I just dislike the way they went "bigger badder bolder", and are entirely ignoring the actual "cartel" dynamics of Reynosa, and Matamoros, which is fractured beyond all recognition, into little cartelitos, that aren't loyal to any standing boss, only against other factions.

I have followed the violence there for about 8 years, and I have wanted to tell the stories that emerged, of 6 hour gunfights with tanks, and dozens of armored vehicles, Z and CDG painted on the side, obviously, I am not yet or maybe ever in a position to tell those stories.

So, to see the kind of rather ridiculous action being shown in the previews, esp. from such a talented director, who is so gifted at capturing the rawness of organized crime, being reduced to what looks like Face Off style action is frustrating.

Movies can be violent, violence can be compelling, but it shouldn't be violence as entertainment, in real life tragedies like drug violence in Mexico.

This is near the top of my highly anticipated list next to Sorry To Bother You

I agree...what made the 1st one so good was the gritty feel yet not to big

Seeing this and Uncle Drew this weekend

Review: ‘Sicario: Day of the Soldado’ Blends War Movie and Western

"Alejandro also possesses nearly superhuman — if not outright supernatural — survival skills, and “Day of the Sodaldo,” for all its lean macho bluster, flirts with silliness as well as sentimentality."

Seems like elements of The Siege (1998) and something like Broken Arrow (1996) with Mexican cartels/organized crime....

Though I think even grouping Mexican criminal organizations with terrorism is really irresponsible, given the countries current climate.

Man I gotta see this again this weekend. Saw it tonight but I was fighting the fukking Sandman the whole time. Movie was good, it's just that I've been up since 3 this morning. Dozed off in a couple key parts and missed some things

 

[OmegaK2099]

I hope my moviepass still works on this

 

[Silver Surfer]
