Yellowstone’s Taylor Sheridan wrote this crime thriller that topped the charts on Prime Video

It seems people can’t get enough of Taylor Sheridan. The multi-hyphenate writer, actor, director and producer is the creator of the “Yellowstone” TV series, which mostly follows the Dutton family of ranchers over multiple generations, With some interesting twists. While he worked as an actor for years (even starring in… An episode of “Star Trek: Enterprise”) and even received an Academy Award nomination for the film’s excellent screenplay “Hell or High Water” is a 2016 new Western movie “Yellowstone” is what made Sheridan a household name. Since then, he has created the hit series “Tulsa King,” starring Sylvester Stallone as a mafia boss. Basically, all the man touches is streaming gold, and now one of his jobs is to find new eyes on home video.

Before “Hell or High Water” showed everyone how good Chris Pine and Ben Foster were at delivering hard-boiled Western dialogue, Sheridan showed everyone what he could do as a writer with the screenplay for Denis Villeneuve’s 2015 action thriller “Sicario.” In 2017, he directed the sequel to Sicario: Day of the Soldado It is currently in the Prime Video Top 10 list.

while Unfortunately, Villeneuve did not direct Day of the Soldado. Instead of handing the reins over to Italian director Stefano Sollima, Sheridan returned to writing the script. Our review wasn’t so hot In the film, star Benicio Del Toro’s performance is highlighted while also finding the story “half-baked” – but hey, maybe people really need to devour every bit of content created by Taylor Sheridan for it to feel complete.

Sicario: Day of the Soldado stars del Toro, Josh Brolin, Raul Trujillo, and Jeffrey Donovan reprise their roles as CIA and CIA-trained counterterrorism agents, though Emily Blunt unfortunately does not return for the part. the second. (However, there are plans for a third film, and… Blunt’s FBI agent character will allegedly return to action.) In “Day of the Soldier”, the government must re-team with del Toro’s assassin Alejandro in order to eliminate cartel members who appear to be involved in terrorist smuggling, which seems like an irresponsible story. at best While hate speech toward immigrants is already a huge problem in the United States (as well as around the world). Sollima did not want to include Blunt’s character Because she was the moral compass for “Sicario” and he wanted “Day of the Soldado” to not have one, which makes all the moral dilemmas the film presents on and off screen that much more disturbing.

Fans looking for some Sheridan goodness can check out the first “Sicario” movie, streaming on Prime and Tubi, in case they want something a little more heartwarming (and more entertaining).
