Well, that was ... something different.

Perhaps Keanu Reeeve's best role since the Matrix, with Keanu portraying the feared hitman John Wick, who comes out of retirement following the death of his wife when his house is ransacked, his car stolen and his puppy (a last gift from said wife) killed by a young generation of Russian mobsters.

The elders of all who fear the Baba Yaga.

AKA the boogeyman. Or John Wick.

So a pretty straightforward revenge plot, with Reeves on a rampage of destruction as he hunts down those responsible, with some pretty intense (and brilliantly choreographed) action scenes, and with hints of a larger world of underground assassins with the inclusion of the designated safe-ground of the Continental Hotel(s), and with the gold coins that act as a sort of payment/token of favour.
