John Wick : Chapter 2
Man! I didn’t think Chapter 2 could out do the original, but man! This was Fantastic!
No electric boogaloo here, This is one of the best Sequels ever made!
Keanu Reeves gets that Mojo working again with the next chapter of the life of John Wick, known as the Boogieman to those in organize crime, he gave up his life as a hitman (THE hitman) for the woman he loves just to loose her to cancer. He was going to stay out until they killed…His dog! Granted, it was the dog his dead wife gave him postmortem but man, he went berserk on the idiots that did it.
Unfortunately, his actions put him on the radar of a man who wished to cash in a marker John gave him as a way to leave the game forcing the Boogeyman to get back to work.
It’s a bigger action flick than the last John Wick. More fighting, more gunplay and more violence. A very unique action film in the fighting style they chose to do. Not as fancy as you’d expect it’s a little more real and rugged.
And very violent. You get to see the things that they only talked about in John Wick. It’s kinda like they wanted to show you what John Wick could do in the first movie but did not have the money so they just told you, and now that they have the money they’ll show you, and they do a beautiful job of it. The cinematography and the art direction perfectly contradict the graphic details of the killing business Wick is so good at.
And Keanu man! What is this like his forth comeback? John Wick is literally catered to this man’s style of acting. Not much in the words, says a lot with very little and says even more with his action. It’s like a John Wayne Clint Eastwood deal with John Wick being this seasoned outlaw who wants to be left alone but comes from a world where that’s impossible because he’s so great in this element.
Keanu as John Wick moves and reacts like Point Break’s johnny U 26 years later. Big and clunky but still has the just to play some good football on the beach.
Herd somewhere that the production team for John Wick is made out of the Stunt team for the Matrix, and they most likely have been talking about producing this on camera stunt extravaganza for years, and they made it perfect. It’s fun and exciting and filled with those moments that make you scream out “oh snap!” every few minutes
It’s rare when a sequel is able to take the exact magic that made the first movie worth seeing and create something much bigger and turn it into something better. John Wick, Chapter two does this.
You gotta see it!
