Best Fight choreography ever (1 more)
100 minutes of non-stop action, it's beautiful in the way the violence is done. Amazing.
Wow, just wow
Lots of movies get described as "an adrenaline rush, from start to finish" and rarely do they deliver. The Raid does exactly that. The best fight choreography, its more of a violent dance than fighting...stunning in its visceral display. The story is simple, yet goes deeper than just "get the bad guy". It's survival behind enemy lines, at all cost...but manages to preserve the hero's humanity as well. There are mine.t's of little action, but they are filled with nail-biting tension...and with the rate of the body count, there isn't a guarantee even the hero makes it out alive.
Sidenote: while a different movie altogether, yet with the same feel, if you like The Raid then give Dredd (with Karl Urban) a watch. Also a great film, and highly underrated.

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.

Don't know why the grief
I'm not sure why this movie got so much hate. I truly enjoyed it, and loved the expanded Force abilities introduced. Ben and Rey are much better this time out than before, and I like that they are moving away from the original cast and into newer characters.
