An action sequel proving the John Wick franchise is here to stay.

Rating: 9/10 (1 December 2017)

A follow-up to the 2014 sleeper hit, John Wick, the second installment in this newfound franchise exceeds expectations by delivering on action, character, world building, and an engaging plot. Director Chad Stahelski returned to direct the sequel (thankfully) and managed to craft beautifully dynamic and intricate action sequences that feel as if they were lifted right out of a classic Bruce Lee action flick! Smooth cinematography and pleasing wide shots throughout, with little to no edits, make the action and fight choreography feel realistically grounded, and are absolutely jaw dropping to watch unfold. John Wick: Chapter 2 is a non-stop action riot that proves American action films don't always have to feel and look like studio processed schlock. 4.5 out of 5 stars (9/10).
