The results have been spectacular, to say the least, and his 2018 follow-up to Denis Villeneuve's modern-day classic is no exception. Taylor Sheridan's Action Thriller Sequel Ups the AnteMatt wears military fatigues in Sicario LionsgateWidely regarded as one of the best action thrillers of the century, Sheridan penned the script for Villeneuve's Sicario, which hit theaters in 2015 and instantly earned a heap of praise from critics and viewers. Of course, thanks to its phenomenal reception, a sequel to Sicario was quickly given the green light. Not nearly as well received as the first film by critics, Sicario: Day of the Soldado is still a hard-hitting and authentic action thriller in its own right that some viewers on Rotten Tomatoes called a "masterpiece." It's an uncompromising thriller filled with morally complicated characters, but if you're hesitant to spend money on it, you're in luck, because Sicario: Day of the Soldado just landed a new free streaming home.
