Action fans with a Netflix subscription have a lot to be excited about as of late. The streaming service has seen some big wins with Den of Thieves and Den of Thieves 2: Pantera, the latter of which is fresh off a theatrical run earlier this year. Last month, Denis Villeneuve’s Sicario was making a lot of noise for Netflix, with the widely acclaimed thriller setting up camp in the Netflix Top 10 for what felt like weeks.
In April, Netflix doubled down on that Sicario action by adding the sequel that fans had been asking for.The arrival of April brought a bunch of new movies to Netflix’s streaming roster, including 2018’s Sicario: Day of the Soldado. With the arrival of that film, Netflix users can finally watch through the entire Sicario saga on the same service.
If you have been looking forward to checking out the Sicario sequel, keep in mind that Day of the Soldado is largely considered to be a lesser film to the first Sicario. Villeneuve had moved on to direct Prisoners (and later Dune), putting the sequel into the hands of director Stefano Sollima. Writer Taylor Sheridan returned to pen the script for the second movie, while the duo of Josh Brolin and Benicio Del Toro reprised their roles as well.
In addition to Villeneuve moving on from the series, star Emily Blunt was also absent from Day of the Soldado.All that to say, Sicario set a very high bar, considered by many to be one of the best action films of the 2010s. No one can blame Day of the Soldado for falling short of its predecessor’s quality.
