Surprisingly Fun Movie!

Rating: 7/10 (6 May 2015)

So why watch John Wick? I asked myself that same question when the wife and I got a free Red-Box code and she had heard good things about this movie and wanted to watch it, while I on the other hand not being a big fan of Keanu Reeves originally wanted no part in it, but decided that as long as we were watching for free then I couldn't complain too much... and there was absolutely nothing to complain about. I loved this movie!
The draw to this movie is of course the non-stop heart-pounding action. The plot wasn't complicated, and there was a lot of this universe left unexplained, but I felt that actually added to the movie: they didn't have to get into ever painstaking detail of who John Wick was, because the bad guys knew who he was, and they were terrified of him, that was really all you needed to know.
Like my summary says: This was just a surprisingly fun movie. Just sit back, don't let your brain think too hard about the "journey", and just enjoy the ride.
