Shortly after Taylor Sheridan’s and Denis Villeneuve’s Sicario was trending on Netflix, the sequel, Sicario: Day of the Soldado, was also added to the streaming service. Sicario and its sequel, Day of the Soldado, take a gritty and brutal look at the ever-violent situation on the border between Mexico and the United States. Propelled by Villeneuve’s directing, Sheridan’s writing, and top-notch performances from the likes of Josh Brolin and Benicio del Toro, Sicario quickly became a hit with fans and critics alike. Now, Sicario: Day of the Soldado is experiencing a new burst of popularity seven years after its release.
