	Author	Review
United States	Todd McCarthy The Hollywood Reporter	"A worthy, rough-and-tough sequel (...) [Sheridan] has hatched a compelling new yarn that triggers rugged, full-bodied work from returning leading men Benicio Del Toro and Josh Brolin"	POS
United States	Peter Debruge Variety	"Tense, tough, and shockingly ruthless (...) 'Soldado' may not be as masterful as Villeneuve’s original, but it sets up a world of possibilities"	POS
United States	David Ehrlich IndieWire	"'Day of the Soldado' feels like it was written on a bender of whiskey and Viagra (...) All the darkness in the world doesn’t make 'Day of Soldado' feel real"	NEG
United States	Witney Seibold IGN	"'Sicario: Day of the Soldado' is a darkly thrilling film with excellent performances, and its gritty, intense action is balanced by heady themes of moral decay"	POS
United States	Darren Franich Entertainment Weekly	"'Sicario 2' is junk, but it’s stylish junk (...) Taylor Sheridan’s script can’t always get away from hyperbole (...) Del Toro’s still great"	NEU
United States	William Bibbiani The Wrap	"Slick sequel ups the violence but loses the point (...) It’s a tough-as-nails action thriller, and all those nails are hammered directly into the movie’s own coffin."	NEU
United Kingdom	Tim Grierson Screendaily	"[It] is ruthlessly efficient but also morally conflicted (...) No matter how commanding Benicio Del Toro and Josh Brolin might be, 'Soldado' is a less inspired or thoughtful redo of its predecessor"	NEU
United Kingdom	Jimi Famurewa Empire	"Thrillingly paced, ravishingly shot and eerily topical, Sicario 2 retains much of its predecessor’s dark charm despite its shuffled creative personnel. But a jarringly Hollywood ending dulls its overall impact. (...) Rating: ★★★★ (out of 5)"	POS
