A good old fashioned kick ass action movie!

Rating: 10/10 (23 May 2017)

John Wick 2 is a 10, in fact it might even be higher.
Relentlessly paced from start to finish, JW rarely ever gets a chance to rest, every step someone is trying to kill him, and the tension will get to you, and by the end of the movie, your nerves will be like a wet dishrag.
This movie did flesh out the world John left behind, but my one mild criticism might be that there is not much time for characterization, I think the first movie delivered more in that regards.
But its a very minor criticism versus the outstanding cinematography, the incredible fight choreography made all the better by the fact you know Keanu was doing all his own fight scenes and stunt work - it was over the top, yet believable in a strange twisted way.
All fans are anticipating and wondering where Chapter 3 will take us: John has friends even though he has been declared persona non- grata, and will they be there for him when he needs them? Who will take care of dog? Will he get to his stash in the basement of his house allowing him to get on even terms with the horde after him? I can't wait to find out.
I am going to enjoy this movie many times more over the next few months, and I suspect this is true of all fans. Blue ray here I come!
To paraphrase an old expression" John Wick 2 is an action movie for men who like real action". If that is you then so is this movie.
2017 is looking to be a great year for movies, and yes there may be others that are better, but none will be its equal.
Thank you Keanu et al for this movie!
