Sicario: Day of the Soldado (also known as Sicario 2: Soldado and Soldado) is a 2018 American action-thriller film[5] directed by Stefano Sollima and written by Taylor Sheridan. A sequel to 2015's Sicario, the film features Benicio del Toro, Josh Brolin, Jeffrey Donovan, and Raoul Trujillo reprising their roles, with Isabela Moner, Manuel Garcia-Rulfo, and Catherine Keener joining the cast. The story relates to human trafficking at the U.S.-Mexico border and an attempt by the United States government to incite increased conflict among the cartels.
Sicario: Day of the Soldado was released in the United States and Canada on June 29, 2018, by Sony Pictures Releasing under its Columbia Pictures label, while it was distributed internationally by Lionsgate (excluding Latin America and Spain, where it was distributed by Sony).
The film is dedicated to the memory of Jóhann Jóhannsson, the composer of the first film, who died four months before it came out.
It received generally favorable reviews from critics.[6] A sequel, titled Sicario: Capos, is in development.[7]
