John Wick is being dubbed as Keanu Reeves come back movie. He has done some bad movies of late but this is not one of them. Its a different type of good though. There is nothing special about the acting although every word that comes out of Reeves mouth just sounds completely badass, the cinimatography isnt amazing and the script isnt incredible either. The movie is just amazing because of how badass it is.
The plot is very simple, John Wick is a retired assasin and after the receny passing of his wife she leaves him a puppy to look after and act as his companion, at a gas station some russian thugs take a look at him beautiful mustang fastback and ask if they could buy it, he says its not for sale and drives of. That night the thugs break in, steal his car and kill his dog. So John comes out of retirement, a man with nothing to loose to kill everyone involved with taking what he loved which means taking down the russian mafia.
The reason that John Wick is great is because of his reputation, even the mob bosses are afraid of him and call him the boogie man. In most action movies you get people with "stormtrooper vision" who cant seem to aim, John is the opposite. He is a professional and when he walks in the room everyone is shot in the head with one bullet unless he shoots someone else in purpose, its almost art.
In conclusion if you are thinking of a batshit crazy movie to watch without a confusing plot, John Wick will not disappoint, its EXCELLENT (air guitar plays).
7/10
