“I’m gonna have to get dirty,” says walking human-rights violation Matt Graver (Josh Brolin), who you’ll be happy to know is still the same cheery sadist we met three years ago in Sicario. Graver has been called back to Washington from Somalia, where he was happily tormenting captured pirates, and re-assigned by his arm’s-length government handlers to start a fake drug war down in Mexico. The reason why this should need to be done isn’t crystal clear – just to own the narcotraficantes, maybe—but the assignment is coming from the U.S. secretary of defense (Matthew Modine), and he has no objection to any dirty moves Graver may want to make. Happy to hear that, Graver flies off to Bogotá to reconnect with fellow hardass Alejandro Gillick (Benicio Del Toro), who is likewise much the same as he was in the first film, although possibly scarier. “No rules this time,” Graver tells him. “I’m turning you loose.” Just the words we want to hear, writes Kurt Loder.
