In Defense Of Sicario: Day of the Soldado

Sicario: Day Of The Soldado holds a 62% score on RottenTomatoes (vs. the first film at 92%). Roger Deakins and Josh Brolin agreed in a podcast interview that it was more action-based than character-driven. My perhaps controversial opinion is that Sicario: Day of the Soldado is to the first Sicario as The Godfather Part II is to The Godfather (bolder, darker, requires repeat viewings to access, but might be even better). I make the case in this episode.
