Again with his pencil

Rating: 10/10 (18 February 2017)

John Wick. Otherwise known as the Ghost among assassins around the planet. He is brought back in to do one last job of killing an underworld boss by the order of the boss's brother played by Ricardo Scamacio. Yet wick knows full well that even if he did accomplish his job his own life would be forfeit by the strict assassin rules, and rituals for killing Santino's kin. In many ways it was a catch 22 situation any way a person looked at it. Betrayed, hunted, and submerged deeper than he has ever gone before John must now juggle his own life as his mentor Winston, (Ian Mcshane) warns him that to kill within the safe zone would result in his total ex-communication from the assassins guild.
I thought this was a great ending to the series. Not only does john have to run for his life but every assassin on earth is called in with a one hour window to take him out including his chop shop buddy Aurelio, played by John Leguizamo. Armed with his wits, and k-nine companion they must escape destiny so that John can take out the conglomerate who hired Santino in the first place. Wonderful action with a nice dose of hand to hand combat along with precise gun fights. Although high octane filled the story could have used more of Winston through out. If he was John's benefactor it would see to reason to defend John. Alas that was not the case.
Still the story held true meaning that Santino broke the rules except for John taking it too far by killing his employer inside of the safe house which is of course a death sentence. You can sense a strange camaraderie between Winston, and John simply because both knew the guidelines. To break them meant expediting your life except now John is on a crusade to breaking more rules in order to stop the Camarilla conglomerate from taking over New York. Incredible speedy violence with wonderful location spots such as Rome, Brooklyn, New Hampshire, and so on. It should have had extra car chases to top off this movie a bit more, but I was fully satisfied with the end result. If they do make a third instalment there should be that one rogue assassin who decides that John's life is worth a lot more than what the guild is portraying.
Perhaps throw in a few policemen who do not know of the guild or who they all represent, which could add more plot to the story. From political bodies, to seedy back door deals from state officials. However it goes John Wick will remain one of my favourite silent lone wolf heroes.
