John Wick: Chapter 2 is an action-packed, very violent thriller about an assassin played by Keanu Reeves. Name a brutal act stabbing, point-blank shooting, bloody suicide via wrist-slashing and you'll likely find it here; the movie is nonstop gory mayhem. There's also some nudity (a full-frontal female shot, but it's filmed from afar, so it's hard to see details) and plenty of swearing (including "sh-t," "fu-k," and more), as well as some social drinking. And there are moments of wit and levity to provide much-needed breathers in what's otherwise a sea of brutality.
The film is directed by Chad Stahelski, director who made his directorial debut with David Leitch after a long career as an irrigation excise coordinator and action in a large number of films ranging from "Point Break" (1991) to " The Crow "(1994)," Matrix "(1999)," 300 "(2006)," The Hunger Games "(2012) and so on. It also repeats the scriptwriter, Derek Kolstad and Keanu Reeves as protagonist. Also returning Bridget Moynahan and Ian McShane; to which are added Peter Stormare, Ruby Rose and Perry Yung.
WHAT'S THE STORY? John Wick (Keanu Reeves) left the life of an assassin to get married and settle down. But his decision comes back to haunt him in JOHN WICK: CHAPTER 2, when Santino D'Antonio (Riccardo Scamarcio), the man to whom Wick owes his exit and who reminds him of a blood oath Wick gave as "payment" comes back to collect. It's an offer he can't refuse, but the assignment is horrific: Wick must kill Santino's sister, Gianna (Claudia Gerini), who now owns a seat at the High Table, a collection of the world's top criminal operators, which she inherited from her and Santino's father. Her death ignites a chain of events that will leave Wick the target of everyone's wrath, especially Santino, who's as cold-blooded as a man like him gets.
