    Is the first one any good? I don’t like to jump straight into sequels without the obligatory background from the first ones.

      The first one has one of my favorite scenes in a movie ever.

      The second one is more of the same and I enjoyed it, but it didn’t quite surprise/hit like the first.

      Yup, really good. Like if John wick is a scalpel, this guy is a rusty machete. And John wick started over a puppy and a classic car, well, this guy starts his rampage over a “kitty cat bracelet” it’s on Amazon prime.

                  The sequel doesn’t wait 20 mins to go hard.

        I have to say that is the most interesting critique of a movie I’ve seen in quite some time. You’ve piqued my interest.

          It’s good, watch it. Bob Odenkirk is great as always. Haven’t seen the second one yet though.

            My coworkers have spoken well about the second one too (haven’t seen it yet but plan to). It’s always great to see saul goodman getting his revenge.
