Sicario Day Of The Soldado Trailer
While Denis Villeneuve’sSicariohad action in it, I wouldn’t necessarily call it an “action movie.” This latest trailer forSicario: Day of the Soldado, however, seems content to sell theSicariosequel as a straight-up action flick. There’s pounding music, tons of shots of people firing off weapons, and even a surprising amount of jokes – another thing the originalSicariodidn’t have much of.
I remain slightly indifferent to this film. Visually, itlooksgood, andJosh BrolinandBenicio Del Toroare both fine actors who will bring their distinct acting styles to the project. ButSicariodidn’t really need a sequel to begin with. And to go ahead and make one without original star Emily Blunt seems ill-advised. A big theme of the first film was Blunt’s lone-female character navigating a hyper-masculine world. That’s all been dropped in favor of a movie that looks like it’s big on shootouts and little else.
But I’m still going to giveSicario: Day of the Soldadoa chance. Perhaps this marketing is deceptive, and the film has more on its mind than action beats. In the film, Benicio Del Toro returns as Alejandro, an assassin who once again gets drawn into a scheme spearheaded by federal agent Matt Graver, played by Josh Brolin. Brolin’s character wants to use Del Toro to start a war, and part of the plan involves kidnapping a drug kingpin’s daughter.
Stefano Sollimahelms the film, with a script by originalSicariowriter Taylor Sheridan. In addition to Del Toro and Brolin,Sicario: Day of the SoldadostarsIsabela Moner,Jeffrey Donovan,Manuel Garcia-Rulfo,Shea Whigham, andCatherine Keener.Sicario: Day of the Soldadoopens onJune 29, 2018.
