Review of John Wick (2014) by Hotelcentral — 06 Apr 2017

"John Wick" is another in a long line of movies about a character, who, like Rambo, like Jason Bourne, like the Man With No Name, is the world's toughest tough guy or the world's most dangerous hired gun. If comic book heroes excite you, then by all means watch "John Wick". If the topic of actual real-life organized crime killers interests you then what you should see is one of the documentaries about Richard "The Iceman" Kuklinski, who is reputed to have killed dozens, if not hundreds, by way of the Gambino's DeMeo crew.

I give this film a 3 because if a character is going to take out an entire platoon of assassins he or she better be wearing spandex -- that or having flashbacks about Master Po.
