John Wick: Chapter 2 **½

Chad Stahelski directed this Action Drama. Watch Preview. Cast: Keanu Reeves, Common, Laurence Fishburne, Riccardo Scamarcio, Ruby Rose, Lance Reddick, Bridget Moynahan, Franco Nero, John Leguizamo, Ian McShane. Rated R for strong violence throughout, some language and brief nudity. Running time is two hours and two minutes.

[Keanu Reeves] is forced back out of retirement by a former associate plotting to seize control of a shadowy international assassins’ guild. Bound by a blood oath to help him, he travels to Rome where he squares off against some of the world’s deadliest killers.

This is a film strictly for action fans, those who measure a film's quality by its body count. I doubt you'll find a higher or more graphically displayed one in any film currently playing. It has a distinctly European flavor which some may find off-putting. But, as fast as the pacing and the body count is, it all gets to be too much after awhile, to the point of boredom. You can only see so many heads explode before you find it tiring. If you saw the first film in the series, you've pretty much seen this one also. The ending is left open for a third film if there is an audience demand for one. Unless you're a hardcore action or Keanu Reeves fan, you can give this one a pass.

There are no additional scenes once the credits begin. Screen size is unimportant. Theatres/Times.
