John Wick (2014) reviews from people you don't follow
This is a real game changer in regards to action/revenge movies.A film with a very simple plot that requires very little thought but contains some of the best action sequences ever seen on film.Fast paced,fluid and intense with not one single minute of the film wasted with long speeches and unnecessary plot diversions this film can proudly lay claim to one of the best (if not the best) action films of all time.
I finally got around to seeing John Wick. I liked it! It's great action movie fun all the way through. The choreographed fight scenes were done well, considering the fact that that was the majority of the film. It's sometimes difficult to have that many and not have them all end up looking the same in the end. I'm not sure what took me so long to watch the movie. I'm glad I finally did!

“An ex-hitman comes out of retirement to track down the gangsters that took everything from him.” That is the synopsis of this movie. And that pretty much sums it up. This film isn’t trying to reinvent the wheel and it isn’t trying to be smart, but it is trying to be fun and that is exactly what it is.
Keanu Reeves as John Wick, channels his inner “Neo” with slightly more emotion to track down the gangsters who wronged him. Wick is such a “bad-ass” that the Russian mob refers to him as the man you send to kill the boogieman. The action is entertaining and the gun kata is especially fun to watch but there is no point where you ever feel Wick is in danger.
The most intriguing element of this film is the underground world of assassins where we learn and understand its rules and code. Unfortunately, the film does not develop this society enough which is a shame, because they have decent elements to create a series of films on this aspect alone.
Ultimately, unless you are just looking for the quick escapism of an action film, there really is no reason to go see this in the theaters and pay full price. Check it out as a matinee or even a rental. It is entertaining action, but once it is over, it is also quickly forgotten.
