Visual delight

Rating: 10/10 (6 March 2017)

This movie is a visual delight. A lot of the action takes place in art galleries with beautiful sculptures in the background. It's not for nothing that it's set in New York and Rome, two world fashion centers. One of the best sequences is inside some sort of Roman ruin. Too beautiful for words! The first John Wick was thoroughly enjoyable, but I didn't expect the sequel to be even better. Mind you, the starting is a bit lopsided, trying to connect you to what happened in the first chapter. But this movie really starts after the titles and shoots off from there. One thinks one might get tired of all the shooting and killing and dead bodies in this film, but one doesn't. The length of the action sequences is just right. And like in Chapter One, Keanu Reeves plays John Will as an assassin on auto pilot, with no time to think, only to act. Can't wait for Chapter 3!
