One man and his dog

Rating: 5/10 (1 June 2017)

After the events of the first film, John Wick manages to get his stolen car back. Not sure why the mobster did not gift wrap it and Federal Express it.
Now an Italian crime lord Santino D'Antonio wants him to take up a blood oath that Wick made and complete a task. Kill Santino's sister. Wick refuses and his house promptly gets burned to the ground.
At the Continental, the hotel for mobsters and hit-men. Winston (Ian McShane) explains the rules to Wick, he has no choice but perform the hit then go after Santino who has puts a large bounty on Wick's head.
Once the film gets going from its simplistic story line, it is a nicely shot and entertaining film. It is also perfunctory, as Wick survives countless henchmen who are after him. Some of the combat scenes with Common are good. The scenes with Laurence Fishburne were wasted.
