John Wick : Chapter 2
John Wick: Chapter 2 doesn't make audience squirm and suffer in their seats like Raid the Redemption sequel, in fact - asking us to shut off our mind, forget the rising living cost for 122 minutes. The sequel is a highly polished, overkill - colorful and of course violent. Like an over-dressed Big Mac.
In the first film - a lucky guy stole a car and killed a dog who belonged to a "nobody". The nobody turned out to be Baba Yaga ( a fearsome witch with iron teeth, thin as a skeleton and have ferocious appetite - who looks like Keanu Reeves ). Keanu go all bad ass, hunts him down and yes nearly killed everyone in the first film.
Its mindless fun and it made money. So they decided to make a sequel. I rejoiced too as the film is recklessly entertaining.
In Chapter 2 - after couple of minutes seeing John Wick go emo-mourning again, his house got blown away, lucky thing nobody kill his new pet, John needs to be in Rome. We get to know Common, a cute "mute" Ruby Rose, terribly weak useless villain named Santino and highly unnecessary Lawrence Fishburne. Substantial amount of time is invested unto interesting array of tactical fighting moves, John in a brilliant Italian 2 piece button suit reloading and offloading bullets, slapping, kicking and punching highly trained and paid extras and stuntmen.
Dont worry, the cinematography doesnt make you puke out your popcorn. No silly handheld close ups and in dimly lit locatons. Its just too bad that the director put so much emphasis on the action - forgetting the characters and plot.
Spoiler Alert : guess in Chapter 3, John Wick will kill the whole world.
About John Wick - loosely inspired by an incident in Texas involving former Navy SEAL Marcus Luttrell, who wrote Lone Survivor, about his fireteam's ordeal during Operation Red Wings in Afghanistan in 2005. Luttrell was given a yellow labrador puppy, whom he named DASY, after the members of his fireteam. On April 1, 2009, at about 1:00 AM, Luttrell was awakened by a gunshot and saw four men drive away. DASY was dead in his yard from a gunshot wound. He armed himself with two 9mm Beretta pistols and chased the men through four counties in his truck until police apprehended them. They taunted Luttrell, threatened to kill him, and indicated no remorse for their actions. They were later sentenced for animal cruelty. Luttrell stated later, "I spared them because I've killed enough people already."
Marcus actually was played by Matt Walhberg in Lone Survivor. Pretty cool eh.
