John Wick: Chapter 2 (possible spoilers)
2Watched the movie this morning. That opening scene. Just . Listening to that car roar down the streets amidst all the bright colors. My eyes and ears were very pleased.
I was grinning like an idiot while John was in the tunnels, kicking ass.
One of my favorite Keanu roles.

Plus the dog made it. I checked at https://www.movieswhere.com/topic/detail?topicId=1
Just to be sure before I saw.
For years I have been saying I’d like to see a remake of an old film called The Assassination Bureau. I thought that the underworld in which John lives reminded me of the world of the Assassination Bureau, now it looks like the next Wick film will certainly be an homage to that film.
@moondrake dog deaths in movies are so terribly depressing.
I’m excited to see where it’ll go. I’m not sure that John made the right decision at the end.
@RiotDemon yeah, my friend and I thought he should have dragged the asshole outside and finished it there.

I did have a plot problem, though. I would think the assassinating a member of the board would be against their laws. No one is safe from a determined assassin, if it was okay to just murder one for their spot the society would be in constant chaos. There was that scene where the sister met with the (African?) guy and told him she was taking his territory. I thought that was setting it up for the brother to use him as a fall guy, that he’d make everyone think that guy had her killed and John Wick would have to prove it was the brother to clear his name. I don’t know why that scene was in there if not to present a patsy for the brother to blame.
@moondrake I thought that maybe he was going to team up with that guy since he was against that lady… But then he shook the brother’s hand afterwards like no big deal. Maybe in the next chapter John will get some help? I mean, he lost all of his contacts, and everyone is after him. How is he going to survive?
@RiotDemon well, he’s supposed to be the best of the best, so here’s the test. That’s basically the plot of The Assassination Bureau, a woman goes to the head of the assassins’ organization and asks for a contract on him. The guy decides that the organization needs some housecleaning and he’s confident in his skills so he takes the contract. The movie is one assassin after another from his own organization trying to kill him. It’s a lighthearted romp set in like the 1880’s, starring Oliver Reed. There’s a big sword fight at the end in a dirigible. They keep poking holes in the airbags so the whole thing is slowly crashing. I’ve been saying for years that it should be remade as a steampunk film.
