When 2014’s John Wick became an instant cult classic, it wasn’t merely for its beautifully choreographed action but also for its hinted mythology and the partial reluctance of the title character. Like many of the best action movies, it had an identity all its own, and was concerned with very little aside from what was necessary to set up and deliver its thrills. Three years later, this sequel takes everything which made the original great and doubles down, making for a film which is bigger, bolder, stranger, and at times even more poignant than its predecessor.
