John Wick

John Wick is a simple revenge story with a lot of action scenes. Dialogue is kept short and simple. Because of this, pacing is really good. Cinematography and fight choreography are great; action scenes are filmed with minimal cuts and are satisfying to watch, although not really realistic. Music goes well with the action scenes. The world it is trying to build is interesting in its own way and...

It’s about time I watched John Wick, especially since I want to be up to date before seeing the upcoming film Ballerina (spoiler: I loved it). I absolutely love Keanu Reeves, and I know John Wick has a massive following. But I think people are going to hate me for saying this: why do people like these films so much? I appreciate the storyline that runs through the entire franchise. I like the ...

When a couple of young gangsters take a liking to the car of the recently widowed “John Wick” (Keanu Reeves) they little expect that he will be able to put up much resistance as they enter his home at night and pinch it - beating him up and killing his dog at the same time. What is clear to arch-villain “Viggo” (Michael Nyqvist), though, is that his hot-headed son (Alfie Allen) has gone and stirre...

Reeves is such a great actor. Another action packed filled movie. He nuts on everyone all because they killed his dog.

Simply a cool character doing a lot of very bad things for all the right reasons. Immensely slick and incredibly fluid action in this movie. But the subtleties and nuances of world details are what make this story so addictive. Even after more than a hundred watches I still have to skip that puppy scene.

Pure entertainment, this. Happy to have finally got around to watching this franchise! I expected sheer enjoyment and that's what I got. <em>'John Wick'</em> is good fun! It is more hammy than I thought it would be, not that that's a criticism. Some characters duck out surprisingly abruptly too (justice for Clarke Peters!), even when the one who should get taken out immediately somehow manages ...

John Wick is the definition of a blockbuster action film, with big set pieces and visceral stunt work that will leave audiences gasping. While the story and performances are lacking, the creators make attempts at establishing a greater world around the characters. There are some really creative services and lore that go into the assassin underworld that is simply brilliant. The acting all around i...

My wife made me watch the John Wick series when #3 came out... and I started with #3. She was pretty sure that I needed to watch the first two to understand what it was about... I was pretty sure that I didn't. Turns out I was right. You don't need to watch 1 and 2 to understand everything that is going on in 3. You don't have to watch 1 to understand 2. You can really jump in anywhere you w...
