Denis Villenueve’s brutal Sicario wasn’t exactly a movie that screamed “franchise potential”, and while the acclaimed filmmaker didn’t return for follow-up Day of the Soldado, replacement Stefano Sollima did a more than adequate job.

Sure, the critical and commercial numbers suffered an almost-inevitable dip, with Sicario 2‘s 62 percent Rotten Tomatoes score substantially lower than the 92 racked up by its predecessor, while the box office numbers also took a hit by dropping from $85 million to $75 million, with Day of the Soldado coming burdened with a higher production budget, too.
