Review of John Wick (2014) by Codayop — 04 Mar 2015
Oh dear, its another film with Keanu (one expression) Reeves.
Scratch that, this film is quality, yes, Mr Reeves has moved on from one expression, he now does two! Sad or Sadder, either way, they fit his character perfectly.
Criminal hitman (what other type is there, oh, maybe government hitman, cos their legal right?) who renounces his evil ways due to falling in love.......zzzzzzzzzz (yes, I know, wake up!), who gets forced back into the murky underworld as .... I wont spoil it - but its the best reason ever to start killing people again.
Acting is as you would expect it from all involved. Some very wooden scenes played by very plastic actors built around some pretty impressive sets and great soundtrack. Cant wait to get this on Blu-Ray simply to watch the club scene on full blast. Very atmospheric would recommend to anyone who likes bang bang, kill kill, boom boom kind of films.
If you are looking for intelligence, stay away - this script has been done a thousand times (apart from the main reason for him digging up his old ways) - if you are looking for that comforting film equivalent of hand to mouth action that popcorn provides, this film is for you.
