Let's be realistic.

Brilliant and touching

Story: It's very simple but honestly that is fine.

Sicario won us over with its gritty, edge of your seat look at special forces operating off the grid against the Mexican mafia. The introduction of the kidnapped daughter of a mafia boss into the sequel made character motivations confusing and opened major plot holes. The core story of black ops taking care of business is still intact and satisfying as ever. Would recommend a watch, but known that writers took some shortcuts to move the story along.

I haven't seen the first one but and would say that you don't need to really as there's a number of backstory references to Benicio del Toro character having a grudge- and that's all you really need to understand to get the gist of what unfolds. The action and doggedness of this character have you rooting for him; but the ending felt rushed and fell short of the setup. I understand the first movie is excellent so will find time to watch it; but this felt like it was piggybacking and had clearly ran out of ideas before the end was up.

What a movie.. Del Toro is a legend!!!! Seriously.. solid script and acting. Super dark and brutal

The movie was absolutely phenomenal. I feel that with Emily Blunt's character's by-the-bookness out of the picture the film could work more on the action sequences. The series in general has a formula that seems to work well for it. The soundtrack, the way it builds up suspense, the acting, and above all else; the gritty dark realism. If you see a bad review of this movie then it's probably from a Liberal that is incapable of perceiving the unfortunate truth of reality.All in all this movie is a must watch. You need to see the first movie which better explains why Del Torro is motivated to kill.
