Sicario day of the soldado đánh giá năm 2024

Day of the Soldado's strained credulity in the last act has an undercurrent of kooky exhilaration, as the plot takes leaps that feel as reckless as they are refreshing in such a doleful film of terminal prognoses.

More fast paced and action oriented and brutal than the first film. Sicario 2 blows away Sicario in every way. Excellent acting yet again, and superb, brutal gunfight scenes. Seriously hope they make a third and final with Brolin and Del Toro. I want to see the end go out with Del Toro wasting Raez! This film didn't score nearly as high as it should have. It was INTENSE.

We forced to look at the horror of war against terrorism from Isabel's point of view, really terrifying and pumping at the same time! Sicario proves us how scary it is to feel for declare war against drugs and terrorism. I feel so sorry for Isabel and Elijah have to go thru this.

Del Toro and Moner say everything that’s needed with pained, bewildered eyes. Meanwhile, Graver speaks with relentless American cynicism. He is both funny and unnerving, and maybe more unnerving because he’s being funny.

Murky, clunky, but sometimes nihilistically exhilarating.

Director Stefano Sollima, who cut his teeth on Italian TV mob dramas, is good at building suspense. He fills the screen with striking images, too -- night-vision raids, heat-signature tracking, eye-in-the-sky surveillance.

Alas, all the darkness in the world doesn’t make “Day of Soldado” feel real, and errant mentions of a weak-stomached POTUS violently return us to the atrocities happening beyond the frame.

It’s inexcusable for a movie that tries to say daring and surprising things about a very urgent matter of cultural and political importance to be so thuddingly predictable in so many places.

Cruel, brutal and real. This movie is an interesting representation of what would happen if the boundaries of ethics were to be broken in order to accomplish a seemingly unreachable goal. US Army going to the Dark Side.

Not as good as the first one for me. It had yet again great acting, but the story in the end of the movie fell flat. The movie itself was very watchable and enticing, but whole story and plot line got so weird towards end and all of it resolved so easily it seemed. Also it seemed like it is set up for another third movie at the end

+Fantastic main cast most of which return for the sequel +Great soundscape +Shows excellent production value at times -Plot feels 'by the book' in comparison to original -Overall lacks that special quality the first film exhibited I really enjoyed watching Day of the soldado, yet I found myself wondering why bother making this film? The first was iconic by its own right wheras this feels far more by the numbers as far as plot material goes. Still if you like 'gritty' in your movie watching diet and you havent already watched the hell out of the incredible sea of tv there is to watch these days then you might enjoy watching.

[SPOILER ALERT: This review contains spoilers.]

This movie was promising. Fantastic action sequences albeit there were long build ups, I am a big fan of Brolin. However the finishing was terrible, almost like the movie ran out of budget, there were way too many plot holes. I do not want to get into to much detail, however how can a guy who has been injured in such a way walk 100 miles to the vehicles that ditched him in the first instance? One of the worst movies i've seen in 2018 imho.

Production Company Columbia Pictures, Black Label Media, Thunder Road Pictures, Redrum, Summit Entertainment

This movie is excellently written, well directed, and well acted. However, the scale of violence in this sequel is a step up from the first and rather disturbing. I saw people leave the theater in the first 10 minutes. Not to mention the atmosphere is quite dark and gritty, and the whole movie is tense. The clever script never lets you down and leaves every scene almost unpredictable, and features some great action scenes that will leave you wanting more!

Another Excellent Film, Darker Topics

The films concept is very well written and performed. This sequel is definitely way more dark then the first film. The two main characters from the first film are the same but in this film it’s definitely seen more sides of emotion then just business. Alejandro is an excellent role model and definitely treats the cartel leaders daughter as one of his own. His father figure side is demonstrated amazingly being that his child is gone, and is also a widow. So to see him being less heartless is very inspirational, even if he does dirty business. He also accomplished many tasks with odds stacked against him by overcoming. Matt is also a great example, he is a hard working agent and although he has more of a darker side of humor his dedication to his country and means of overcoming any obstacle that comes his way is definitely inspiring. The violence acts of terrorism are graphic but it’s the harsh reality we live in and can’t deny. The drug running, human trafficking, and attacks of terror. Are definitely a great topic to discuss with teens. I highly recommend for an interesting, violent, and harsh reality check to show how actions have consequence for your teens.

What's the Story?

In SICARIO: DAY OF THE SOLDADO, the drug wars continue. The Mexican criminal underworld has started smuggling Sicarios (contract killers) across the border; the U.S. government declares this an act of terrorism, and thus all bets are off. Enter the CIA's Matt Graver (Josh Brolin), who comes up with a dark, desperate plan. His team will kidnap one Mexican drug lord's young daughter, Isabela Reyes (Isabela Moner), and make it look as if a rival cartel is responsible. Graver calls in his old colleague, Alejandro Gillick (Benicio del Toro), to help. The operation goes smoothly, and the Americans successfully "rescue" Isabela. But then the Mexican government discovers the ruse and attacks the Americans en route. Isabela escapes, and Gillick goes after her. Then Graver finds himself placed in a terrible position.

Is It Any Good?

This sequel to Sicario is solid enough in its storytelling, with some inspired elements (as well as some lazy ones). But the special touches that made the original great are glaringly absent. Sicario starred Emily Blunt as Kate Macer, who gave viewers a relatable entry point into the movie's strange, dangerous, unsettling world; she came into each scene knowing nothing, just as we did. Moreover, the great cinematographer Roger Deakins and the excellent director Denis Villeneuve crafted each scene in Sicario to heighten this sense of discomfort and the unknown.

In Sicario: Day of the Soldado, all of that is gone. What remains is a strong, seasoned screenplay by Taylor Sheridan, who understands the world of men balancing on the edge of injustice, and returning actors del Toro and Brolin. (The sequel's director is Stefano Sollima, from Italy.) Del Toro, who was flat-out amazing in the original, is still great here; his Gillick is quite touching as he forms a bond with Isabela and seeks refuge with a deaf man living in the middle of the desert. Brolin, meanwhile, is very good at being both hard and conflicted about his job. The story uses at least one wild stretch of logic to tie the story threads together, which may jolt viewers out of the story. Nevertheless, Sicario: Day of the Soldado is still a sturdy entertainment.
