Review of John Wick (2014) by Glomman — 20 Jan 2021

After watching this movie I don't really know, where all the hype around the news parts comes from. It's an alright action movie with greatly executed fight scenes and setpieces, yet the story and (under-)world is absolutely boring to me. John frequently causes massacres depopulating entire city-blocks and it's mostly nodded off with a witty one-liner, that's fine one or two times, but it's seen multiple times throughout the entire movie.

Still better than any Fast, Furious, or otherwise stathamy movie these days and Keanu Reeves definitely carries the entire thing.
