Superior, fast-paced filmmaking. Superb film editing, sound tracking, and screenwriting combined with 'razors edge' naturalistic acting has resulted in this high-end action movie, hitting the mark as a tough, drug war, BLACK OPS combat movie. Thrilling scenes, one after another; tight, refined script; only wished it had gone 3 hours. Sets the standard for this genre.
Wow so much edge of chair suspense! The ending hopefully left a good starting point for the next Sicario movie that hopefully will include what happened to the girl at the end of this movie. Maybe the girl, the boy and the main actor in this movie will team up and continue the fight and take out revenge on all that wronged them in this movie.
Amazing movie!!! Josh Brolin is really coming into his own as a legit tough-guy, masculine, alpha male type character. Loved this movie!!!
Great cast, great seating, weak storyline. This sequel (like most) did not live up to or eclipse the original. There were way too many scenes that required the audience to make a leap to fill in the gaps, not good. Love Benicio who is an absolutely great actor, Josh is great as well. Unfortunately, The movie script/storyline does not live up to the cast assembled. They should have invested another 20 to 30 minutes in the movie to tie it all together with a quality ending. Side note: There were more than 30 minutes worth of previews and advertising before the movie ever started. Excessive.
While I wouldn't usually rate this movie a 5, I am a big fan of Benicio Del Toro (although like him a little better with a slite Spanish accent as oppossed to more "American "), but he is the reason I see this and his movies. Not overly graphic which is good movie making given the subject matter, and can't wait to see him in another one. In the eighties in central and south america it was the communist, now they blame cartels, not so sure underlying human rights and wealth inequalities have changed for the poor in Mexico etc, we should be putting political pressure and tariffs one these countries until they improve.
not as good as the first film in my opinion . It had it's moments but it also left you with an unanswered story line at the end . Better than Jurassic crap I guess.
Great
not as good as the original but still entertaining with some very intense scenes.
This movie didn't have story don't waste your time and money, as I did!!!!
Great acting and action, but still liked the first Sicario better. Hard to do a sequel to that.
