The story kicks off with John being dragged back into the shadows by a former cohort. As he owes a blood oath to his old comrade. Who is bent on taking down a criminal enterprise that is distinguished for hiring contract killers. With a strong cast to support it's vigorous story. The second chapter of the series is a pleasant surprise. Especially considering Hollywood's track record for squeals. A trait that seems to be lacking in most films these days is a strong villain. And as good as the story was, it paled in comparison to McShane's portrayal as Winston who was as menacing as he was devious.

Chapter 2 give's Wick depth and builds upon it's layers that it built in it's first installment. Will it be criticized for a few clichés? Of course, than again which film isn't. Considering the headway Chad Stahelski made in this, I wouldn't be surprised if this turns into a trilogy, and to be perfectly candid, I hope that it does.
