John Wick

  Most people remember John Wick for the gun-fu and the body count. Watch it again and notice what actually sets all of it in motion: a beagle puppy named Daisy. Wick's wife dies of illness in the opening minutes. Before she goes, she arranges for a puppy to be delivered to his door the morning after her funeral, with a note telling him he still needs something to love so he does not lose himself to grief. That dog is not a throwaway plot device. It is her final act of care, a small warm thing standing in for the person he just buried. So when three thugs break into his home, beat him, and kill the puppy to steal his car, the film is not really about a stolen Mustang. It is about a grieving man having the one tether to his wife torn away from him. Everything that follows is the sound of that grief turning into purpose. The craft is in how little dialogue this needs. A few quiet minutes with the puppy, and you understand exactly why a retired assassin picks the gun back up. The dog gives the violence its meaning, which is rare for an action film. For dog lovers the early scenes are genuinely hard to watch, but the loss is treated with real weight rather than cheap shock. That respect is why it lands.

  Keanu Reeve’s very best since the Matrix!!!

• Margot Maritz

  It’s about time I watched John Wick, especially since I want to be up to date before seeing the upcoming film Ballerina (spoiler: I loved it). I absolutely love Keanu Reeves, and I know John Wick has a massive following. But I think people are going to hate me for saying this: why do people like these films so much? I appreciate the storyline that runs through the entire franchise. I like the idea that everyone is somehow connected, it adds a certain world-building element that’s quite engaging. But beyond that, I struggle to understand the hype. To me, it feels very action-heavy, and while that’s fine, I personally prefer films that are more drama-based or focus on thematic depth. Maybe that’s why I’m not fully connecting with it. Also, the sound design and music feel a bit odd to me, and there’s a noticeable lack of dialogue. The action is non-stop, but I find myself missing character development and emotional layers. I just don’t know. I can’t quite vibe with it. I thought I’d be into it, but it’s not really clicking for me. Watch my video reviews: ​​https://vm.tiktok.com/ZMSABUGLg/ https://www.instagram.com/reel/DKh1MyHiZH-/?igsh=MTFycXpzczFlNGhrZg==

  ~NO SPOILERS~ John Wick is an excellent revenge action movie that raises the bar with its excellent lighting, cinematography, and martial arts displays from Keanu. Mr Wick spends the rest of the film getting even with a mob boss for the actions of his son who killed his dog and stole his car. As far as the plot goes, its pretty simple but there is a lot of depth to the world. Reeves displays a decent amount of acting range here, but his real talent is bringing bad guys down one headshot at a time. Its glorious to see him smack a guy over the head, hold him down while reloading, and then take him out. The best thing about this film is the lack of shaky cam-- you can see all the action happening clearly. This is made possible by the dedication of the actors in their martial arts training. Support films like this, they are a rare breed these days!

  **The mastery of stunt choreography and world-building make John Wick the new standard of action films.** John Wick is a master class on taking every movie trope and delivering an incredibly fresh and innovative franchise that delights avid action fans and casual observers alike. Chad Stahelski and team break free from the now overused shaky cam to hide mediocre acting and push their stars and stunt team to give us some of the best action sequences in film since The Matrix. But to take this movie even further into brilliance, Stahelski prefers to show and not tell the audience about the world in which John Wick lives. As a result, everything is mysterious, leaving viewers intrigued, questioning, and wholly immersed in this assassin-filled world. The unusual gold coin currency, the legend and fear of John Wick, the enigmatic Continental hotel that forbids any assassin "work" on the premises, and much more sweeten a typical action revenge story into a cinematic treasure.

  My wife made me watch the John Wick series when #3 came out... and I started with #3. She was pretty sure that I needed to watch the first two to understand what it was about... I was pretty sure that I didn't. Turns out I was right. You don't need to watch 1 and 2 to understand everything that is going on in 3. You don't have to watch 1 to understand 2. You can really jump in anywhere you want, and be up to speed withing a few seconds. The plot is really that paper thin. You've seen movies with plots like this before. The tough guy that is the best at what he does goes out for revenge. It could be the plot from Taken... from any movie really. The plot doesn't matter. What matters is stylized nonstop action. The action is hard, fast, and it looks really, REALLY cool. The story is absolutely nothing to write home about, but it's not important to the movie anyway. That's not where the fun is. Everything is paper thin, everyone knows it is paper thin.... ... because we all realize that this is a start-to-finish action extravaganza and things like plots and stories in movies like this only really get in the way. Too deep and the movie starts to stink. So, what you have is really fun, really exciting, really cool looking action... and it's entertaining. It's OK to admit that it's low on plot, because.... it is what it is, and what it is is super fun and super entertaining.

  Simply a cool character doing a lot of very bad things for all the right reasons. Immensely slick and incredibly fluid action in this movie. But the subtleties and nuances of world details are what make this story so addictive. Even after more than a hundred watches I still have to skip that puppy scene.

  This is very much my kind of movie. Straightforward, lots of good action, our hero never waivers from his path and no social or emotional nonsense. Those who have watched the movie might wonder why I claim that there is not emotional nonsense since the entire plot is driven by John Wick’s very emotional response to his wife’s death and the subsequent killing of the dog that he received as a last present from her. What I mean with “no emotional nonsense” is that John Wick is never second guessing himself, the movie never really tries to portray him as an “ordinary” guy having second thoughts about killing the bad guys and he doesn’t go into some silly “oh should I really pull the trigger” trance and drops the gun in the worst possible moments as is done in a lot of movies. Sure, there are emotions in this movie. Rage and thirst for revenge in particular with the addition of a healthy dose of fear from the bad guys…eventually that is. The plot of the movie is, as I wrote, quite straightforward and classical. Retired hit man gets wronged by idiot son of big bad guy. Hit man gets pissed off and goes on a quest for revenge. People die (a lot of them). Hit man and big bad guy have a show down at the end. In terms of story that is about it. However, such a story can be told and presented in a good and entertaining way and in a less good and entertaining way. As far as I am concerned the way the story is told in this movie is very, very entertaining. Keanu Reeves is quite good as the hit man. So are the big bad guy and most of the other actors of any importance. During the course of the movie we get more than a few glimpses into John Wick’s former life and it is a quite cool background that have been elaborated. The secret world that John Wick was once part of and how it works and operates would be worthy a good old-fashioned James Bond movie. Then of course there is the action. It is an action movie so you do expect quite some expenditure on the action and this movie do not disappoint. There are lots of action and it is good action. Sure, the ease by which John Wick picks off his opponents waiving his gun(s) in all direction without hardly looking is sometimes a bit over the top but it is still done with a fluidness and grace that just makes it … so cool. The gun fights are generally mixed up with some equally good martial arts close combat stuff and it is really well woven together. One thing that I really like with this movie is that John Wick is the cool, cold, determined, not to be pissed off, killing machine from start to finish. There are really no slow parts or “obligatory” scenes of doubt and self-recrimination. It is “the bad guys will pay” all the way. This of course gives the opportunity to include some other elements that I quite like in a story like this. For instance the parts where the spoiled total idiot son of the big bad guy slowly gets his arrogance replaced by some good, honest to God, fear. Fear of death and fear of the guy he so carelessly pissed off. Needless to say, I enjoyed this movie a lot when I sat down to watch it with my oldest son yesterday.

  **Pure unadulterated action** John Wick - it's that kind of a character whose name is enough to inflict terror in the minds of people. And whoever isn't terrified doesn't mean that they're better, it just means that they don't know JOHN WICK. It definitely isn't the first character of it's kind, but very few characters of this kind convince you that they are what they are supposed to be. Let's just say that John Wick kicks a** and he is pretty awesome at that. I can't think of anyone else to be John Wick other than Keanu Reeves, the guy's living the character on screen. The hand to hand combat, usage of knives and guns, the action, it all seems poetic at times. The thing I loved the most is that there wasn't too much noise, no Boom Boom, just the Bang Bang, exactly what you'd expect from a hit-man. The cinematography, dialogues, background score, direction, action, everything was just what a movie like this needs. It ticked all the right boxes for me and I think every action movie fan would lap this one up. It is a great action revenge movie that never runs out of steam throughout it's course. So, everyone who loves to see bullets flying all over the screen, or to quote it better, say hitting just the right spots, go treat yourself to this movie. You'd be glad. An 8 out of 10

  Reeves is such a great actor. Another action packed filled movie. He nuts on everyone all because they killed his dog.
