John Wick, is not only a return to badass form for the actor, it's also one of the most excitingly visceral action flicks I've seen in ages.
The blood-slicked, vividly drawn film universe John Wick illustrates is such a generous slice of pulp that, even if not original, per se, it exudes a confidence rarely seen these days, surefire franchises be damned.

Reeves is wonderful here, a marvel of physicality and stern determination — he moves with the grace of an old-school swashbuckler.
Neither surprising or groundbreaking in any particular way, the movie gives us what we want and leaves it at that.
Director Chad Stahelski — Reeves' stunt double for Point Break and The Matrix — aims only for a kinetic revenge yarn with wrinkles drive-in movie critic Joe Bob Briggs might appreciate, like martial arts moves at point blank bullet range; what he'd call gun fu.
There are some attempts at a comic-bookish, film noir vibe, including a hotel where all the crooks and killers stay, forbidden by house rules from "doing business"on the premises. And everywhere Keanu turns, he bumps into a character from HBO.
John Wick is the most blatant attempt to establish a character’s name recognition since the Angelina Jolie actioneer "Salt."
decent story and script,nice action scenes and combat,overall a decent movie
Report
REVENGE PORN is my summation of this film. I get the sensation of being emotionally manipulated to root for an ex mafia hit man when in reality, they are all despicable P.O.S.
Oh! They killed his puppy! Think for micro second.. John Wick probably did worse than that before he fell in love and left the crime world in order to live the good life from all of his ill begotten riches.
Coupled with absolutely no other true character development and for what of that there is, it takes a back seat to the non stop MATRIX LIKE hand to hand battle sequences that make up 95% of the film. Isn't that nice of Hollywood to develop a series of films where Keanu Reeves doesn't have to act and involves almost identical battle sequences using his skillset that he had previously learned for The Matrix trilogy.. hmmmm things that make you go hmmmm.... at least the matrix had an interesting and way more complex storyline to frame the action sequences in it. This film is extremely unsophisticated REVENGE PORN. How ever polished it may be.
Report
I thought that this film will be great because of Keanu Reeves and killer's story. But I was wrong. This film has no sense, characters are not interesting, the story is very banal, without plot twists *(Spoiler)* about overpowered killer, who wants to kill a guy because that guy killed his dog. I dont reccomend this film. But if you like visuals effects instead of story, you can watch It. I think that It is better to watch The Matrix (with Keanu Reeves) than this.
