“The drug war on the US-Mexico border has escalated as the cartels have begun trafficking terrorists across the US border. To fight the war, federal agent Matt Graver re-teams with the mercurial Alejandro.”
Directed by Stefano Sollima and written by talented writer Taylor Sheridan (Hell or High Water, Wind River, Sicario), Sicario: Day of the Soldado is the follow-up to the hit 2015 crime thriller, and Sheridan promises that the sequel will take the violence to the next level which is crazy considering how intense the first film was. Sheridan has proven to be a genius when it comes to writing scripts for intense crime thrillers so I can't wait for this! I am sad that Emily Blunt won't be returning but considering how the first film ended i'm not necessarily surprised. The cast includes Benicio Del Toro, Josh Brolin, Jeffrey Donovan, and Matthew Modine. Check out the official trailers below!!
