New ‘Sicario: Day Of The Soldado’ Clip Has Its Eyes On The Prize

Sicario: Day of the Soldado, the sequel to the anxiety-inducingSicario, is one of the summer’s dark horse films. No one was asking for a sequel toSicario, but maybe it’ll turn out to be an entertaining surprise.  At the very least, this newSicario: Day of the Soldadoclip indicates the film will have plenty of intense moments. Watch it below.

InSicario: Day of the Soldado, sleazy federal agent Matt Graver (summer movie kingJosh Brolin) calls on his old pal, the mysterious and deadly Alejandro (Benicio Del Toro), whose family was murdered by a drug cartel kingpin, to escalate the never-ending drug war by kidnapping the kingpin’s daughter, played by futureDora the ExplorerIsabela Moner. In this intense newSicario Day of the Soldadoclip, we see the early stages of that kidnapping.

Sicario Day of the Soldado Clip

I continue to be on the fence with this movie. I really liked the first film, I really like Brolin and Del Toro as actors, and Ilovethat goofy-as-hell scene in all the trailers in which Del Toroshoots his gun like a silly goose(note: this is apparently called “bump firing”). But aSicariosequel seems a bit unnecessary, especially without original star Emily Blunt returning.

This clip has the same tone and feel as the firstSicario, with long shots of cars traveling down dangerous streets, as a droning, unsettling soundtrack lurks in the background. It’s a fairly intense clip, and if the whole film is able to keep up that level of intensity, it might turn out well. Who knows,Sicario: Day of the Soldadomight be the summer’s best surprise (move-wise).
