As Alejandro, the near-superhuman hitman introduced in the firstSicario(2015), cuts a swath of destruction through Mexico, he faces greater and bloodier odds, to the point that it becomes almost laughable. That isn’t a bad thing in and of itself; the problem is that this is aSicariothat wants to be aLogan....
