In the relentless war on the U.S.-Mexico border, the rules have changed forever. When Mexican drug cartels begin smuggling terrorists into America, CIA operative Matt Graver (Josh Brolin) reunites with the lethal, mysterious assassin Alejandro Gillick (Benicio del Toro). Their mission: escalate the conflict by any means necessary.

To ignite chaos between rival cartels, Alejandro kidnaps Isabel Reyes (Isabela Merced), the daughter of a powerful drug lord who once destroyed his family. What begins as a calculated black-ops tactic soon spirals into moral ambiguity as the young girl becomes more than just collateral damage. Graver and Alejandro must confront the human cost of their brutal methods while questioning everything they fight for.

Featuring intense action, gripping tension, and stellar performances, the film also stars Jeffrey Donovan as Steve Forsing, Manuel Garcia-Rulfo as Gallo, Catherine Keener as Cynthia Foards, Matthew Modine as James Riley, and Raoul Trujillo as Rafael.
A raw, unflinching sequel that dives deeper into the shadows of the drug war.
