Fun to count the amount of headshots

Rating: 8/10 (17 June 2017)

My quick rating - 7,5/10. Pretty sure that is also what I gave the first one. Well, the retired hit-man is back. The commercial tells us so. I do appreciate this movie for a slightly different reason than the first one. Where the first did rely a bit more on the story and development of the character, which is a good thing, this one doesn't dabble too much into that and just goes straight at you with action. Another good thing. The sequences are strung together so well, it is just nice to sit there and take each moment in. I could do without taking a vulnerable Reeves and turning him into a bulletproof superhero, such as this movie did. Yes, before you say anything, I know fully well this movie is paying homage to the great action movies out of Hong Kong, but even John Woo may have questioned Keanus invincibility at points of this flick. But checking reality at the door to watch this is not a problem and a good time to be had. Director Chad Stahelski showed that his massive amount of time shooting stunts for more films than I can name (and he was tied with the much missed Brandon Lee as stunt double in "The Crow") pays off behind the camera lens. This may or may not be a spoiler, but I expect John Wick 3 to continue to go over the top. And a rumor of a Highlander redo? Sign me up.
