Storyline

Bound by an inescapable blood debt to the Italian crime lord, Santino D'Antonio, and with his precious 1969 Mustang still stolen, John Wick, the taciturn and pitiless assassin who thirsts for seclusion, is forced to visit Italy to honour his promise. But soon, the Boogeyman will find himself dragged into an impossible task in the heart of Rome's secret criminal society, as every killer in the business dreams of cornering the legendary Wick who now has an enormous price on his head. Drenched in blood and mercilessly hunted down, John Wick can surely forget a peaceful retirement--but above all--in this lethal ballet of bullets, can he make it out in one piece?

Goofs

In the fight scene when John Wick boards from the WTC Station on a Path Train, it goes to Exchange Place. The next station clearly it goes to shows Exchange Place station again, although the audio is heard to say Rector Street. After Exchange place, in reality the next station should be Grove Street. Again the announcement is wrong.

User Reviews

One of the best action movies I ever seen

I am retired at 41 years old and watch movies all day and night. I take my action films very serious.. From Die Hard to District 13, from First Blood to Taken... John Wick 2 is one of the best action movies I've seen. Simply put.. on a scale of the good old 80's red blooded American action films, John Wick 1 will draw you in and make you a fan, John Wick 2 will satisfy your soul with the 2017 evolution of 80's action with a feeling of have hit the gritty lotto.

This is a man's man film that should be enjoyed after a hearty steak dinner (as I did tonight).

I may have to go see this again.
