Review of John Wick (2014) by Mariandl — 15 Nov 2014
As I was sitting in John Wick, counting bullets and dead bodies dropping to the floor, I realized that over the last 5 decades I must have seen about 6000 movies. This one was easily among the top 5 worst ones on my list.
It is guaranteed plot-less, and focuses mainly on extreme violence. Even in its violent scenes it is merely silly. Why would a trained assassin who already killed 50 people miss his main target? Not very likely.
Yes, the choreography of the fight scenes is nice, but Hong Kong movies have done this even better about 2-3 decades ago. It is sad to see good actors such as Willem Dafoe languish in such a sub-par mess.
What is the target audience for it? 17-year old video-game playing nerds with an IQ of a blender. This movie is a waste of time.
