Sicario Day of the Soledado - in which border crossers and coyotes help Benicio Del Toro almost smuggle a teenage girl into US witness protection. Benicio is still working for Josh Brolin, who is working for Matthew Modine this time. Matthew Modine is ruthless, and tries to start a cartel war in Mexico by kidnapping a kingpin's daughter and framing a rival gang. Okay, but Modine is just giving the orders, Josh Brolin is the one telling Benicio that once the teenage daughter sees who has her, she's gotta go as well. There are a lot of murders, and Benicio doesn't want to kill this little girl. He smuggles her across the border and she gets saved by Josh Brolin, Matthew Modine relents, and she doesn't get murdered, but they put the hit out on poor ole Benicio. He gets shot while hooded, so he survived and ended up working in a mall food court but he's still in the game. There is a subplot about a nice America (also Mexican) kid joining the cartel life for money, and it interweaves a little. It was fine, kinda depressing.
