A brutal, bruising bullet ballet of a sequel that builds upon the promise of the original. Characters keep asking if John Wick is back. Yeah, we’re thinking he’s back.
Bigger isn’t always better, but Chad Stahelski proves himself an action force to be reckoned with.
Not as groundbreaking as its predecessor, but its ‘more of the same’ mantra will satisfy fans. Stunning fights, relentless action and a super-cool Keanu.
Watching this reluctant ass-kicker do his thing sure is fun, but it might be time to give the guy a break.
The very colourful supporting cast includes Peter Stormare, Franco Nero and Laurence Fishburne. At least, they all seem to relish the cartoonish absurdity of the project.
Well-executed follow-up ramps up the shootouts, leaving monosyllabic Keanu Reeves never more than 9mm from a bloody gun battle.
Mostly this is a dead loss.
Keanu Reeves is back in full force for an elegantly violent sequel.
