Critics Consensus

Though less subversive than its predecessor, Sicario: Day of the Soldado succeeds as a stylish, dynamic thriller -- even if its amoral machismo makes for grim viewing.

A hard-charging sequel that's equal parts anti-immigrant hysteria and gun-death porn.

It's engrossing in a very direct action way... [But] there are enough hot button issues floating around in this movie that I was hoping for something more than just a glorified "blow things up real big" action [movie].

Every moment of Sicario: Day of the Soldado is soaked in an unilluminating and easy cynicism.

3/5

Director Stefano Sollima captures Taylor Sheridan’s twisted narrative and tightens the screws deftly where he can. Something heightened, though, is missing.

This series’ continuing ineffectiveness is particularly disappointing given its vast assortment of overtly positive attributes...

Perfect continuation of the first, he gets what he wants!, he takes the best of the previous one and maximises it. More action, less story, but it works great.

I'm a little lost by the pearl clutching critics. Great acting, great action, beautifully shot. There are no good guys and the grim nihilism clearly isn't for everyone.
