Benicio del Tor and Josh Brolin in Sicario: Day of the Soldado
Just after he finished the first season of the Dutton family saga in Yellowstone, its creator Taylor Sheridan headed back to Mexico as the writer of Sicario: Day of the Soldado, the sequel to Denis Villeneuve’scritically acclaimed Sicario. The 2018 sequel, which is leaving Prime Video in December, is a must-watch for fans of Sheridan’s work. It tells the story of two familiar faces: Josh Brolin’s CIA operative Matt Graver and Benicio del Toro’s enigmatic assassin Alejandro Gillick.
✕ Remove Ads Should You Watch 'Sicario: Day of the Soldado'? The movie is currently rocking a 62% positive rating on Rotten Tomatoes, which is obviously quite a bit lower than the 92% rating of its predecessor. Collider's Matt Goldberg felt the film ultimately failed to honor the legacy and reputation of the 2015 original, giving it a C rating.
✕ Remove Ads Day of the Soldado isn’t a bad movie in that it’s well-crafted and well-acted, but it’s also deeply disappointing. It’s almost like screenwriter Taylor Sheridan misunderstood the appeal of the first movie and assumed that what people wanted was more darkness and bloodshed. That darkness and bloodshed was the effective setting of the first movie, but it’s not the endpoint. It’s the beginning for where his protagonist goes.
Despite that, the performances of Brolin and del Toro are still a joy to behold, so, if you'd like to check the film out for yourselves, make like the wind, because it departs Prime Video at the end of this month.
