Great Movie

Rating: 8/10 (11 October 2018)

John Wick is a well made movie with good acting, visual effects, and sound design. Although the concept of its plot is a bit stupid, it was able to expound on it and make it less shallow by giving it more background and motive. One of the best aspects is its acting. The movie's action scenes were well made, and the actors chosen to fit these roles performed well in these scenes. This, combined with well done visual effects and sound design, kept the audience on the edge of their seats. But despite this, the concept the plot is based of is quite shallow. Though the writers gave it more background and motive in an attempt to expound on the concept, their efforts are unable to fully mask its flaws in the plot.
For me, this movie was able to differentiate itself from most of the other action films that I have watched. What made the movie stick out for me was its ability to take a generally predictable plot formula and expound on it. Although storyline is not the movie's strongest points, thee film's writers were able to mask the concept and change the sequence "formula" to make it less predictable and more interesting.
