Surprised to see it getting such good reviews. The trailer looked laughably bad.

Just watched the trailer, to be fair if I had that car and some dick stole it I'd go on a rampage too.

Silly story but the action is cool and crisp and makes for some mindless fun. Keanu Reeves is a fantastic action lead and Nyqvist makes a fascinating villain. Very cool Sin City esque slash comic booky criminal underworld. Don't expect too much, though. It's a B movie, just a superbly entertaining one at that.

Watched this today...thought it'd get boring after watching the same stunts, but surprisingly now. Mindless action flick Chapter 2.

The villain(s) were a bit let down and need a more stronger character/presence.

Can't wait for Chapter 3.

It was a little bit cheesy but I still enjoyed it.

Watched John Wick 1 the other night, entertaining enough shoot em up, I like the dog owner angle.

Saw number 2 tonight. Loved it. Its what I want from my action movies.

I think Keanu Reeves it the last modern day action hero!
Hes awesome. Though I do like Tom Cruise in roles like this too (enjoyed Jack Reacher tbh).

Oh you're an abomination. Hate him in that movie. And wish he'd stop doing it. For those who read the books, it's a crime equal to first degree murder of a loved character. Runs your imagination of a brilliant character.
I dont read the book so thats probably why :lol: Though ive read this before what you said. Something about him not being imposing or tall or something else (cant remember).

Yeah. Cheesy as hell. Love the underworld code, coins and markers stuff. Something out of a Mario Puzo novel, made a comic book.

Can't wait for Chapter 3.
I found it also hilarious. Like that scene where Jack and the bodyguard dude were just walking with their silencers trying to aim at each other, very nonchalant

He's supposed to be a brick slab of a man. Tall, well built, heavily muscled and extremely intelligent. A brute of a man, with primeval instincts and not afraid to get dirty if needed..... Something the very antithesis to what Cruise plans, sauve and sophisticated.

Yeah, the world fascinates me. Something like the Assassin's Guild you read in Fantasy books. A regulated and ordered world of killers with rules. After Matrix 1, this is his best movies yet imo.

Though the bad guys mindlessly run straight to him even though they have guns, it's just satisfying and entertaining without too much queasiness.

Thought it was excellent. It is what it is and doesn't pretend to be what it's not.

Soundtrack awesome again.

Just watched Chapter 2 on the plane, fun mindless action. And although I like him as he seems likeable, does Keanu have a speech impediment? He seems to struggle with his diction at times.

I actually really liked the first one, classic revenge, good acting even from Reeves for all he had to do. It was different from the second as it actually had a story to hold it together, I wanted Reeves to hurt the killer of his wife and pup as much as he good. The second one was less story and more action, watchable but a let down for me.

I dated her. Shit in bed.
Funny you would mention that, she just told me verbatim "i never came for him and i doubt he's gotten good enough to make now either"

Typical feeble-minded heretic, blaming your own shortcomings on others
