment.
- GoofsImmediately after Alejandro is shot, the helicopter pilot tells Matt that they are 2 minutes out. This scene takes place in complete darkness. However, when the helicopters catch up with the coyotes, it is broad daylight and the coyotes have been shown to drive a significant distance.

Featured review
A sequel that does the original proud
While I did enjoy the original 'Sicario' I admit I found it a little slow paced and tedious in places. As with most sequels 'Sicario: Day of the Soldado' comes out with guns blazing (literally) trying to one up its predecessor. The first 2/3 of this film are electric and everything I wanted them to be. Then sadly the final 1/3 couldn't deliver the knock-out punch. It went down some channels that I wasn't particularly fond of, and ignored some that I would have loved to have seen. Don't get me wrong though, this is a very entertaining and well made film.
Josh Brolin and Benicio Del Toro are perfectly cast in these films. They are legitimately bad-ass. The rest of the cast however leave a little bit to be desired. Catherine Keener in particular was miscast and couldn't hold her own in any scene she was in. It didn't ruin the movie, more so it was just a distraction when she was on screen.
The action scenes in this movie are quite incredible. The are shot in such creative and powerful ways. Only lacking in some casting errors and trailing off a little in the final 1/3, this film has a tremendous amount of watchability factor.
