Is bigger better?

Rating: 7/10 (15 June 2017)

Plot; Desiring to finally retire, legendary hit-man John Wick is instead pulled back into his former life when a mysterious crime lord calls in an unbreakable favor.
John Wick: Chapter 2 takes the background lore of the original--of this secret society of elite assassins--and pushes it to the forefront while also amplifying theÂ scale and the chaos. But is bigger better? I'm... not sure. It's fun to watch the dazzling close quarter Gun-Fu and director Chad Stahelsky manages to keep the carnage fresh, but I can't help but think there's a tradeoff similar to that of seeing a band in a small venue vs. a large arena.
