John Wick: Chapter 2
Keanu Reeves returns to deliver bullet vengeance in this sequel to the glorious 2014 hit. After his previous stint that racked up a tremendously high body count, John Wick catches the attention of a former associate. Bound by a blood oath to help him, Wick heads to Rome for more no-nonsense butt-kicking. Chad Stahelski, co-director of the first, also returns, as do co-stars Ian McShane and Lance Reddick - alongside new entrants Lawrence Fishburne, Common and Ruby Rose.

pressThere’s a quality to the violence here that elevates it above the literal (and reprehensible) nihilism of movies like last year’s “Hardcore Henry,” and instead achieves something more akin to dance.
The Guardian
pressChapter 2 will pass a Friday or Saturday night as mindlessly as its predecessor.
Hollywood Reporter
pressOnce again, Reeves does not disappoint, fully inhabiting Wick by channeling his rage over life’s injustices into an intensely focused performance.

pressA brutal, bruising bullet ballet of a sequel that builds upon the promise of the original.
WICKed cool
Action packed and thrilling from start to end this is a must watch if you're a fan of the action genre and it is a superb follow up worthy of the outstanding original. There isn't much wrong with this, it's pretty fantastic. Keanu Reeves does a great job in the lead role and the rest of the cast are great too. It's witty, punchy, and delivers well.
