Review of John Wick (2014) by E71 — 13 Dec 2015
Supremely cheesy compared to "The Equalizer"... Yup, you cannot speak of this movie without comparing it to that other movie that's very similar with exceptions:
This guy everyone knows. He's a hitman working for some cartoony "hitman club" right in the middle of a metropolis where everyone dresses up like they're in a 1920's speakeasy. Gun fights are pretty much like OTT, might as well be from the movie "Wanted".
The other guy, no-one knows (who he really is), he's a former CIA (presumed) assassin who plays vigilante and doesn't do cheesy Hollywood backflips with two guns drawn out. The way he kills sometimes some of his foe is truly brutal.
No movie is completely believable but this movie, although still enjoyable enough to watch is pale in comparison to The Equalizer. I highly recommend watching that one.
