John Wick Just Can't Get A Break

Rating: 9/10 (30 November 2019)

After the events from the first film, John Wick successfully gets his car back and decides to seal up his guns and suit in his basement. Then he gets called back to the world he worked so hard to leave, by a marker, which is a blood oath to help the person bearing the marker. Wick gets the job done, which would usually mean that he can peacefully retire but the bearer of the marker double crosses him and tries to kill him. This pisses him off, of course and Wick is set onto a path with many challenges and worthy opponents.
I find this better than the first film because viewers get to see John Wick in fight scenes where he struggles to have the upper hand and he's being pushed into a corner and he has to kill anyone in his way to get out. We see John Wick getting desperate to survive so he can exact his revenge on the marker bearer who put a hit on him. We see John Wick really angry in this one because he's been royally screwed over, that he stepped into the Continental with the intention to kill, thus breaking one of the cardinal rules of their world: No conducting business on Continental grounds.
Keanu Reeves excels during the fight scenes. There's something satisfying about watching John Wick kill all his enemies with accurate shots and calculated moves. Honestly, this movie has some of the best action and fight scenes and viewers won't be disappointed.
