10 Most Rewatchable Films Of 2017
7. John Wick 2
Nobody paid to see John Wick 2 for the storyline. That isn't to say it's completely devoid of one, but what these movies do best is launch an all-out assault on the senses; they're brash, loud and expertly choreographed.
Keanu Reeves's master assassin is fast becoming synonymous with action cinema in its purest form. The fight scenes are hard-hitting, but almost hypnotically symphonic, and they have this effect on the viewer every time.
Although John Wick 2's set pieces are an addictive guilty pleasure, to say it offers nothing else is unfair. The sequel revelled in the opportunity to expand the series lore by revealing more about the underworld the protagonist hails from. Like every good sequel should, it takes the original formula to joyous excess.
Both John Wick films are thoroughly infectious for the same reasons, but the sequel is more rewatchable since you don't have to sit through a puppy murder every time.
