Review: Sicario: Day of the Soldado

Visceral followup to the 2015 heart in the mouth blockbuster. Unfortunately, Blunt isn't back to add some needed emotional heft to this largely male dominated and consequently more brutal action-thriller.  Brolin and del Toro return and develop their respective characters.

The story which crosses boundaries in more ways than one, and dealing with international terrorism, people smuggling, Mexican cartel wars and US political intrigue remains highly engaging and near less than credible.

Verdict: Brutal but strong follow up to the original
