That settled, John is called on to pay off an old debt by helping Ian McShane take over the Assassin's Guild by flying around to Italy, Canada and Manhattan and killing what seems like hundreds of assassins. In this one, which begins a week later, matters are still reverberating, and some one has stolen his car, which calls for a lot of carnage. If you've seen the first John Wick movie, you know that Keanu Reeves is John Wick, a retired assassin who comes out of retirement when someone kills his dog. The scene in which Wick has a hit called out on him and is assailed by numerous assassins, utilising weapons such as a pencil to survive, is one of my favourite scenes in Hollywood in the last year or so, and as such I can't recommend this film highly enough.
Reeves proves to be an expert in terms of weapon skill and physicality, and if the supporting act are little more than caricatures, then that doesn't really matter. The film has the same kind of fluid choreography as the first movie, indebted to THE RAID and very nearly as good.

In the second hour, this turns into an extraordinary action movie, full of breakneck fight and kill sequences, with literally hundreds of bad guys getting constantly shot by our hero. This one has a blistering opening action sequence, and then a relatively slow first hour which builds the story but keeps you interested. JOHN WICK: CHAPTER 2 is a great addition to the action thriller genre and a superior sequel to the original movie, which in itself was a very good film.
