Break the Haughty | |
| Sicario: Day of the Soldado / int_2af6bbeb | comment |
Break the Haughty: Isabel is introduced as a smug, arrogant Alpha Bitch who takes obvious pleasure in leveraging her father's reputation to get what she wants. It doesn't last ten minutes before she's thrown into absolute hell, and when the film is over, she's borderline catatonic and most likely traumatized for the rest of her life. | |

| Sicario: Day of the Soldado / int_3dd3951e | comment |
Cowboy Cop: Multiple occasions where Matt Graver complies with this trope: First is when he enters Bashiir's interrogation cell and jokes that he isn't going to waterboard him, as waterboarding is what the CIA does when the cannot torture. He later orders a drone strike on Bashiir's house, killing his brother, remarking there is no rules, just orders. | |

After Alejandro has been captured by the Mexican trafficker gang, their boss hands one of his teenage goons a gun and orders him to kill Alejandro as a Rite of Passage to become a full sicarionote which is Truth in Television. The boy ultimately chickens out and gets shot in the head with the very same gun seconds laternote which is also Truth in Television, although quitters like him usually end up as victim for the next aspiring sicario in line instead. | |

Private Military Contractors: Graver channels all the logistics of the operation through one of these for Plausible Deniability. In addition to a hefty fee, the guy running it asks for a pardon before he agrees to do it. They also have impressive offerings, such as Blackhawk helicopters, missile equipped UAV drones and logistics and comms equipment compatible with US-JSOC. | |

Gangbangers | |
| Sicario: Day of the Soldado / int_6cbcd596 | comment |
Gangbangers: Discussed and played around with - Miguel does not look like a typical cholo. He's from a middle-class bilingual family, is implied to be at least doing okay in school (prior to him cutting class in favor of hanging out with his Cartel-allied cousin, who himself looks more like an American redneck than a cholo), and looks and acts more like an Emo Teen than the wifebeater-and-shorts chip-on-their-shoulder cholo stereotypically associated with Latino crime. Matt even complains about this when they nearly run over Miguel - "You can't even tell if they're gangbangers anymore," he laments. | |

Bait-and-Switch | |
| Sicario: Day of the Soldado / int_8797239c | comment |
Bait-and-Switch: Fundamentalist Muslim terrorists are working with Mexican Cartels to sneak through the border and strike at targets - two of America's worst fears, in one! Except the suicide bomber who got through the border in the beginning was an aberration in the grand scheme of Islamist terror and the rest of the bombers didn't go through the border - they were unrelated homegrown terrorists. By the time the US realizes its mistake, it's already spent a lot of money to trigger yet another Cartel war, with collateral damage, all the while doing nothing to actually fix the underlying issues of illegal immigration and terrorism - and making it worse by ordering an op to stop cold turkey and kill an innocent civilian. | |

Greater-Scope Villain: The first film results in Alejandro killing Fausto Alarcon, the senior lieutenant in the Sonora Cartel directly responsible for his family's death. This film introduces Carlos Reyes, the kingpin and leader of the cartel, who likely gave Alarcon his orders and is thus Alejandro's arch nemesis. | |

| Sicario: Day of the Soldado / int_a51fecb4 | comment |
Did You Actually Believe...?: After the cartel mission gets to a point where quite a few Mexican police are dead, alongside finding out the Kansas City bombers were American, the U.S government shuts down the black op they had going with Matt. When Matt says they should keep going, because "this is why shit never gets changed," this is Matt's handler's response. Meaning, the goal was never to actually change things, but to make the president and the U.S look good after the bombing. | |

Halfway Plot Switch: After Matt and his convoy are ambushed by the Mexican police and it's found out the rest of the terrorists who bombed Kansas City were U.S citizens from New Jersey, the U.S. scrubs the mission and cuts off Alejandro from support, shifting the plot into getting Isabel across the border safely before Matt's forced to 'retire' Isabel... or if rival Cartels don't find her, first. | |

All for Nothing | |
| Sicario: Day of the Soldado / int_aed65980 | comment |
All for Nothing: It turns out the terrorists responsible for the Kansas City bombing were homegrown, meaning that the Mexican cartels weren't actually involved. However, by the time this information comes to light, the US government's revenge operation has already resulted in the deaths several high ranking cartel officers, dozens of corrupt Mexican policemen and smugglers, the loss of Alejandro as a CIA asset, and Isabel being permanently traumatized. Matt is understandably displeased so much life and resources were taken for no real gain at all. | |

RetCon | |
| Sicario: Day of the Soldado / int_b2279346 | comment |
Retcon: A minor one, bordering on Re Vision: Sicario saw Alejandro personally kill the a senior cartel member (Fausto Alarcon) responsible for his family's death, but Soldado shows he's not done yet - he's also gunning for the leader of the Sonora Cartel (Carlos Reyes), and his messy revenge on a lawyer from the competitor Matamoros Cartel and eagerness to go through with the kidnapping op make it clear he's still got some crosses to bear. | |

Everyone Has Standards: Matt and Alejandro are no strangers to doing some pretty nasty things in their fight against their enemies, but killing Isabel to cover up the whole operation doesn't sit well with either of them. | |

Boom, Headshot!: Happens to several people in the film. Most notably Alejandro, though he survives as it only hits him in the cheek. | |

Roaring Rampage of Revenge | |
| Sicario: Day of the Soldado / int_ceec4df5 | comment |
Roaring Rampage of Revenge: After seeing Alejandro shot in the face and presumed dead, Matt ensues within minutes into this, utterly having his team destroy the smugglers responsible, to the point of being in such a fury, that he demands the helpless smugglers in the back of the pick up truck driving them stand up, simply for him to open fire to let out his anger. Includes a CMOA in which in the state of anger he is in sees a smuggler holding Isabel hostage with only 10% of his face sticking out and Matt still effortlessly hitting him. Also a double moment of CMOA and CMOH in that he chooses to spare Isabel and carry her to the border instead of doing what he was ordered to do in anger against his superiors. | |

"Ray of Hope" Ending | |
| Sicario: Day of the Soldado / int_d73e0f7f | comment |
"Ray of Hope" Ending: And they're some very slim rays of hope. To wit: The war that the U.S. was trying to start between the cartels doesn't work due to sabotage, Alejandro is abandoned by Matt, Isabel is shown to be an emotionless wreck at the end and thrown into witness protection by Matt out of spite towards Cynthia and finally, Miguel has become a full blown cartel thug complete with tattoos and everything. The only positives, if one can call them such, to come out of this ending are that Isabel is at least alive and safe due to Matt disobeying his orders, and Alejandro survives and is seen trying to recruit Miguel to turn him into a monster on par with him. | |

Red Herring | |

Red Herring: While one terrorist is caught trying to sneak across the border, no others are caught and it's found out that the rest of the terrorists behind the bombings came from New Jersey. | |

Contrived Coincidence | |
| Sicario: Day of the Soldado / int_dc579c91 | comment |
Contrived Coincidence: Just after the US government finds evidence of Islamists crossing the border with the aid of Mexican Cartels, a completely separate group of homegrown Islamic terrorists from New Jersey blow up of supermarket in Kansas City. The odds of the two events being unconnected is so remote that the US government can be forgiven for jumping to the wrong conclusions, and also winds up being the operation's undoing: the government realizes they went down the wrong rabbit hole and want to pull out... at a critical time in the op and leave two of their agents high and dry, as well as kill an underaged civilian to cover their tracks. Alejandro contacts a group to help him and Isabel cross the border, which just so happens to include a kid who saw him in Texas a few days ago. | |
