Hard-edged and unapologetically bleak, Sicario 2: Soldado lands here as a UK-release 4K UHD disc with the Blu-ray included. It sits in the same modern crime-thriller lane as films like Zero Dark Thirty and Traffic, swapping the first film’s slow-burn tension for a more direct, militarised escalation as the US–Mexico border conflict spirals. If you liked the first Sicario for its moral murkiness and procedural detail, this sequel keeps the same world and key players, but pushes the action and consequences further forward.

Is the 4K UHD upgrade worth it over Blu-ray?

For a film built on stark landscapes, night raids and harsh lighting, 4K can pay off with tighter detail and cleaner contrast, while the bundled Blu-ray is useful for older players or a second room. Expect a punchy, serious watch rather than a crowd-pleasing action romp.

• Format: 4K UHD + Blu-ray in one pack, so you’re covered whichever player you use
