Trivia
Emily Blunt was originally attached to reprise her role in Sicario (2015) as FBI Agent Kate Macer. However, director Stefano Sollima ultimately decided not to use Blunt or her character in the film, noting that Macer represented the moral compass in Sicario (2015), whereas he did not want any character to serve as moral guidance in the sequel. Screenwriter Taylor Sheridan, who wrote the story and screenplay for both films, also stated in interviews that he could not think of a reason to keep Agent Macer in the second film, and that her character's story had already come full circle in the first installment.

Goofs
Immediately after Alejandro is shot, the helicopter pilot tells Matt that they are 2 minutes out. This scene takes place in complete darkness. However, when the helicopters catch up with the coyotes, it is broad daylight and the coyotes have been shown to drive a significant distance.

Quotes
Matt Graver: Fuck it all. Wipe it clean.

"You don't start a war by killing the king, you end it."

Pros: The story was well told.

The characters were engaging.

Benicio Del Toro is a God.

An honest portrayal of a sad reality.

Cons: one character should have remained how he was, that would have been a fitting send off for his character. Is it better than the first Sicario? Yes. Why? No moral compass, it doesn't exist in the real world.
