John wick 2
I really dug John Wick. Given that the big revenge flick that year was supposed to be the equaliser, Wick proved to be the better film and created a great role for Keanu Reeves, a perfectly likeable star who doesn't always shine (coughDraculacough) like he should.
Its nice to see the second film upping the ante. It sheds any notions or semblance of realism and opts to go full comic book in its style with a ludicrously higher bodycount, strange underworld hierarchies with their own rituals and traditions and some ott violence that includes the dispatching of several hitmen through the use of a pencil. John Wick 2 is marvellously daft and tons of fun. I actually think by the end it even tops the first. Recommended.
