KEANU’S BACK, FULL TIME

Keanu Reeves is one of the rare blockbuster actors that always knew his place when it came to role choosing. Always with his feet rooted into the ground, he chose to revive his career with ultra trashy male action „John Wick” three years ago and hit the jackpot.

In the second part of clearly a great franchise in the making there will be two distinctive parts of the storyline. First one will be forced out, slow and repelling, while the second one will represent one of the rare examples of perfect action genre.

And not to worry, there will be a third part ;)

„John Wick: Chapter 2” will reward you with some fine trash action, if you endure its first half.

FIRST ONE WAS BETTER

Tarantino tends to make long movie stories, so „Kill Bill” wasn't much of an exception. With the overall time of over four hours, the quality and tempo of the story winds down in the second part of the saga, lacking the great standoffs from the first one.

As for the directing, all the major elements are there also, with with a lesser level of hommage, the creativity of sequences will be slightly lower, not diminishing Quentin's raw talent behind the camera. The epic ending will be somewhat of a anticlimactic when compared to the overall rhythm of the script as well.

„Kill Bill vol.2” is a good movie, but slightly weaker than the first part.

SOLID BOXING FLICK

Boxing scripts are not very creative, so isn't the parallel story about the troubled young inmate with a complicated family situation (Seung-bum Ryoo)  and the worn down ex-Olympic medalists drowning in debts (Choi Min-Shik).

„Crying fist” won't deviate much from its basic pattern about redemption through comeback and commitment, but will do it a decent and non too pathetic way. Acting is solid, and so are the fighting scenes.

If you are into boxing movies, you should watch „Crying fist”. If not, you can watch it also.
