"Brooklyn's Finest" (2009) and "Sicario 2: Day of the Soldado" (2018)
I fell asleep when I saw both of these films in theater, quite disappointed -- they had a real direct-to-video feel to them for me initially -- but I have grown to appreciate them greatly as underrated gems upon rewatches.
I think the Ethan Hawke storyline in "BF" is still a little flimsy, Ellen Barkin really hams it up in a pretty basic role and Will Patton always comes off as super budget to me in, like, a We-Have-Treat-Williams-At-Home type of way (RIP to Treat but he already seemed like a budget Matthew Modine to me).
But the three main storylines are interwoven adeptly, Cheadle was a nice pick for the undercover role and Gere plays a good exhausted simp. I heard someone say the movie is more fun if you look at it as a spiritual sequel to "New Jack City" (the Wesley Snipes character), "Internal Affairs" (the Gere character) and Fuqua's own "Training Day" (the Hawke character), and they're not wrong.
As for "Sicario 2," my main complaint is still the gangster kid they introduce. He lacks any personality really, though I can't tell if it's the actor's fault or if the character is just underwritten. Regardless, it was weird that they chose to hinge the franchise on him and it doesn't appear to have paid of as I think it's dead in the water.
But Benicio del Toro absolutely kills it again and it was cool to see some progression in the Josh Brolin character, who came of kind of one-note in the first movie. Delving into aspects of how the same psychos in government handle terrorism (as opposed to just cartels) behind the scenes was interesting and the superhero shit that Benicio pulls of towards the end -- which I felt was way over the top on the first watch -- finally managed to settle for me (I have no problem fully going with it now). All in all, I think it was a valiant effort and a bit of an accomplishment considering that most of the main creative forces that made the first one so great didn't return (Sheridan's script probably goes a long way in that regard).
By way of comparison, I also fell asleep multiple times seeing "Blade Runner 2049" in theater, but have not developed much love for that film on subsequent rewatches. Some folks really praise that one so maybe I'm just not getting it.
