I'll be upfront with this. I like the original better. That being said this is a wonderful exploration of the world that John Wick inhabits. It is a beautifully shot film and the hallmark violence has been choreographed fantastically. This film finishes the business started in the first and moves onto a deeper exploration of the apparent unseen world around us. I'll let that sit unexplained for those who have yet to see the film. Blood oaths, inviolable rules, betrayal and loyalty are all elements of this movie that resonate with me. As much of a fan of the action aspect, this series is more fascinating to me for the world that is being built.
I know this has little to do with The Shadow but there are times where I could see a cloak and slouch hat draped over Keanu as he spins and unerringly fires any number of guns taking out those that have chosen this lifestyle. I recommend both of these films and look forward to Chapter 3.
