"Exactly. Rules."
This John Wick sequel inevitably lacks the freshness of the original, but it replicates effectively many of the things that made the first film so enjoyable. There is much enjoyment to be had in watching Reeves at last play a character so comfortably and ably, and the (admittedly) slight attempts to humanise the almost indestructible assassin are quite endearing. It is a shame that cinemagoers in the UK get a trimmed version, although the bouts of uber-violence remain riotously over-the-top and entrancingly entertaining. It is perhaps a shade long - its run-time of just over two hours is noticeable - but the range of terrific scenarios and characters just keep on coming and make Chapter 2 extremely entertaining indeed.
