John Wick 2
Rating 8.5 out of 10
I am a big fan of the 2014 movie John Wick. It shows with Mr. Wick you don't want to mess with his dog or his car. Keanu Reeves is the perfect guy to play the legendary hitman they call the Boogyman. When I heard they were making a sequel this became a movie I was looking forward to see.
You didn't have to see the first John Wick to enjoy the second, but it would help. In Wick I our hitman has retired from taking out mostly bad guys and enjoying married life until his wife suddenly dies of cancer. As he is mourning a rotten son of a Russian mob boss breaks into his house to steal his car and kills his dog. Wick proves he is king of the head shot and kills what seems like half of NYC gaining vengeance on little fido.
Wick 2 begins not long after Wick I. It turns out to gain his retirement in peace from his no so nice mobster bosses he had to sign a bond in blood owing one of the worst guys a favor that he can't refuse. Coming out of retirement for dog vengeance means he must now fulfill his debt. Once he does his hit he finds hundreds of bad guys on all sides coming to kill him.
As with most movies of this type much depends on how good the bad guy is. Rapper/actor Common does a good job as the bodyguard set to kill Mr. Wick. But the best bad guy here is not a guy but a lady. Ruby Rose was good in last months Return of Xander. She is fantastic as the woman Wick does not want to battle but must.
I enjoyed this movie atleast as much as the first one. I was highly entertained.
