John Wick Chapter 2 picks up shortly after the closing moments of the 2014 original as he goes to retrieve his car that was part of the impetus for his killing spree. I can’t wait to see what Chapter 3 will bring for John Wick when he has become the hunted.John Wick is back, and he still has a lot of people that need to be killed. ‘John Wick: Chapter 2’ is an entertaining action thrill ride packed with a hodgepodge of exhilarating action sequences, and striking thrills, and at best makes a worthy sequel for the 2014 surprise hit.

You can hear the various gun shots just whiz by from speaker to speaker, it is just amazing when you have the correct audio setup. Then add the dynamic sounds coming from the rears in the soundfield. This film is so dynamic sounding, balls to the wall non-stop action which takes advantage of the soundfield. It was so perfect sounding, which I haven’t heard such great bass in a 4K Blu-ray film. The thundering bass stood out as one of the most positive aspects of the audio mix in my view. The audio is something that you need to experience, and I would go as far as say that this is at a 12 out of 10. If I thought the video was impressive, the audio mix is out of this world. I do love with these 4K releases that we do get more audio choices. The audio is presented in DTS-HD MA lossless 5.1 mix, Dolby TrueHD 7.1, and Dolby Atmos. John’s suit is a perfect example as to how good the black levels are here in this film. Black levels are deep in this film and stand out very nicely with the color palette used. The lighting is also fantastic here as you can see in the darker scenes as an example where the images doesn’t look like one dark black screen as in some films. Details are fantastic, especially with the violence on the screen with blood splattering all over the place. HDR is well done and doesn’t hinder the picture quality at all. Red’s, Blue’s, and Green’s dominate the color palette throughout the entire film. Colors are absolutely eye popping and jump off the screen like you would not believe. I don’t think the locals, including Italy have looked this good in high definition. ‘John Wick Chapter 2’ not only ups its game in terms of the visuals from the first ‘John Wick’ but the visuals are mesmerizing in 4K. The print is presented in 4K/2160p with a 2.40:1 aspect ratio.
It’s an action movie, which tends to be judged on a scale all it’s own. It’s not a deep, plot-driven drama, nor is it an intelligent science fiction story.

It’s an action movie where the action really is the best part. This is a short review, I know, but there isn’t much to talk about in all honesty. Overall ‘John Wick: Chapter 2’ is everything an action movie should be. And even more, the movie builds upon the world that the original set up, making it just that much deeper and more interesting. And yet, the reason why it’s such a perfect action movie is because the story and the characters are compelling enough to keep the audience invested in what’s happening, thus creating better tension and excitement during these exquisite action scenes.
It features some of the greatest, most intense fighting scenes I’ve ever seen, and I had an absolute blast. ‘John Wick: Chapter 2’ follows John Wick after the events of the first movie as he is pulled yet again into the criminal underworld for one last job, held to it by an old debt.
We get action films now that are so badly filmed with shaky cam (i hate shaky cam), this film is brilliantly directed and the action is amazing. ‘John Wick’ was one of the most surprising films I have ever seen, so I was looking forward to chapter 2, this does not disappoint, fantastic film making.
