JOHN WICK 2 BLU RAY MEGA SERIES
The settings - a rave at ancient Italian ruins, a museum shootout, and a series of fights in New York City all seem too convenient, and seem to occur only because the backdrops look cool. While entertaining, it is those set-pieces that are the film’s drawback.
From that point, director Stahelski keeps his foot on the gas, offering up one improbable action set-piece after another, all showcasing Reeves’ impeccable ability to make it all look easy.
It truly gets going, however, when the setting shifts to Italy. John Wick Chapter 2 plods a bit in the first act (after an intense car chase opens the film), but it is necessary to establish some character background to set up the rest of the story. That sets off a chain of events that turns his world upside down, and sets the entire assassin world after him. No sooner has he literally buried his guns, than a ghost from his past (Riccardo Scamarcio) returns to ask that he repay a blood debt he owes to him. Of course, that is right after he retrieves his beloved Mustang from the few Russian mobsters left over from the original movie.
Set about a week or so after the end of the first film, Chapter 2 sees John Wick trying to return to retirement. The film features the same over-the-top intensity that made the first film so incredible, with some insane gun fights and the most brutal death-by-pencil scene since The Dark Knight. John Wick Chapter 2 had much higher expectations, and while it may not surpass the original, it certainly delivers the action. Helmed by first-time director Chad Stahelski, John Wick and Keanu Reeves re-infused the action genre with some gritty realism that rose above today’s pretty-boy action stars, who need CGI just to throw a punch. Also stars Common, Laurence Fishburne, John Leguizamo, and Ian McShane.Ģ014’s John Wick was a surprise to just about everyone who saw it - a visceral thrill ride that catapulted Keanu Reeves back to the top among Hollywood’s action stars. The results of his actions set him on a collision course with the world’s best assassins. John Wick (Keanu Reeves) finds himself back in business, when he is called upon to repay a blood debt.
