Alien at the Movies

It's "James Bond" meets "Dirty Harry" meets "R.E.D." (Retired Extremely Dangerous) meets "Assassin's Creed" when bad ass John Wick (Keanu Reeves) returns to the big screen to settle unfinished business from the original film but next he finds himself caught in between a rock & a hard place when his marker is called in. It's a wild & crazy action-packed thrill ride with cars crashing, bodies slamming, guns blazing, knock-down-drag-out fighting, & professional courtesy. The body count is too numerous to be kept track of. You won't know who to suspect as the action goes from New York to Rome & back with major gun battles in the catacombs, a museum, & a hall of mirrors. Look for Common, Ian McShane, & Laurence Fishburne to round out the criminally minded cast in this fascinating secret assassins society. By the end, things just seem to go from bad to worse & leaving the door wide open for a chapter three. This is that fun guilty pleasure film with mind numbing violence where you just have to sit back, grip your arm rests, & enjoy the show.

Alien gives it 3½ "the man, the legend, & the boogey man" stars out of 4.
