This isn't my preferred genre of film but I enjoyed John Wick. It was stylish, spectacular, brutal and had an almost-emotional motivation because of John's wife and dog.

This film is very much a remake - just substitute Russians for Italians - but far less satisfying.

Still very stylish, still brutal - scenes in the catacombs of Rome and a mirrored art gallery in New York stand out - but simply too silly.

Wick is a master assassin working in a world of other master assassins. He shoots men dead with a single bullet without even having to look at them first to aim. Yet when he comes up against another hitman (Common's Cassian), he just stares at him for a while, and then keeps shooting randomly at pillars and thin air.

It's the same mistake Bond villains ALWAYS make - when you are face to face with a man that you know is trying to kill you - just kill him first! Ignore whether their name is on the film poster!

At least dog lovers have less to complain about in this installment.
