Sicario 2: Soldado (2018)
(Sicario: Day of the Soldado)
Country: US/MEX
Technical: col/2.39:1 122m
Director: Stefano Sollima
Cast: Benicio Del Toro, Josh Brolin, Isabela Merced, Catherine Keener
Synopsis:
The US State department overreacts when suicide bombers strike in border states, and get their covert operatives out of mothballs to foment a war among Mexican drug cartels. Instead, corrupt federales and wetback smugglers get drawn into the fray.
Review:
A worthy sequel to a fine DEA thriller, whose virtue is precisely the confused and random web of event it orchestrates. It looks to the younger generation none too comfortingly, including those already living in the States who become operatives for the cartels, who themselves have switched to smuggling people instead of drugs. Some great aerial cinematography, a groaning, Dune-like, metallic score and explosive action from the director of Romanzo Criminale.
