John Wick is back! And he has managed to keep us on the edge of our seats yet again. The movie picks up from where the first one left off. The story starts from the point where John goes to collect his stolen car from the Russians who had stolen it in the first place, and the action sequences also pick up from there. Since very few sequels plug the loose ends from their predecessor, a big plus point for this movie for having executed the same flawlessly.
John Wick was a niche movie, and not everyone liked it. Same can be said for the second chapter as well. But those who liked the first part will be happy with this movie as Keanu gives an adrenaline pumping performance yet again. You should not mess with the boogeyman because John Wick will take revenge on you. With his house burned down, and forced to come out of retirement, yet again, he is angry. Beware Baba Yaga a.k.a the Boogeyman.
The movie is stylish, suave and provides for a good trilogy at the end. But they should end it at a trilogy and not milk it fail like in 'The Bourne trilogy'. Keanu looks nowhere close to his age - 52. He looks the same as when Matrix came out, well except for the long hair and beard now. His performance is consistent. All action sequences have been shot amazingly, coupled with some great CGI and stunt work.
Other assassins like Cassian, the mute Ares as well as characters like Winston, the concierge, and Gianna D'Antonio, as well as elements like the operator, Continental rules, etc, add a certain level of depth to the film which would otherwise turn out to be just a never-ending battle for John.
Looking forward to the third part in 2018!
Great movie. A must for action lovers.
My Rating 7.5/10
