Not bad. Not bad at all.

Rating: 7/10 (27 December 2017)

Since watching the first John Wick, I have learned that: (a) the genre can best be described as "gun fu", (b) a college classmate of mine wrote these films. Interesting notes. As for chapter 2, the script remains smartly sparse and perfectly paced. It lacks the heart/backstory of the origin tale, but still feels like pure (and disciplined) adrenaline 90% of the time. The world is claustrophobic and well rendered, unlike similar films in the comic book category. I'll take that: simple, contained, and brutal. No superfluous characters or plot lines...Just vendettas and violence.
