CRITIC'S REVIEW
John Wick: Chapter 2 is the real deal in action-movie fireworks – it's pure cinema, an adrenaline rocket of image and sound that explodes on contact. Reeves is thoroughly persuasive as a killer who takes pride in his expertise. The role he began with 2014's “John Wick” is tailor-made for his laconic acting style. JOHN WICK: CHAPTER 2 is a great addition to the action thriller genre and a superior sequel to the original movie, which in itself was a very good film. This one has a blistering opening action sequence, and then a relatively slow first hour which builds the story but keeps you interested. The sequels to John Wick have larger budgets, more elaborate action sequences, and expanded narratives.

THE HISTORY OF THE JOHN WICK GOLD COINS
Courtesy of the UNITED STATES GOLD BUREAU
It’s hard not to love the John Wick action film franchise starring Keanu Reeves. The continuing story of an elite assassin who came out of retirement to avenge the death of his dog spans 3 films to date, with a highly anticipated 4th installment coming in 2022. Along with the charm of John Wick himself, one of the most appealing aspects of these films is the world in which they exist. A world that is highly stylized, rich, and operates within its own unique guidelines and rules. In this video we are breaking down one of the driving components of the John Wick universe, the thing that makes its underworld go round, INVALUABLE INFAMOUS GOLD COINS!The currency used in the underworld run by The High Table is a special type of gold coin. We get our first glimpse at the coins in the first film, after John takes a sledgehammer to his basement floor, revealing a case of guns, and whole lotta gold coins arranged in neat rows within a wooden chest.
The coins themselves have images and Latin phrases on both sides. On one side, a lion stands behind a shield emblazoned with the sun. At the top of the coin is the phrase, “Ens Causa Sui,” translated to, “Something generated within itself.” At the bottom, are the Roman numerals MMI (2001) perhaps symbolizing the length of time The High Table has been in charge of this underworld. The reverse portrays a person with a shield emblazoned with a cross. Below the individual is a large laurel. The phrase “Ex Unitae Vires,” is written on the topside, translating to “Out of unity comes strength.”
The use of the coin is universal in this criminal society of assassins, though it is somewhat unclear what their value is as there is not a consistent value of these gold coins and it is unknown if the coins can be exchanged for cash.
Instead, these coins are used in exchange for various goods and services, including guns, knives, bulletproof suits, clean up and disposal of bodies and evidence, bar cover charges and tabs, and hotel accommodations at the #1 rated hotel by assassins, The Continental. The use of gold coins is the puzzle. Part of the mystery is why everything in the Continental appears to cost one gold coin. Perhaps, the gold coin compensates for the extra security which the Continental provides- safety from being murdered by other highly trained and lethal assassins while sipping on an Old Fashioned. You aren’t guaranteed secrecy and security at your local gun shop- so the value of the drink or a gun seem to be just a small share of the total value of the service provided thus potentially explaining why one coin can be the standard.
In JW2, we see Winston, the “owner” of The Continental, signing off on a new batch of gold coins thus explaining that these gold coins are not some ancient currency, but rather newly minted and injected into The Continental’s monetary flow and to be distributed and used by its network of assassins.
However, we at the USGB and you, our reader, understand the real value of gold in cash dollars. Assuming that a single coin is one ounce and with the current price of gold is around $1,275 an ounce, well, I for one won’t be complaining about expensive drinks for a while.
In the first Wick feature, he pays a coin per body for corpse removal service of twelve dead bodies which equals out to $15,300 according to the current gold standard.
The gold coins are exchanged for several weapons Wick purchases from the “sommelier” in Rome. He also throws down on a custom bulletproof suit as well as what looks to be an ancient map of Roman catacombs. He appears to pay four gold coins for access to the map and keys to the gates (let’s call it $5,100) and we don’t see how much he pays for his “tactical” custom suit and weapons, other than sliding a single gold coin to a seamstress who then escorts him to the back room.
STORYLINERetired super-assassin John Wick's plans to resume a quiet civilian life are cut short when Italian gangster Santino D'Antonio shows up on his doorstep with a gold marker, compelling him to repay past favours. Ordered by Winston, the kingpin of secret assassin society The Continental, to respect the organisation's ancient code, Wick reluctantly accepts the assignment to travel to Rome to take out D'Antonio's sister, the ruthless capo atop the Italian Camorra crime syndicate.

PARENTAL INFORMATION Rated R for strong violence throughout, some language and brief nudity. Assassin action sequel is thrilling but very bloody.Parents need to know that, like the original John Wick: Chapter 2 is an action-packed, very violent thriller about an assassin played by Keanu Reeves. Name a brutal act -- stabbing, point-blank shooting, bloody suicide via wrist-slashing -- and you'll likely find it here; the movie is nonstop gory mayhem. There's also some nudity (a full-frontal female shot, but it's filmed from afar, so it's hard to see details) and plenty of swearing (including "s--t," "f--k," and more), as well as some social drinking. And there are moments of wit and levity to provide much-needed breathers in what's otherwise a sea of brutality.Seller's Note to Parents: There is an infamous scene where a man is stabbed through the ear with a pencil, seen up close, and also a calm but still bloody scene where a woman slits her wrists in a large bathtub.
