For me, the original _Sicario_ was a piece of art. A remarkable film. By contrast, _Sicario 2_ isn't nearly as refined, and it has its share of issues... but I still thought it was a perfectly solid, slick follow-up. I really enjoyed the development of the Alejandro character, the stark and oppressive tone, the elements of intrigue and general story. (Far fetched though it may be at times.) If the original was a perfect 10 out of 10, _Soldado/Day of the Soldado_ is easily a very good 8 out of 10 for me.

I liked it more, bc I liked that Brolin and Del Toro were the center of the film, and they’re both great in their characters as morally bankrupt mercenaries. I loved the set piece with the deaf man. It was a humanizing touch I wasn’t expecting from a film teeming with violence. The supporting cast was great too, especially that American kid who ends up getting wrapped up in the Sicario world. I liked the first one a lot, and wasn’t expecting much bc Blunt, Villeneuve, and Deakins were not involved, but I have to say, I think it might be better than the first one. I also love that they brought back Jeffrey Donovan (aka, the guy in the Buddy Holly glasses) and gave his character a little more screen time.

@@jayfolk Keener's character says they were homegrown terrorists near the end, the capture and psychological torture, killing the Somali's family was totally unnecessary, but a convenient route to tie ISIS to the cartels.

I suppose the inherent problem is that there is little sense of mystery about del Toro's character. A key lynchpin of the first film was the tension created by not knowing who he was or what was motivating him until late in the story & the ending was truly shocking. With that in mind they would have felt they had to go for balls-to-the-wall action with the sequel.

I raised my eyebrow so high I could feel it coming off my head at one particular scene so I'm quite sure it's the same scene Mark speaks of. Sicario, one movie that really didn't need a sequel.

I loved this film more than the first. What a masterpiece. Their's so many questions left unanswered. What happened to the girl? Is benicio training the kid to become like him? Will benicio find the girl again? Will benicio become friends with brolin again? This movie is byfar better than the 1st one. Emily Blunt was a crybaby and was unwilling to do what it takes to get the job done. The world is full of greys. Not black and white. I'm looking forward to the sequel. Even though they may not make it cause this film made less money.

Day of the Soldado, as in Dia de los Muertos (Day of the Dead), a Mexican tradition. Love watching your reviews!

I mean...the first Sicario film was mind blowing, one of the best films I had ever seen. So I went into the cinema to see Soldado not expecting something as great as that and also thinking there was absolutely no need for a sequel but I was actually surprised because it was quite nicely done. It's very different from the first one but still if you look at it separately it isn't bad at all. Although, I have to agree with Kermode that toward the end there were several scenes that were just so cliche and painful to watch.

Is the second one as good as the first? My friends went during opening weekend and were disappointed.

Watched the movie and I think as a a stand alone it’s good, I do see the missing presence of Emily Blunt as she was the perspective we hijack through the movie, with the sequel we see through the eyes of highly informed assassins who don’t hold their cards close to their chest so the suspense is purely left to fight sequences, with The original we are left in the dark and have to witness the paranoia in the second it’s mostly predictable, its still fantastically shot it’s got a thrilling score again good action/drama and quality writing from Taylor Sheridan who just keeps landing hits

I liked both films but didn't love them the first time I saw them. However, I have found that, with repeated viewings, I have come to love both films. Neither of the Sicario films should only be watched once. It's impossible to take everything in with one viewing.

Sicario 2 was a good film, I'd watch it again.

2:29 did he not do that at the end of the 1st one? Was that whole movie's plot with Benicio not revolved around that?

I loved that they dumped off blunt for the sequel and embraced the like Modern Warfare 2 balls to the wall craziness

Both film are very good, but the 2nd film was badly let down by Del Toro being shot and must have passed out some how and they only shot him once, when all the other killings was by a hail of bullets, the other scene was when he came round and walked about 100m in the middle of nowhere and there was 2 cars just there to be taken, even though the cars were driven miles away from where he was shot, come on don't ruin a great intense film with 2 scenes added by an 8 year old!! and the music was fantastic

Though its not on par with the original its still up to a really high caliber among most. while its not the best id say we need more films like this.

I usually go by Mark, mostly I agree with his reviews.

I thought that in Sicario 1 he already did get revenge for this family? Also, in Sicario 1 the goal was to only have 2 cartels fighting so that it would be easier to mange the border? Sicario 2 is terrible compared to Sicario 1.

Put off seeing the first for a while. Watched it last year and loved it (yes, the most tense traffic jam in the history of cinema was incredible). I put off seeing the sequel for a while because I wasn't sure about the omission of Emily Blunt, Villeneuve and Deakins. Watched it last night and loved it, possibly slightly more than the first. Whilst I loved Blunt's character, Del Toro's character has a greater pull for me. I was genuinely upset at (spoiler alert) 'the scene in the desert'. I don't share Kermode's "oh come on!!" reaction here, however. I thought that the scene worked. I really hope that if there is a third movie or more, then they don't go down the Mission Impossible or similar route. Sicario's appeal, I feel, is that we on the outside of this world can believe that this is real, that this world exists. That's what makes it more disturbing

Written by Teddy Sheringham, nonetheless.

I am going to watch the first one first

I feel like judging it on the basis of “how good is it compared to the first one?” Is never a balanced metric. In ANY criticism you should just things for what they actually are, instead of for what they are not that you would LIKE them to be..

I just don't get the fascination with the Emily Blunt character. She was Ms Irrelevant by the time they left the hotel for the tunnel and only desperate to become relevant from that point on. By the time she got shot by the Sicario after drawing a weapon on him I was so done with her and her partner.

I think you’ve missed the whole point of her character in the first film. She’s meant to subvert expectations - you see her in her own environment at the start within the fbi and then she’s brought into the super secret black ops world. A typical narrative (where they have just inserted a female character for the sake of it) would be that she grows into this role and turns into a super badass - high fiving del toro and brolin at the end as the cartel goes up in flames in the background. Instead of this cliche you’re given the feeling from the moment it starts that she is out of her depth and guess what it doesn’t get any better. She’s chewed up and spat out by the experience with brolins character admitting that her involvement with FBI was just to give them (CIA) a pretence to operate within the USA. This linked in with the wider narrative of the film being about how deep America willing to sink in the name of ‘protecting’ itself. Emily blunt represents the American ideal of honour, justice and due process. Brolin and del toro are the darker reality - as they say - she isn’t a wolf and this is a town of wolves now. Same reason why she shouldn’t be in the sequel. It wouldn’t make any narrative sense.

Just seen it, it's good but but not as good as the first one! The ending will defo divide people's opinion!

Movie was extraordinarily solid.. Enjoyed it as much as the 1st one the little Mexican girl's performance filled the gap of the missing Emily blunt character.. This movie was well written although its a sequel it was original in its own way I like that the ending wasn't cliche..

the fact blunt wasnt in it made the movie even better

I think its equally good...its just darker and more suspenful all the way through. so a different kind of good, yet similar. Its like the 1st only it removes the good guy and any hope :P which i thought was a good choice

Was decent movie but the Alejandro iceman from the first movie was a different guy in the second movie. Cold as ice in the first movie

I absoutley loved Sicario 2, didn't miss Emily Blunt (although she was fantastic I'm the first one) but Benicio-Del-Toro and Josh Brolin easily pulled this movie off. From start to finish a quality movie and left open for a third.

My man Kermode. The best film critic.

A spot-on review by a great critic - however, I didn't miss Emily Blunt at all. She spent the original pulling the same face in virtually every scene. For me, the first film was del Toro's. But like most people who enjoyed the first, I felt there was no need for a sequel.

all good. tense enough for me. smuggling people is a great business. easy enough to stop. But I guess to many people make money off it.

Ngl I thought the title said Despacito 2

I must admit to being massively disappointed with Sicario Soldado, even though after seeing the score on Rotten Tomatoes, I had tempered my enthusiasm for the film. The film is flawed and the ending feels tacked on but I what I hated most the the post production de-colourisation/saturation, which is horrible, it just drains the film of any life and instead of having a vibrant film, it just is overblown, depressing and over stylised.

Yeah it looked like crap in that regard, as 50% of films made today do. One of the most overused 'polishes' that films tend to go through. It didn't help in this case that it was following up a film shot by a master. The original stood out for its cinematography, with several standout scenes (convoy, sunset desert trek before the tunnel shootout) and it was glaringly obvious that this was lesser craftsmen aping the best in the business.

This poor Brit can't get over his fellow Brit, Blunt not being in the movie. Didn't this Posh say in the beginning that to the writer and director that this was a stand alone story. Yes, yes he did. His drone quickly turned into a whine about sans Blunt.

Bad news it's not a 10 Good news it's an 8 Not nearly as good as the first film but it's definitely going to wind up being better than most movies in 2018.

i felt this was not a separate film at all and in a sense a part two of a three part story which I hope has a conclusion. The ending to this film really gave me that impression. As a stand alone yeah not as good as the first but as a continuation of the first film then every bit as good. This film has new mediators in a four way connection to the films scenario. Perspectives of the operations leader,the out for vengeance broken crime dad, the cartel young princess and the young man falling into the orbit of the cartel on the US side of the border. The actual story if fully observed is not some anti immigration thing in the slightest and really sets up a more believable geographical sense of reality to the mirror world to ours in which it is set. Guess what the USA does anything but save the day or get its own way, sorry spoiler but just such nonsense over so called "in the news sensitive rubbish".

Got to agree with Mark's comments regarding Emily Blunt! I thought Isabella's actress was very good, and could well be a star in the future. If they'd taken it more from her point of view, using her as Emily Blunt's character was in the first, it would have been much better. I think the setup with the terrorists was weak, and they could have got to the same story elements in a better way. What I did love though was the sequence with the sign language. Bravo all round there.

Two different films, two different narratives. Kinda the point of the separate story in the same world exercise. Blunt was the enemy of effectiveness in the first film. The old civil world order. Point of the terrorists plot line was the politicos will draw anything together to get what they want- Keener's character says neat the end of the movie, they were homegrown, no Somali torture or extrajudicial killing necessary, but it allowed CIA to go to war with the cartels.

This movie ending was unexpected. I like it. very bold writing! I give the movie 9.8/10 (original)

With Kermode on this. I left it unmoved and thinking what was that? No pay-off and after the police ambush it just fizzled out. If this was a smaller movie, without the original and big cast, would probably see it as a little gem. But no I'll let it stew for some years then revisit.

I was honestly worried Sicario 2 would be the same cheapened dumb action movie that Rambo First Blood Part 2 and the rest of the franchise became. But luckily I was wrong. Soldado did noy descend to dumb action film. Great movie.

You absolutely need Emily BLunt in the first one to journey into that world as an outsider through her eyes, but by the end you realize the actual protagonist of the film, the one with motivation whose struggle and goal gets achieved by the end is Del Toro. If you're into this kind of bleak merciless morally grey action thrillers it's perfectly fine. Criticizing a film because it's good and not great is not much of a criticism.

it was good but the suspense and unpredictability was absent, which is what I expected coming from the first one.

Por qué?

spoilers film is disjointed... from relating to the extremists in the first act, the second to starting a war by kidnapping the daughter, then meaninglessly wiping the slate clean due to the change of heart by the D.O.D director. Even on a comparison level, it felt like the latest Bourne movie. Ending was a huge time gap, what happened to the girl taken by Matt, did we have any contact between him and Alejandro, how did he survive his wounds, etc, etc. It just felt like, what you saw in the trailers, everything else was purposefully put in pieces there to fill it. Then it cuts to him closing the door. Aftermath, the consequences? Nadda. Why even have a scene of him stopping on the road then continuing on? Shouldve cut, move on to a hospital scene. 3/5 still worth to watch. Just not above $20

sarunghakan feng It makes sense if you follow the storyline. The focus was on the extremists at first but they shifted gears to who was responsible for letting those players through the border. Remember, they didn't fly in so they had to cross bodies of water and borders? Lastly, the slate had to be wiped clean because of the optics. The girl witnessed that these US agents wiped out the Mexican Federal agents and possible other cartel players. Was it necessary? Probably not.

Saw it yesterday.... It made me think, just as The Last Jedi (that I thought great... but) Denis Villeneuve is a RARE talent. This one lacks the construction and the clever inverse of the first one, and doesn't have the same talent to build tension. Here the music is used but not as cleverly as in the first one. But all in all it was a good action movie and Thriller and I think what hurt it most was the build up to a third one.

Big Up My Brother! (*Spoilers*sort of)I keep hearing these critics say 'Emily Blunt were our eyes and ears through the first film' and 'she was our moral compass.' But if that is indeed the case, she proved how weak and ineffective the conventional approach to this so called 'war on drugs' truly is. She was a pawn in the bigger scheme of things. So if this is true, she was just a means to an end, then the audience and the critics who relied on her character to guide them through the film must be as well. Alejandro Gillick was true subject of both films, In my humble opinion. I pray for a bourne identity series treatment.

The movies politics frustrate me it’s a lot like when Sheridan cast an Asian actress to play the native woman who gets raped in Wind River... it’s like I understand the pragmatic business concept sense of doing the choices he doo, but something about them doesn’t sit well with me..: I am happy to be alive at the same time as him however and to see him evolve as a writer

Mark is spot on here.

The first film was loud, because it was yelling at us a message of existential dread over the war on drugs. The second one tries to mimic that, but just ends up incoherently screaming. It was a pale imitation of its predecessor and not worthy of the name.

Because I wasn’t expecting much, I was happily surprised at how much I enjoyed it. I actually liked it more, even though it’s not as sophisticated as the first one. It’s in some ways more horrific and tense and weird that you end up rooting for morally bankrupt characters. I thought the cinematography, direction, score and acting were all top rate. I honestly couldn’t tell that the principle figures were missing. The tone and feel matched perfectly. If anything, some may find the political themes a little too close to home in ratcheting up paranoia and xenophobia.

This sequel feels slow, underwritten & badly directed , however the film’s still well acted, stylish & has an intriguing story. (61%) (3/5 stars) (mixed)

First movie is one of my all time favourites. Worried this one wouldn’t hold a candle too the first. Will probably just skip seeing it.

Backmasking I mean it’s a really good movie. Just don’t go in expecting to see sicario again. It’s a lot different, but there’s a lot to like.

I think it's a really good and important film. It highlights the complexities that exist on both ends of the border.

Backmasking The story is not as nearly as good, and not as original. But the basis of the story is still interesting and the action is thrilling and overall I think it's better paced than the first film. I thought the first film was at times a bit slow, but with some amazing scenes now and then. Sicario 2 is more evenly paced but without reaching to the heights of the first film.

Josh Brolin is in everything at the moment...

hes good tho eh? miscast in true grit tho imo

Totally disagree about Emily Blunt...her presence in the first film was as if a token woman was needed and added nothing but lightweight acting to the character!

Should have been called simply 'Soldado'

Just as good as the first movie people want an action movie not Emily Blunt

It lost focus when it introduced Somalia and prayer mats in the desert...sort of a tacky scene. Full focus should of been on Cartels and creating an internal war. Lacks the discipline of the first movie...

It lost focus when it introduced terrorism, so right at the start! It felt like a very bad imitation of 24...

A palpable lack of enthusiasm from the very first second.

I live on the border its a mess. Mr bbc its not just paranoia from trump.

Oh, let me guess... He didn't like it.

The action scenes were good. Story line bad.

Very dissapointed with this movie. The first movie is one of my favorites..

It's a shame that so many reviewers can't evaluate the film without the lens of politics. The movie doesn't "exploit" political themes. The movie is so far removed from the political themes that they don't even exist as a relevant theme in this movie. Thematically, this movie is about the decisions that people make to hold power over others, and the way those decisions harm the world, especially children.

yeah ive noticed everyone is obsessed with politics these days and view everything via interpreting through a political frame.

This film subverts the paranoia by leading the viewer to conclude that all Central Americans should get asylum and cocaine should be legalized
