Rating: 9 out of 10, I was fully prepared to dislike this as
a weak attempt to capture some Wickian magic. I was wrong. After a slow start
this movie embraces the spirit of the Wick films and delivers. All credit
deservedly goes to Ana de Armas who proves her 007 action cameo was no fluke,
she is uniformly awesome as the main character/body-count-generator. She plays
a student of that weird Belorussian dance studio that J.W. passed through.
She’s on a revenge mission against a European cult that knocked off her
parents. She kills her way to their home base and just when it looked like it
couldn’t get any better, John Wick himself shows up, as this is set between
earlier pictures, before his “demise”. I thought the dueling flamethrowers were
especially poignant. This was a truly great movie, completely up to the high
standards of the previous films. Thank you, Ms. Armas.
MVP:
de Armas as gorgeous and deadly assassin Eve
