Free Fire

Quote:Set in Boston in 1978, a meeting in a deserted warehouse between two gangs turns into a shootout and a game of survival.

Was looking forward to this as the cast list is great and the preview made it look like a clever, witty dark comedy with plenty of action. To be honest, it is like a Tarantino film where the end starts the film and then you have it explained to you .... only .... it's literally just the one main scene. It quickly becomes a bit tedious really. I started to mess with my phone. Watched it to the end and thought it was a bit shite really.





John Wick 2.

Quote:After returning to the criminal underworld to repay a debt, John Wick discovers that a large bounty has been put on his life.

I really liked the first John Wick film. The character suited Keanu Reeves wooden acting ability and it was a proper 'take your brain out and enjoy the ride' film. 
The second film pretty much takes off where the first finished. The only problem is - It's just a film of fighting with no depth when compared to the first (yes, I know that's hard to believe!). It is also clearly a vehicle to continue a planned franchise. The end result is a not very good sequel which misses great opportunities to explore characters and scenarios they will no doubt visit ... in John Wick 3. 
Only bother with it if you REALLY enjoyed the first film. Otherwise avoid it as it's no better than OK.
The the rumours of a tv series would make a lot more sense. There is plenty to pad out into a tv series, but another film isn't a very attractive prospect to me.
