Film Review - John Wick (2014)

John Wick is played by Keanu Reeves who was a former hitman who retired to settle down with his wife who dies of an illness but sends him a puppy after she dies to keep him company but Russian gangsters break into his house and kill the puppy so he takes revenge.

John Wick is actually really good fun, much more than Denzel's Equalizer remake which was just DUMB! and not in a fun way as well as the Liam Neeson film A Walk Among the Tombstones which I found disappointing and the key reason I think is that unlike those films this one knows exactly what it wants to do and wastes no time getting down to business, Reeves is a very likeable lead here and he has good backup support by WIllem Dafoe and Ian McShane as well as Adrianne Palecki and Michael Nyqvist.

Not much more to say here other than its good old fashioned exploitation fun that had me smiling and will highly recommend it, 3 and a half out of 5.
