Don't Mess with Mr. John Wick

Rating: 7/10 (1 March 2015)

A man called John Wick (Keanu Reeves) is grieving the loss of his beloved wife Helen (Bridget Moynahan) that has recently deceased from an illness. He goes to her funeral and receives the condolences from his old friend Marcus (Willem Dafoe). Out of the blue, John receives a special delivery at home with the last gift from his wife, a cute dog that becomes his pride and joy. John goes to the gas station in his Mustang 1967 and the Russian Iosef Tarasov (Alfie Allen) asks the price he wants for his car. John tells that it is not for sale and returns home. During the night, Iosef, who is the son of the powerful Russian mobster Viggo (Michael Nyqvist), breaks in his house with other gangsters and steals his car, beat John and kills his dog. Soon Iosef learns that John Wick was the unbeatable hit man Boogey Man that worked for his father and he should have never messed with him. Now, John Wick has lost everything he had and he wants the head of Iosef and he is back. But Viggo decides to protect his son at any cost and will pay the price.
"John Wick" is one of the best action thrillers that have been recently produced by the industry, with a great story of arrogance and payback. Keanu Reeves is sensational in the role of a hit man that returns to his previous life to seek revenge against the man that took everything he had to support his grieve. It is cool to see the code of honor of killers and mobsters and how John Wick kills his enemies. My vote is seven.
Title (Brazil): "De Volta ao Jogo" ("Back to the Game")
