An exhilarating thrill ride from start to finish.

Rating: 9/10 (20 February 2016)

I am ashamed that I didn't see this in theaters because this is one of the best action movies of this decade.
You can really tell that this film was made by people that understand the action genre. From 20 minutes in to the ending of the movie it is almost non stop action. Kianu Reeves is incredible in this film. I would even go as far to say it's his best performance ever given. When the film gets emotional, Reeves is absolutely believable and you feel the hurt his character is going through.
One of the things this film did that made it great is how realistic it is. John Wick actually runs out of bullets throughout the movie, which is something you don't see a lot in action films. They also build up the characters really well. They make you absolutely hate the antagonists, and make John Wick seem like an unstoppable machine, which he is.
My only complaints with the film is at times it does seem really clichéd. The hand to hand fight sequences were also lacking a little bit, but other than that, John Wick is definitely worth watching, and I can't wait for the sequel.
