Mr. Wick - Maniac

Two John Wick vehicles. No canines, no love interest.
As with most of Maniac’s edits, this is pedal to the floor action.
The two films do not splice together well, however.
More like two, high voltage television installments paired back to back.
To be more specific, by excising Wick’s “personal life,” this becomes a shooter game, with infrequent lulls to realign the plot.
There is no character development, and the backstory is limited.
Wick is barely more than a pair of hands, holding guns or clenched into fists.
Go into this expecting a fury blazer and you will not be disappointed.
For what it is, an efficient distillation of the two Wick films, this is a relentless edit.
