The equalizer starring Keanu Reeves

Rating: 7/10 (14 January 2015)

Having watched "The equalizer" just over a few weeks ago, I couldn't help analyzing the similarities both these films share together. While both films serve well the purpose to kill time when you have got nothing special in mind, needless to say both movies are easily forgettable. Neither of the movies offer griping story, stunning performance or brutal action. In my opinion "John Wick" is slightly more entertaining. For one, Keanu's character is somewhat more developed and believable as a hit-man returned from retirement. Two, there is also a parallel storytelling of underworld structure and code. And three, John Wick has got style. However, if you are in a mood to see bloody violence, go watch The raid 2.
