A Good Action Flick

Rating: 8/10 (21 October 2017)

Keanu Reeves can't act to save his life but that doesn't mean he's not fun to watch and John Wick, showcases exactly why we love watching him.
Similar to Arnold Schwarzenegger during the 80s and 90s, Keanu Reeves has screen presence and his monotonous acting style fits a singular purpose. His talent isn't in delivering poetic dialogue, but rather, to display simple, visceral emotion and the physicality that comes with it.
In his role as John Wick, a killer committed to vengeance, suits his style perfectly.
The movie itself is straightforward with plenty of action. You don't need to try to hard to suspend belief but just enjoy the ride.
So, enjoy it.
