"John Wick" marked something of a high point for actor Keanu Reeves. It wasn't a box office blockbuster, but through word of mouth it got around to a rather wide audience on home video.

So far, the producers have only revealed a few broad strokes regarding the plot. Thanks to a blood debt he owes to a former associate, Wick will have to come out of retirement yet again and dispense of his foes through the use of heavily stylized action violence.

"John Wick: Chapter Two," directed by Chad Stahelski, will also star Common, Bridget Moynahan, Ian McShane, Lance Reddick, John Leguizamo, Ruby Rose, and Laurence Fishburne. The film is scheduled for release on Feb. 10, 2017.
