Default John Wick: Chapter 2

If it's 1/2 as good as the 1st installment, it will be fantastic.

For those keeping score at home, Keanu Reeves does his own stunts.

Here is a clip of him training for the new film. Trust me, this is no novice at play...

Lucky you're a pilot and not a Hollywood talent scout.

Did you see The Matrix, Constantine, John Wick, The Devil's Advocate, Something's Gotta Give...just to name a few major Hollywood blockbusters?

No doubt you would've thrown Reeves out after Bill and Ted's Excellent Adventure, right along with Tom Hanks in his early career.

Wick is to gunplay what Ronin is to car chases...seriously some of the best action ever filmed and reloads, oh the reloads...

Plus, he beaned *everybody*.

How right you are. This is box office gold. I see a remake of The High and the Mighty. Except Keanu slaps sense into Shia Labeouf instead of Robert Stack. Have your people call mine.

I won't lie... I think Keanu is amazing. Just Google the dude's philanthropy and ethics in Hollywood. He has routinely eschewed money in films as well as giving his profits to special effects and make up staff. He's taken massive pay cuts (up to 90%) to get more actors on the bill. And he regularly does just plain, simple nice guy stuff.

John Wick was awesome. The Mustang alone made it cool.
