4.5/5 stars

The film picks up where the first installment left off, with John Wick (Keanu Reeves) having retired from his life as a hitman. However, his retirement is short-lived, as he is visited by Santino D'Antonio (Riccardo Scamarcio), an old associate who wants John to pay a debt. Santino wants John to kill his sister, Gianna (Claudia Gerini), who is trying to take over the seat of the High Table, a council of high-ranking crime lords. John Wick reluctantly agrees to help Santino, but things quickly go awry when he discovers that Santino's true intentions are more sinister than he initially thought. john wick 2 123
