John Wick 2 (2017)

I was quite late to the party with John Wick, skipping seeing this sequel in the cinema as I still hadn't seen the first part (released in 2014) by then. On paper, it's got little enough to make it stand out: retired hitman goes after the gang that killed his (spoiler?), delivering a couple of …
