John wick 2. No dogs were harmed in the making of this film! (may contain spoilers)

This is an ultra-violent action thriller sequel, and a genuine adrenaline rush. From the opening scene this is non-stop action. Starring Keanu Reeves as the protagonist John Wick (the hit-man who just cannot seem to retire).

Wick is part of the underworld of assassins who are governed by a strict code of conduct, he is a killing machine and goes about this craft with quiet precision. The plot is very thin, but compensated by the high body-count, which is probably the reason you'll decide to view.

So, basically the king pin villain has a 'marker' to cash in, he has a proposal for John Wick. John is the only person capable of completing an impossible mission. The rules surrounding the 'marker' means he cannot refuse, and he is forced to accept, especially after his home is reduced to ashes!

And so off to Italy he goes, no surprise, Wick completes the mission but not before the villain puts out another contract on him! In the end it seems the whole world is after Wick, how on earth could he possibly prevail? But you can bet he does and he'll kill everyone who tries to cash in on the $7 million contract. (You see, there's a John Wick 3 in the making) - Look out for cameo scenes lifted directly from "The Matrix" and "Enter the Dragon"

Though not as good as the original, if you like action, you'll like this.

7/10.
