Customer reviews
The second installment of the Sicario franchise is a well crafted film BUT the story doesn't stand alone as the first Sicario did. To watch Day Of The Soldado by itself and not know the back history of the Josh Brolin and Benicio Del Toro characters could leave a viewer confused. Perhaps this is how sequels are constructed going on the assumption that the viewer has seen the first film. However, the unfinished ending doesn't just mean "we don't know what happens" it means we have to wait for Sicario 3 for story closure. The Pacing of Soldado is a bit un-even as well which re-enforces the "filler story to get to Sicario 3" feeling. Original Sicario Director Denis Villenueve did not return (due to scheduling conflicts) and that may explain some of the short comings of Soldado. Screen writer Taylor Sheridan has given us a couple of great scripts (the first Sicario, Come Hell Or High Water) but Day Of The Soldado feels like Sheridan is settling into the Hollywood franchise system of writing one film as a set-up for a sequel. The soundtrack in Day Of The Soldado is the same as the first Sicario, but without the long, atmospheric, visually stunning landscape shots from original Sicario cinematographer Roger Deakins that gave the first film it's distinctive style the music loses it's impact. . If you we're blown away by the original Sicario then Day Of The Soldado may satisfy your thirst and hunger for more, or it may leave you disappointed and thinking "the original is better, why do they have to go and blow it with a mediocre sequel".
