Sicario: Day of the Soldado

Parents need to know that Sicario: Day of the Soldado is an intense sequel to 2015's Sicario; like the original, it's largely about attempts to handle drugs and terrorism between Mexico and the United States. It's very violent violence, with lots of guns and shooting, heavy gore and blood, explosions, fighting, punching, and beatings. Suicide bombers blow up themselves and innocent bystanders; other characters die, including kids. A teen girl is fake-kidnapped, with a bag pulled over her head and her mouth taped shut. Language is also quite strong and includes uses of "f--k," "s--t," and more. While there's no sexual content to speak of, a teen smokes pot, and there's background drinking (beer, whiskey) and smoking. Sicario star Emily Blunt doesn't return; instead, Sicario co-stars Josh Brolin and Benicio del Toro take the spotlight.
