Keanu Reeves reinvented

Rating: 8/10 (14 April 2020)

What can I say? This was a turning point for Keanu Reeves, this is where middle-aged man broke every stereotype and became a legendary killer of hearts. He basically conquered the internet and all cinephiles with John Wick's performance.
The plot is simple but this is exactly what it takes to introduce ruthless killing machine. You need only a slight push and a sledge of calculated revenge will go right down the track. Precise choreography of fights is absolutely amazing, you can feel the flow and all the skill set that John has developed throughout his career, but the age takes its toll, so you can see that humanizing rustiness. The gun wielding was incredibly entertaining, you could add it to the list of things you can watch forever, like fire and water.
Another interesting feature is that the Russian language was spoken pretty decently without the iconic Jason Bourne random letter stuff. I mention this because it boosts Keanu Reeves' dedication to the role, even a smallest detail is approaching perfection in hands of this guy.
Additional perks of the movie include an amazing soundtrack with Marilyn Manson's song "Killing Strangers" that immediately jumped into my playlist. Talking about a treat to your ears: voices of Ian McShane and Willem Dafoe as well as their on-screen presents are just a blessing.
Overall, the movie is a keeper. I will definitely revisit it again, and recommend you to see for yourself this quality action that gives you the charge of brutality and dedication from one and only Keanu Reeves.
