The second spinoff from the wick-verse (after the tv special “the continental “ puts us back into the high octane fighting style. This time the story revolves around Eve, an orphaned girl taken in by the Roma family, trained in multiple skills (including ballet - btw what is it with ballet dancers being so dangerous?) who has only one mission in her heart to avenge her fathers murder. Along the way she interacts with John Wick in a Segway of his second film. Her personal war takes her to Europe to find information unfortunately setting off a potential war between families. Our favourite dog loving hitman is brought in to arrange a swift conclusion however this may not go the way expected. Film was fun, fight scenes well choreographed and good to see some of the usual faces from the Wickverse around. Only qualm I have is that the trailers promise a lot of John wick but the film delivers very little of him, and to be fair I feel the film could hold its own without his moments. A sequel look promising but hopefully that is without JW. Enjoy it for what it is, but don’t expect Kneau heavy scenes.
