John Wick: Chapter 2 (EOTWS)

End Of The Week Shorts #12.1 extract: John Wick: Chapter 2 (2017)

I hate to say it, and I'm shocked that I have to, but, Keanu Reeves was the worst part of this movie. Though we can all appreciate the immense amount of work and effort that must have gone into this movie on his behalf, it's clear that Reeves simply isn't Bruce Lee. In other words, you can see that he's an actor playing John Wick - especially in the action scenes--which is of course a huge let-down. And added to his shaky action performances is a horrific character performance. The lines he has to say throughout this movie are terrible on paper.... but so much worse as he delivers them. 

That said though, you can have quite a bit of fun with this movie. My favourite aspect was the ludicrous lengths it took the 'guy code' of hitmen with all their rules and regulations. A lot more can be said on this topic, but John Wick 2 is simply a somewhat well executed, dumb, fun movie.
