Just when you thought the brilliant story had ended. Just when you thought The Babayaga came out
of the shadows to play and now playtime is over! Just when you thought the guy that everybody
is afraid of, was going to return to his life of solitude with his new dog!
YOU. WERE. WRONG!!!
The story picks up only four days after the events of John Wick, where after seeking revenge for the murder of his cute dog, John hasn’t forgotten his beloved and stolen 1969 Ford Mustang Mach 1, where he continues his rampage to rescue it from a chop shop owned by Abram Tarasov (peter Stormare), brother of Viggo and Uncle of Iosef. Having retrieved his Mustang, john is later visited by Italian crime lord, Santino D/Antonio (Riccardo Scamarcio). Santino forces John to honour the promise upon his marker and carry out one last job, which is the only thing that will allow him to return to retirement life. But will john honour his word and carry out the task and fulfil his marker or will he carry out his retirement life as planned?

At this rate, John should change his home address if people
keep knocking on his door like girl scouts, right? I’m sure WE are ‘in agreement here!?’ This movie is just what the first movie
ordered, nothing but fight scene after fight scene after fight scene after brutal
kills after fight scene after more brutal kills after even more brutal kills, a
splash of car chasing and debauchery and with the most, if not ALL kills ending
with a headshot or two in an art gallery and such. The last movie had an epic gun-fu fight in a
night club which went WITH the music.
This movie! Sigh. There is a scene where two men are casually
stalking each other firing their guns at one another in a crowded street without
ANYONE noticing. There is a scene where
John throws a gun at a man’s head because he was out of bullets. I cannot express my joy and odd laughs you get
during this movie from somewhat, graphic violence or the absurdity of certain
situations and scenarios.
I feel like everything I said in my last review, this review
is basically that x2 and a gold star. Keanu Reeves is no longer Neo, his name
is John Wick. And if the director and
the people behind this movie, such as the writers and producers, continue to deliver
such a fun-filled romp of violence in this neo-noir action movie in the
continued style and finesse, visually, we will continue to want this until
Keanu is physically unable to do it anymore.
I mean, he is 54 and kicking ass!
