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.

J. R. Jones

Chicago Reader

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

FilmWeek (KPCC - NPR Los Angeles)

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].

Observer

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

Rated: 1.5/4

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

Keith & the Movies

“Day of the Soldado” is a strong, formidable second chapter of the “Sicario” series.

Rated: 4.5/5

Deep Focus Review

Sheridan's story clips along at a steady pace, though he's writing from a might-means-right ideology that lends the film a certain bland and familiar machismo.

Rated: 2.5/4

The action scenes and acting is all very good, but there are lots of plot holes, and the ending is weak.

There is no way not to praise each other's actors in this film. Really great acting. Of course, the main character was the best.

Sicario day of the soldado makes you forget the first movie and keeps the exciting scenes on the edge of your seat and delivers what I hoped it would instead of boring you like the first movie did.
