In the sequel to Dennis Villeneuve's brilliant treatment of an America stretched thin in its efforts to repel and dismantle the Mexican drug cartel collective, Emily Blunt's disillusioned Kate Macer has presumably returned home for good, while the wolves of questionable conscience have come out to deal and murder to their hearts' content.
"Dirty is exactly why you're here."
With explicit blessing from the defense secretary, covert operations specialist Matt Graver (Josh Brolin) gets into a whack'em all mood. Romancing a mercenary contractor over dinner, he purchases the private military muscle needed for a protracted war against anyone and everyone-strike teams, black hawks and attack drones. And so begins an amoral death opera of first executing one kingpin on the sidewalk in broad daylight, then kidnapping the progeny of another- levying calculated misery in hopes of lighting the fuse for an internecine conflict between rival cartels. Graver's emotionally damaged bloodhound Alejandro Gillick (Benicio Del Toro) is simultaneously let off the leash to dispense his brand of carnage, and soon the body count mounts with no end in sight.
As Taylor Sheridan's script intended, things unravel terribly and the situation spirals into an absolute FUBAR. Push comes to shove, the US black bag apparatus scrambles to sever ties and eliminate all traces of involvement. Every potential liability becomes fair game for termination, even little Isabel Reyes (Isabelle Moner) isn't spared. Her fate subsequently becomes entwined with the decisions made by both male leads.
