The most badass assassin the world have ever seen.

I've been introduced to the franchise when the second movie was released. I will review those later on. John Wick 3 was the first movie of the trilogy I watched in the cinema and what a brilliant experience. I'm not an action junkie but this movie is simply amazing. You can sit comfy, turn off your brain and enjoy the fun. The photography is just amazing, probably one of the best I ever seen in an action movie. The colours are vivid and NYC is just amazing. I will not write about the story because its a marginal part of this trilogy. They created a living and enjoyable world where you can lose yourself. The choreography and the fighting scenes are awesome and even if sometimes they can be too extreme (nearly funny to see) it will never be too much. Keenu Reeves. I really need to say anything else?

Let me be completely honest: Salt is my favorite action movie with a female lead. The fighting style was refreshing in a way. I don't want to see my heroine do flips and kicks obviously meant to show how much yoga she's done, but rather I want to have a brutal and trained agent who just happens to have to survive. This flick delivers that in a very satisfying way.

The downfall comes at the ending, however, that seems to just fall short with me. Now, don't get me wrong I love what happens in the final scene and wish there would have been more with that. It's just that it turns a little contrived and doesn't sell where the story felt like it was going for me. Then again, with the fighting styles, I had really high exceptions for it.

Overall, it's worth the watch and deserves a place on the hit list. I watch it probably a handful of times a year.
