Surprisingly Entertaining

Rating: 8/10 (12 December 2014)

Keanu Reeves is back!
John Wick, what an unexpected surprise. I saw this film expecting your average Action flick. Lots of shooting, lots of stunts, the works; which John Wick delivers on. What I didn't expect was the beautiful way in which this film was made. Every shot from the first to the last is beautifully color graded and designed. The performances were outstanding from Keanu Reeves playing the humbled hero to Alfie Allen being very Theonish (Game of Thrones).
Yes, the movie is a little bit cheesy with its "Rambo: First Blood" incentives, but it's a lot of fun. A treat on the eyes and has in- depth qualities both with story and cinematography that are rare in action movies these days.
If you like a good action movie with a little bit more, John Wick is for you.
