This movie revolves around the disastrous war of the drugs dealers in America, who make a lot of horrible doings that cause the death of thousands of innocence, the thing that inspire the government to use violence to end the war, as they ask Matt Graver who calls the weird Alejandro to help him destroying the cartels.
There are moments that are quite tense, but as a whole, ideologically, I don't know what this movie is trying to say--I don't know that its that coherent.
Day of the Soldado is convoluted enough that you can almost enjoy it for Brolin and Del Toro's hypnotic acting and ignore the ever-present cloud of noxious politics, and there are times you wonder if it's xenophobic or just nihilistic.
As if in imitation of the ruthless Mexican drug cartel its heroes go after, director Stefano Sollima's sequel decapitates, disembowels, and castrates Denis Villeneuve's beautiful, tough, and sad 2015 original.
Sicario 2 is far more complex. It shows the effect on children, the moral dilemma that "the good guys" ... and it does not come off as popcorn entertainment, but a disturbing exploration.
Stefano Sollima's superior follow-up is a horror story posing as a tactical military thriller, all callous political maneuvering, senseless bloodshed and unachieved ambitions, set to bass-heavy braying and industrial noise.
At its mean, snakelike best, it's also a brutally assured commercial action picture, unburdened by the moral qualms or unnerving ambiguity of its predecessor.
