Wow. If Sicario was the starter, this film is the main course. The trailer does not do this film justice... a more layered, involved and meaningful piece. This is no slight on the first film from Denis Villeneuve, which was masterful and worthy in every way. However, this second film takes the story and characters to a "higher level". This movie was surprising, gritty, superbly acted, with moments of genius directing. The movie looked stunning thanks to Dariusz Wolski as the director of photography. Editing and sound were spot on as well as the familiar brooding soundtrack music. Please take the time and spend the money to see this at the cinema. I am so glad I drove the hour to watch this which will definitely be one of my top ten films of 2018. Yes, 122 mins flew by. I cannot fault it and would quite happily watch this again tomorrow. Bloody good stuff and I am looking forward to number 3 which will hopefully conclude a perfect trilogy. 8.5/10
