Almost As Good As the First

Rating: 9/10 (24 June 2017)

If you liked the first John Wick, you'll like this one too. This isn't just a repeat, but it has the same relentless violence as the first, the same kick-ass pace and direction. Sure, you have to totally suspend disbelief to enjoy it. If you find a whole plaza of people suddenly turning into deadly assassins at a glance, then this one probably isn't for you. It doesn't have the humour of the first either--Michael Nyqvist brought a lightness to his role of Viggo that is missing in this one. But all in all, this makes for a great night's viewing. Guns, knives and about 200 dead guys. What's not to like?
