Closing song: "Where is my mind" - The Pixies.
My dear, how appropriate.
Where was mine, starting this crap, and where was Roth's, while writing this?
Father's day.
And that's when Mr. Reeves is left home alone.
Not for long, because two rain-soaked girls appear at his front door. Reluctantly he lets them enter, and they start playing games. No funny games however, although it bears some resemblance to the similarly titled movie, but awkward ones.
These characters must die. That was my feeling shortly after their introduction. The most annoying girls ever put onto the silver screen. Posing absolutely no danger, apart from squirting sirup straight into their mouths, and still John Wick himself manages to get caught by them.
It's filled with literally laughable and painful sequences (at certain moment my wife and I simultaneously started sniggering from the ridicule we were witnessing), with Reeves tied in a chair, or the situation he finds himself at the end of the movie (when he starts mumbling:" a game, a game?", priceless, watch out for that scene if you haven't watched it already). Although he's on a losing streak, he still keeps threatening them, calling them names, chewing the scenery while going to places like no bold guy have ever gone before, and while he took two steps forward with Wick, now he takes 5 steps back, all thanks to Roth and his comrades.
