John Wick: Chapter 2 2017

A sequel to a film that didn’t really need one, the first half suggests a repeat of the formula that worked in the original. That said, whilst the action sequences are variations on the first film, they continue to be entertaining with enough invention and complexity to make them work. Here the filmmakers also choose to expand the world they created in the first and this becomes the focus of the film rather than the central character. It’s still a lot of fun, but they are going to have to bring something new to the table to the inevitable third entry if they want to ensure the next chapter doesn’t feel stale.
