Cold, bitter winter winds notwithstanding, 2017 will be a warm welcome for moviegoers – undoubtedly including those who prefer something much more grounded in style and tone rather than high-flying superheroics. Director Chad Stahelski is certainly heeding the call in recent years, now well on the way with his solo directorial debut in John Wick: Chapter 2 with actor Keanu Reeves reprising his role from their 2014 Stahelski/Leitch outing.
In this next chapter following the 2014 hit, legendary hitman John Wick [Keanu Reeves] is forced back out of retirement by a former associate plotting to seize control of a shadowy international assassins’ guild. Bound by a blood oath to help him, John travels to Rome where he squares off against some of the world’s deadliest killers.
