Review
A star rating of 4 out of 5.
Alan Jones
From "the world of John Wick" comes a fittingly turbo-charged action spin-off, led by Ana de Armas as elite assassin Eve Macarro. It's a simple plot: Eve is out for revenge against the cult leader (Gabriel Byrne) whose followers murdered her father. But this is all director Len Wiseman needs to put his charismatic star through her paces with one expert set piece after another. From an astonishing car crash and an explosive grenade face-off, to martial arts showdowns in both an Alpine café and an ice disco, Wiseman maintains an exhilarating propulsion throughout. The stunt choreography is just as masterful as in previous Wick films, as is the moody, neon-drenched visual style. De Armas, who previously impressed as a CIA agent in James Bond flick No Time to Die, shines here with a cool integrity, imbuing her character with sensitivity and credibility, without ever stinting on the high intensity. A rogue's gallery of eccentric bit players - Ian McShane, Anjelica Huston and Lance Reddick, in his final role - gives this imaginative spectacle a camp finesse, and a couple of deadpan cameos from Wick himself, Keanu Reeves, is just the icing on the cake.
