Same magic less nuance.

Rating: 7/10 (25 August 2017)

John Wick 2 captures much of the magic of the original film and loses just a bit of the nuance. Stahelski and Leitch again create some of the most interesting and eye catching fight scenes with an overall aesthetic that creates a perfect mood. Reeves gives a solid performance, but the mystery that made John Wick so appealing begins to fade and you are left with a very good action film as opposed to the greatness that was the first. The mythos of the elegant and orderly league of underground assassins drives much of the interest in John Wick 2.
