In a year that’s bringing us poor looking action sequels like Transformers: The Last Knight and xXx: Return of Xander Cage, it’s so refreshing to know that 2017 will also bring us a stellar looking sequel to one of this decades most surprisingly brilliant action films, in John Wick: Chapter 2.
Former hit man John Wick (Keanu Reeves) is back, and not only does he have a new dog, but he’s back in retirement. This doesn’t please a crime boss that wants his services, so when Wick refuses to kill for him, he puts out a worldwide contract on him. Many assassins step up to the plate to take their chance on John Wick, but let’s face it, they don’t stand a chance.
If you’d asked me a few months ago, I would’ve said that this sequel was unnecessary, despite how great the first one is, but consider me convinced. This film already looks exceptional; pulse racing, fluidly shot, and totally badass action sequences are what we can expect, and hopefully it’ll be one of the best action films of the year. With an all star cast including Ruby Rose, John Leguizamo, Ian McShane, and Laurence Fishburn (Matrix reunion!), John Wick Chapter 2 can’t come fast enough.
John Wick: Chapter 2 is out February.
