John Wick 2
I took my father to see this. As I was getting him the hearing aid from the help desk in the lobby, someone overheard me and said "You won't need that. It's just gunshots" I restrained myself from punching the interloper in his elitist face.
But yes. It's mostly gunshots. But it is all really well choreographed gunshots. And fight scenes and chase scenes.
Once you stop thinking "Well, that would have killed him", the film becomes quite enjoyable. I do want to go back and see if the plot is as paper thin in John Wick 1 as it is in John Wick 2. Again, you know what you are getting going in. The ensemble cast around Keanu is strong, which only makes Keanu's acting look even worse. There are some funny bits when you take the break from running and shooting.
And the end sets up JW3. Since JW2 picks up where JW1 ends, that is no surprise. Eventually, it will just be a 5 hour movie.
And Common is in it.

As a matter of fact, my anger does keep me warm
