Two years on from the release of Denis Villeneuve’s muscular cartel caper, Sicario, Stefano Sollima picks up the story for this intriguing sounding follow-up, heading back to the US-Mexico border to explore the escalating war on drugs.
Sicario 2: Soldado, which is set to arrive early 2018, follows Matt (Josh Brolin) and Alejandro (Benicio Del Toro) as they attempt to track down notorious cartel boss Carlos Reyes, who’s been trafficking terrorists across the border. But what initially appears to be a straightforward hit job soon reveals itself as an elaborate CIA shadow war.
