It’s not for everyone, but fans of the genre are sure to love it and be left begging for more. John Wick: Chapter Two takes all of its predecessor’s strengths and puts them into overdrive, making for another great action-packed experience.
#JOHN WICK 2 MOVIE REVIEW MOVIE#
Similar to The Lego Batman Movie, the movie is so fast-paced and has so little breathing room that I can definitely understand non-action fans getting overwhelmed. Rose tries so hard to play that hardcore badass who never says a word, but could kill you in an instant that it makes the character completely unbelievable (yes, I know the movie’s not “realistic,” but she feels out of place even here). Most of the cast (Reeves, Ian McShane, Common, Lance Reddick, etc.) do a quality job, with one exception Ruby Rose.
It makes the film much more rich and is great material for more sequels or even an expanded universe. One of the highlights of the first John Wick was the Continental, a hotel where assassins can cash in their chips, have a drink and relax.Ĭhapter Two takes that concept further, expanding it into a whole criminal underworld, acting almost independently of the civilian world, with its own money, businesses and a surprisingly large population. While there isn’t much room to breathe here, the film’s more low-key scenes also do a nice job showing how damaged Wick is, a man who got out of crime only to have his world crumble to dust. John Wick as a character, plays perfectly to Reeves’ strengths, letting him show off his natural talent for action and his quiet charisma. Keanu Reeves may not be the most brilliant thespian, but he works well in certain roles. Continuing where we left off in the first film. It’s also nice to see people who can actually go toe-to-toe with John Wick like Common’s Cassian in the mix. John Wick (Keanu Reeves) rarely makes a bad decision in John Wick: Chapter 2, and even when he does, it seems like he still did the right thing.
spared no expense at making this an action junkie’s wet dream, with a bigger scale and more creative combat.
