The Man, the Myth, the legend , and the suave.

Rating: 8/10 (18 February 2017)

Chad Stahelski brings back the slickest and most dangerous hit-man alive, John Wick in a whole new thrilling and air punching adventure to bring another perfect cinematic action experience.
Following the events of the first film, John Wick (Keanu Reeves) after tying up final loose ends, attempts to retire his highly skilled assassin life, but his past indeed catches up again as he is pulled back into the game when an old acquaintance tries to entice Wick into a debt. However as he is forced back into his dark life, things take more of a turn for the worst as he faces a darker world hit men, vengeance, and sharp suits.
What could be described as slick cool fashion show of suits, guns and cars is actually more then meets the eye. John Wick (2014) was a hidden gem of a film, that really entered a league of its own in the action genre. What the sequel delivers is really more of what its fans love cranked up to 11. Still fuelled with the wonderfully choreographed violence which I like to describe as beautiful. This also again is shot so professionally Dan Laustsen that makes the action so fluent in one shot with really no cuts.
What is the base line in the John Wick universe is the hotel of assassins 'Continental' a very interesting and exciting concept that definitely pulls you in from the first film, and again is a real pleasure to enjoy with Ian McShane being the lead manager of the establishment, and later Lawrence Fishburne chewing up as much scenery as he can gets his hands on. At again Reeves doing more acting with his boy over his voice, which I guess is the heart of Wick's character.
Although the world that John Wick lives is a clearly ridicules world of mad violence looking cool while shooting people in the head, this is what makes the films enjoyable. Chapter 2 really does go a bit more mad though, but it doesn't weaken the films purpose. Of course what should be taken from this experience is the enjoyment. I wouldn't call the first Joh Wick a exploitation "throw away" movie, John Wick was real new fun and exciting action experience. But Chapter 2 may push us into this characteristic more but does not steal the spirit that the first film gave us.
It should be understood that viewers who haven't seen the first one may not take hold of what John Wick Chapter 2 offers. People who are fans of the first film will probably enjoy the sequel, but may not be everyone's cup of tea.
Chapter 2 does fail to not quite live up to its predecessor, but still lives up to the fun. Still facing issues with the story and ridiculous suave action Know what your in for John Wick Chapter 2 and don't take very seriously but take it for what it is, because then you can just really enjoy the nonsensical violence of the John Wick world. So if you want to punch the air in fun excitement, which is not provided for you by Fifty Shades Darker, then experience another telling of the impossible legendary hit-man John Wick. 7.8/10
