From New York to Rome, there is no amount of bullets or goons that can stop The Boogieman. You wanted him back and now he's back. Join Hollywood Redux Podcast hosts Matt, Kryzzalia and Michael as they explore more of the world of John Wick: Chapter 2 in this explosive review.

OUR THOUGHTS:

Picking up right where the first film left off, we catch up with John as he needs to complete the last part of his revenge story left over from chapter one, retrieving his badass Mustang that was stolen. After learning of his cars location inside the garage of Viggo Tarasov's (Michael Nyqvist) brother, Abram, played by Peter Stormare. John goes on a rather quiet and discrete (for John) killing spree in hopes to drive away with his wheels without bringing down too much heat on him. This sets the tone for the entire film, setting up action sequence after sequence in a true ballet of death and destruction guaranteed to please the inner action fans in all of us.

Getting to see more of the underground world of the assassins in this film is one of the most pleasurable parts throughout the movie. There is an entire montage of John getting his new suits, intel and the coolest wine tasting of all time with Sommelier, played by Peter Serafinowicz. This film packs in so many gun fights that go on for a long time and still manages to deliver a fully coherent and enjoyable story at the same time. We're sorry to say that most films in 2017 so far have the issue of not delivering on story and sacrificing it for VFX or an action sequence. John Wick: Chapter 2 delivers and fires on all cylinders.

Hats off to Keanu and the rest of the cast for trying to do the majority of their own stunt work throughout the film, we also want to give a nod to the film's stunt team. John Wick is a great example of a film using practical stunts and effects to the screen that bring the action to life and add weight to a film that may otherwise seem a bit silly in its abundance of violence.
