When I heard there is going to be John Wick 2, I sighed hoping the sequel doesn’t fail to meet fans expectation, Especially after Keanu Reeves past movies from 2016 haven’t been as successful as the ex-hitman film. Fortunately, Director Chad Stahelski was once again able to deliver his best teaming up with the Matrix actor.




John Wick Chapter 2 was certainly everything that I expected it to be. I’d say the sequel has managed to surpass its first movie. Moreover, I am glad to know that this is just the beginning of Mr. Wick.

John Wick is still on the mission to settle down and lead a peaceful life with his new cute dog. But the past continues to haunt him as his enemies have once again driven the Bogeyman out of his retirement.


For viewers that have already watched Reeves in action as John Wick from the first movie, it isn’t surprising to watch mafia thugs tremble in fear as they question if Mr.Wick is back on business. But it is one of the main factors that make it an amusing experience.

The moment the movie begins, fans are made aware that John Wick is still in control and his presence instills fear among all threatening elements in the movie (most of them). Unlike the first movie, Stahelski shows that Mr.Wick is not as rusty as we may think. Moreover, his intentions to lead a peaceful life seem to have driven him to survive any possible threats as well.


The movie also gives more than just a glimpse at the world of hitman . Mr.Wick isn’t back just for revenge in Chapter 2; he must also honor a promise that requires him to get back into business for a contract. Fortunately, he uses more than just a pistol to take down his enemies.

We get to see Mr.Wick take on a world that is as gruesome as he is. Fortunately, he has the right tactical armored suit to take a beating. But that doesn’t stop our protagonist from being brought down to his knees in some instances.


The movie is immensely entertaining and worth a second watch thanks to the wonderful stunt team. As much as I’d like to appreciate Reeves for practicing his stunning combat moves, the action sequences wouldn’t have been jaw-dropping if it wasn’t for the supporting cast members.

Casting Common and Ruby Rose as supporting villains was the perfect choice . Just a few weeks ago I watched Rose play as Abigail in Resident Evil: The Final Chapter, she has great talent and can possibly soon pull off her own badass standalone movie in Hollywood.


I’m glad I got experience the movie in theaters. Initially, I was skeptical as the theatrical cut played in India goes through several editing that removes some of the best gore filled action sequence along with the nudity. But as far as I remember, I came across just one cut and I can assure you it won’t ruin your experience.

I rate the movie 9.5/10
