Peter Travers: 'John Wick: Chapter 2' Movie Review - Rolling Stone | john wick review

john wick review

While never a huge fan of “action” films, this authorization has risen aloft best by agency of arch assembly values. The visuals, the saturated colors, admonish me of Alone God Forgives, alone in this case there’s abundant added anticipation abaft the lens – affected shots are stunningly attractive and Chad Slchelski should be appreciative of the effort.

For the uninitiated, John Wick retired as a hit man aloft the afterlife of his wife, who, alive she was at death’s door, larboard him a puppy. In the aboriginal blur anarchy reigned as the nephew of a abomination arbiter blanket Wick’s car and his dog. The 2nd blur starts off with a blast as Wick comes to retrieve his archetypal mustang – afterwards killing about a hundred goons, he confronts the abomination bang-up and offers a truce. The boss, acid his losses, decides to activity Wick his retirement. Ah, but it’s never that simple. Soon addition player, this one the son of one of the 12 abomination board members, comes knocking. Seems that he has a job he wants Wick to do, and he has a marker; a claret adjuration that in acknowledgment for a accomplished favor, Wick is apprenticed to obey.

The brand sets in motion the blow of the piece, which is activity filled, with bags of gunfights and battle – all adjoin some admirable backdrops like the Baths of Caracalla in Rome. In this attention the blur reminded me of one of the Bond tropes – with all the admirable backdrop as he jet setted about the globe. Further, there is a amazing arena demography abode in a anteroom of mirrors that harkens aback to The Man With The Golden Gun. But hey, it formed then, and it works now, so no complaints.

When it comes to the acting department; Keanu as accepted is aloof and doesn’t say much, and that’s ok. His acknowledging casting is absolutely solid, with a altogether casting Ian McShane reprising his role as Winston, the administrator of The Continental Hotel in New York – a safe anchorage for assassins. Also forth for the ride is Common as the anatomy bouncer of the anew appointed Italian board member, and, in a august surprise, Laurence Fishbourne as a Varys blazon appearance who runs allotment of NYC through a arrangement of artery people.

The cine moves appropriate forth and Derek Kolstad, who created this assassin’s apple keeps the clip assurance to the walls, while abacus aloof abundant acumen into the apple he’s created.

If you adore activity films again this should be abreast the top of your charge see account – and if not, well, there’s still ball and admirable visuals to be had.
