As she hunts down the murderers, she must confront various dangerous figures within the ᴀssᴀssin world, leading to intense, beautifully choreographed action sequences that are a hallmark of the John Wick franchise.

Keanu Reeves returns as John Wick, along with Ian McShane as Winston, the manager of The Continental, the infamous ᴀssᴀssin H๏τel.
