John Wick Chapter 2 shines

Rating: 9/10 (24 February 2017)

Once more Chad Stahelski and Keanu Reeves united and gave us action masterpiece. As we start to go deeper to universe that John Wick is centered and learn more about society that is present in that world movie takes step to higher grounds. After John is being forced to do things that he firstly refuges to do, fighting for his life he turns page and once more being pis*ed more than first time he goes in hunt for everybody that wants him dead and does that in magnificent way. Eventually got himself in even more trouble than before now he starts to show his power and his vulnerability. Greatly choreographed action sequences are even more intimidating than previous and constantly advance to surprise with cleverness but considering that director Chad was stunts coordinator previously he shows real skill in doing such scenes. It was lightness in some scenes that kept movie going with some fun and easier story development but in the end everything goes to Keanu Reeves in his new perfect role and dedication in improving his skills to serious levels. Adding Laurence Fishburne to this world will in future mean a serious business and most definitely he will be able to improve this world even more. John Wick Chapter 2 offers something that not even Raid 2 could offer to Raid: Redemption and that is more story telling and more background to universe without losing a bit of powerful action scenes. 3.5/4
