Movieplenty Review
SUMMARY Our Sicario: Day of the Soldado movie review starts with the king of manipulation--FBI agent Matt Graver (Josh Brolin. This time he, and his band of Special Forces, is headed deep into Mexican Cartel territory. Matt (Josh Brolin) of course recruits killing expert Alejandro Gillick (Benicio Del Toro) to go along on the ride. So what’s the government’s objective this time? It seems as though Mexican drug cartels are smuggling terrorists across the U.S. border. This gives Matt--and his employers--a reason to, “Start a war with…everyone”. The cartel conflict intensifies when Alejandro intentionally kidnaps a top kingpin's daughter Isabela Reyes (Isabela Moner). Although the mission is planned perfectly, things go sideways when during an ambush with Mexican police the good guys lose Isabela (she actually takes off on her own). Alejandro decides that he should find her alone—allowing Matt and his team to get back stateside. Alejandro and Isabela face certain death as the odds of successfully crossing the border and back into the United States are doubtful. But in the attempt, we see a different side of Benicio’s character as he risks his life to save Isabela’s. Great action sequences, as in the first Sicario, and an overall solid movie.
