Part 2 was a rare sequel that was actually more inventive and enjoyable than the original. In this 3rd incarnation, Keanu Reeves is back with a $14 million bounty on his life, which brings a continuous stream of assassins trying to collect (and some silly business about the High Table). It continues with the absurdly high-body count and Reeves’ flat delivery, but seeks even additional ways to reek violence. Some of the scenes succeed (the dogs, horses and motorcycles), but almost every fight seems to go on longer than necessary. As a result, some of the stunts seem repetitive. Like previous versions, there are some snazzy locations. This non-stop rampage of killing features lots of well-staged action, which will satisfy Wick fans.
