Keanu at his best (2 more)

The best fight choreography since The Raid: Redemption

A surprisingly touching story, much deeper than: Man's dog gets killed.

John Wick was a surprise hit for me. I got the amazing action I expected and wanted, but the heart behind the story surprised me. I was expecting a simple revenge flick, what I got was a movie about a man releasing his anger at the life that had been taken away from him too soon (his wife's) in a way that gave sympathy for his plight (the death of his puppy). Remarkably touching between all the violence, this movie is a cant miss.

Heather Graham recommended The Shawshank Redemption (1994) in Movies (curated)

"I guess you got to put The Shawshank Redemption in there somewhere, right? That movie was just so amazing. It’s a wild ride, because it’s very emotional. I just remember the line at the end where he’s like, “My friend.” There’s such an amazing friendship plot in that, and then there’s that line at the end that just makes you bawl your eyes out, you know? So, it’s like, get ready for an emotional… It’s very dark. He gets raped in prison. He’s getting attacked. But that story between Tim Robbins and Morgan Freeman, it’s just this friendship plot that runs through the movie. I just thought that was really powerful."
