Thin story and a lot of blood

Rating: 1/10 (2 May 2017)

The film John Wick" has well deserved my straight one-star-rating: for the fantastic looks of Keanu Reeves and the absolutely cool music.
Unfortunately the story line is not at all carrying the whole length of the film: An alighted former order killer who started into a normal life again, is just mourning about the death of his beloved wife when he is being attacked by the brutal and greedy son of a former opponent. The nasty guy and his friends not just stole his nice car but also killed his cute little dog. Now he is seeking for revenge.
The whole story is told in the first quarter of an hour and the remaining film is focusing on the merciless seeking for revenge.
Not too much surprising content: A lot of clichés, black and white characters, not even the dialogues are too bright either. Funny impressions just arise from the absurd exaggeration in violent scenes.
A certain amount of dullness and murderous frenzy is very helpful to enjoy the amount of blood squirting out of heads and chests during almost the whole film.
Mr. Wick knows no mercy and there's no satisfaction until the last one is dead. Unfortunately that takes incredibly long: You will inevitably get bored of it although there are some minor variations in the killing methods presented.
Don't trust the average rating of this film: it's possible that the ratings are provided by some enthusiastic violence and / or car lovers and / or numb heads among those who are switching their brains off as soon as the film starts.
All you disappointed viewers: Why don't you share your opinion to balance this completely inappropriate good rating for this film???
