The John Wick franchise has the feel of a 50s graphic novel - it is gritty and dark, and set in the midst of all nature of underground vices, and it is intensely violent. Once you've seen Keanu Reeves character you can't imagine anyone else playing this character, he fully embodies the anti-hero. Glimpses of Bridget Moynahan are convincing of a great love, tragically lost. The puppy, as the last remnant of hope of love remembered, given and received, is a brilliant plot device. I give this a 7 (good) out of 10. Cudos to the directorial and production team for making something new feel like a legend and creating a world with its own rules and ethos. Special mention is also appropriate for a great supporting cast. Spectacular fight choreography! This latest instalment puts John Wick at odds with everyone, and the code becomes his arch-villain. I expect the third instalment (2018) will take use even further into the struggle for survival in a system he can't escape, and a world he no longer believes in or belongs in.
