Kung-Fu...John Woo...First Person Shooters...The Evolution to John Wick

Rating: 7/10 (24 December 2017)

Slick Post-Modern Movie that owes a Great Deal to Films and Video Games of the Pre-Modern Era. Kung-Fu, John Woo, and the First Wave of First Person Shooter Games.
That's the Foundation that has been Meticulously Manipulated with Vows to In Camera Realism, Hand to Hand Fights that can Actually be Witnessed On Screen Without the Aid of CGI, Shaking Camera, and Quick Cut Editing.
The Numerous Set-Pieces are given Art Full Attention to Detail and Dressed with a Slightly Surreal Appeal. The Action is Virtually Non-Stop and the Pace is Over the Top. A Few Times Suspension of Disbelief can Suffer from Situations that Venture into Cartoon Land, but Thankfully Not for Long and it is Infrequent.
John Wick's Car and Dog are given some Grounding Screen Time to Carry On the Tradition of "John Wick", Chapter One (2014).
It's More of the Same, but More Dark and Beautifully Shot. All Three Acts have their Own Arena where an Awful Amount of Carnage is Choreographed with its Ballet of Bullets and Mayhem.
Overall, this Repetitive Other Worldly World of Assassins of the New World Order are In Play and Play by "Rules" is Displayed for Adrenalin Junkies, Addicted Video Gamers, and Anyone who Enjoys a Wild Ride at the Cinema.
