Okay, so I got really into “Sicario: Day of the Soldado” the other day, and I just had to find more movies like it. You know, that gritty, intense, no-holds-barred action vibe. So, I started digging, and here’s what I did.
My Hunt for Similar Movies
First, I jumped onto Google. Just a simple search, nothing fancy. I typed in “movies similar to Sicario Day of the Soldado”. The usual suspects popped up: lists, articles, forum discussions, you name it.
I started by skimming through some of those top 10 lists. I figured they’d be a good starting point, even if they’re sometimes a bit…generic. I jotted down any titles that caught my eye, especially ones that kept appearing on multiple lists.
- “No Country for Old Men” kept popping up. I’d seen it, loved it, but I was looking for something fresh.
- “Prisoners”– Saw that one too, great film.
- “End of Watch” This looks interesting.
Next, I dove into some Reddit threads. I like Reddit because you get real opinions from real people, not just some critic’s review. I searched for subreddits like r/movies and r/moviesuggestions, using similar keywords.
I spent a good hour just browsing through those threads. People were recommending all sorts of stuff, from older classics to newer indie flicks. I added a few more titles to my growing list, based on how passionately people were defending their choices.
Then, I headed over to IMDb. I used their “More Like This” feature, which is usually pretty spot-on. I looked at the “Sicario” and “Day of the Soldado” pages and scrolled through the recommendations. That unearthed a couple of hidden gems I hadn’t seen before.
Finally, with my list complete, I started watching trailers. Gotta get a feel for the movie, right? I used YouTube for that. The trailer can tell you a lot about the tone, the action, and whether it’s gonna be worth my time.
Based on all of this, I was looking forward to “End of Watch”, so stay tuned.
