Soldiers At War Within A War In The Third SICARIO: DAY OF THE SOLDADO Official Trailer

Lee B. Golden III
This summer has been a great season for moviegoers so far who’ve taken a liking to actor Josh Brolin. He’s lit up the big screen from debuting two longstanding comic book characters Thanos and Cable in different Marvel films and now he’s returning one of the most prolific crime thriller sequels to date, Sicario: Day Of The Soldado, following his stellar performance in Denis Villeneuve’s 2015 Cannes favorite.
No less than reaching for greatness with Stefano Sollima at the helm here is a story that sees Brolin’s reunion with actor Benecio Del Toro as the role of the enigmatic, brooding and relentless enforcer, Alejandro; Really, it’s important to have seen the first film to understand the gravity that this installment entails as we now see our two stars warring on opposite sides of an all-out drug war with a deadly twist.

In SICARIO, Day of the Soldado, the series begins a new chapter. In the drug war, there are no rules – and as the cartels have begun trafficking terrorists across the US border, federal agent Matt Graver (Josh Brolin) calls on the mysterious Alejandro (Benicio Del Toro), whose family was murdered by a cartel kingpin, to escalate the war in nefarious ways. Alejandro kidnaps the kingpin’s daughter to inflame the conflict – but when the girl is seen as collateral damage, her fate will come between the two men as they question everything they are fighting for.

That daughter is played by Isabela Moner who has been making a terrific name for herself in recent film memory. Also starring are Jeffrey Donovan, Manuel Garcia-Rulfo and Catherine Keener for the film’s June 29 release and I implore fans of the genre to see this one following further reviews should they gain appeal. All I know is that this film looks fantastic so far and as such, I’m already at the theater.
