After he killed Santino on the Continental ground, he is now declared as an 'excommunicado' and a bounty of $14 million is placed by the High Table for his life. As an 'excommunicado', he no longer eligible for assistance of any kind by anyone.
With no one to turn to, John retrieves a crucifix necklace and a "marker" medallion from a secret book in the New York Library. From there, he tries to locate The Director while running from the assassins along the way. He locates The Director, a woman from his past, who accepts the crucifix as a "ticket" for safe passage to Casablanca, Morocco.

That is not gold, and I only accept gold.

This is carbon-free - I only have to be mindful of its dungs

An adjudicator from The High Table comes and demands Winston to give up his position at the Continental in 7 days as a fine for assisting John Wick. She also meets with the Bowery King and demands the same from him. 

In Casablanca, John meets Sofia who later brings him to Berrada, to answer John's question of The Elder's whereabouts. In return for the direction, Berrada asks for one of Sofia's dogs, which he shoots when Sofia refuses. This rages Sofia and she shoots Berrada which leads to John and her have to fight their way out of the place and flee to the desert.
Left alone at the desert, John makes his way until he collapses from exhaustion. One of The Elder's men found him. Pleading for his life, The Elder orders him to kill Winston if he wishes to live. John agrees and allows to head back to New York, but not before he shows his commitment by severing his finger and gives his wedding ring to the Elder.

I do not expect such a gathering, with dogs

Meanwhile, The Adjudicator makes her way around New York and recruits Zero to assist her. They visit The Director and the Bowery King and maimed them as a penance for their sins of assisting John. 
How will John complete his mission this time?
MY REVIEW Plot: 4.5/ 5.0 Well, what can you expect. Of course, John will survive this one too. I think there is nothing or anyone who can kill him. Owh. Was it just me or I think that the earlier fighting sequence (at the house with lots of guns and knives) was a bit slow and seemed rehearsed? I like it more when John resolves to his guns - I don't think he is a martial art type of assassin. On another note, Halle Berry kicks ass!
Cast: 4.9/ 5.0 I love everyone here - the original cast are all here.
Will I watch it again: Believe it or not, I have watched this one, twice. Told you, I don't mind watching a movie with the right people.
