I saw "Sicario:Day of the Soldado", starring Josh Brolin-Avengers:Infinity War, True Grit_2010; Benicio Del Toro-Avengers:Infinity War, Star Wars:The Last Jedi; Catherine Keener-Get Out, Death to Smoochy and Isabela Moner-Transformers:The Last Knight, Growing Up Fisher_tv.
This is the second of a trilogy-the first one was in 2015-centering on the Mexican drug cartels. In this one, the cartels are not just importing drugs, but people too-and some of them are actually terrorists. It's up to C.I.A. fixer Josh and his old buddy Benicio to try and set things right. Catherine is Josh's boss and a plan is hatched involving kidnapping a drug lord's daughter, Isabela, and blaming other cartels for the deed, getting them into a nasty war and maybe taking each other out. Of course, things do not always go according to plan and that's what makes things interesting. Josh and Benicio have a falling out on how the mission should go-to follow orders or not to follow orders, that is the question-and before it's all over, they may not be best buds anymore, that is, if they both manage to survive. The only thing I didn't like was the ending. But, after I heard that there is a part three coming later, the ending made a little more sense. FYI: For those not fluent in Spanish, Sicario means 'Hitman' & Soldado means 'Soldier'.
It's rated "R" for strong violence, bloody images and language and has a running time of 2 hours & 2 minutes.
If you liked the first one-I did-you should enjoy this installment. I would buy it on DVD.
