The action thriller Sicario: Day Of The Soldado on the surface looks like a political movie.

The sequel to the 2015 hit Sicario presents a world in which the Mexican cartels are suspected of smuggling terrorists across the border into the United States, and shows how US agents respond in turn. It depicts a harrowing Rio Grande crossing in the dead of night, a car bomb at the border, a terrorist attack at a Kansas City grocery store and even alludes to the US president’s relationship with Mexico.
