John Wick

The movie was fantastic, but was ruined by the obnoxious and VERY prominent VILLAGE ENTERTAINMENT logo blazing bright in the top right hand corner of the rental version, the whole movie. I paid to rent this movie... not to be subjected to an ad for the company that never goes away. Be warned, the logo in the corner of the screen will ruin an otherwise enjoyable movie. Once your eye catches it, it cant help but notice all the way through.

It's a movie of more or less non-stop action. He's no superhero but it seems that bullets just don't work on him. He's unstoppable. While it's not entirely believable, the world it creates is rich and populated with interesting characters. The action choreography is incredible but given that it's directed by stuntmen, probably not entirely unexpected. Cinematography is pretty good and quite glossy for the kind of film that it is. Sound is awesome too. Very violent though, so not for the kids unless they have good grounding of fiction. There's action subtitles throughout the film which also give it a bit of style. Google's version of this film is great with subtitles all the way through.

Awesome movie. I know people tend to hate on Keanu but he's great as John Wick. His persona matches the character perfectly. Of course the movie is nothing new in an action flick. But the isolated, dark and broken protagonist that he plays fits in with his lack of personality type characters he tends to play or comes across as playing. Sounds like a bit of a dis but it's not meant to be. I've liked him in a lot of movies but he can come across a bit generic sometimes but he's great as John Wick. Watch it!
