“Sicario 2: Day Of The Soldado” (*1/2 out of four) was a ponderous sequel to the overrated 2015 original focusing on the escalating drug war on the U.S.-Mexico border and how the cartels have begun smuggling terrorists across the U.S. border. In an effort to fight this, a determined federal agent (Josh Brolin) reteams with a deadly assassin (Benicio Del Toro) but find things get really ugly on both sides of the country. Hard to imagine a duller group of characters or a more dull film about such a topical and pertinent matter in the world. Del Toro played virtually the same character in “Traffic” which was another film about the drug war with electricity and passion. Heavy-going all the way.
