    I was very underwhelmed compared to the first. Can't spoiler on my phone - a number of things didn't seem to make sense and it lacked the tension and atmosphere of Sicario. But maybe that's just me.

    One of the best things about the first movie was Emily Blunt fish-out-of-water character. That aspect was sorely missing in this sequel.

    WTF did I just watch....

    Bored for a good chunk, confused by the remainder. I've watched Sicario multiple times, rates as one of my faves. Blurred lines between good and bad with some cracking tension and action.

    This was just..... meh... Very very disappointed.

    An unnecessary, black and white photocopy.

    Watchable but nothing to go out of your way to see.

    Ok, it had a lot to live up to, but thought this wasn't a patch on the original. Just seemed a bit all over the place and confused.

    the first one was hyped and yet flawed but was a still a good movie.

    there was so much less to this second movie - as others have said started well but the convoy part (a damp convoy squib compared to the first movie) and subsequent events were a let down. sort of didn't see the point to it all.

    one blindingly obvious aspect that applies to both movies is why they don't fly over instead of driving through areas likely to be filled with cartel honchos and/or corrupt cops. fair enough in terms of a narrative device to make the story but made even less sense when they sent in helicopters at the end of the second one - oh finally they get it!
