"Sicario: Day Of The Soldado" (2018)
As the sad eyed Alejandro gets drawn into American politics, Josh Brolin's Matt Graver is giddily doing what he does best...kill some south of the border baddies.
If there is anything to be learned from this movie, even drug cartels live with consequences.
The set up is simple, get one slimy cartel mule to fight the other one in hopes of stopping terrorism, since that is the new commodity. Cocaine isn't the crop it use to be. But scaring America is. And so caught up in the crossfire are personal attachments. Specifically, the ruse to kidnap the precocious self sufficient daughter of the one person who've changed the course of one hitman's life.
Yes, bodies pile up. And they are very dismissive of the value of 3rd world life. But that's the grim cruel reality. Except when our lead Benicio Del Toro's Alejandro has to face. What's at stake isn't America, though that's for you to decide. It's really about how, at the ground level, the bureaucrats will continue to see saw as the winds change. There is no steady ground. Which makes it solid. Looking forward to the third installment.
