Unexpectedly enjoyable

Rating: 7/10 (13 November 2017)

An action film staring Keanu Reeves playing a character named John. Better than what everyone thought it would be
The action is incredible and it's very obvious how much training Keanu was doing in order to show the amount of skill that this character shows and is implied to have. Even the supporting actors have went through some level of training in order to portray their characters skill level in their profession.
One criticism I'd have is that Ms. Perkin seems a little dumb, having the balls to break the established Hotel rule of 'no business being conducted in the hotel' and it is shown that they hold up on that punishment, so even if she did manage to finish off John Wick, how was she thinking of getting away with that? Another thing is that he personally hires Marcus to assassinate John, a character who is shown right in the beginning to have a friendly conversation with John, implying they know each other and are probably friends. Did he really expect him not to go against Viggo's orders and even help the man? He was best not to even tell Marcus, perhaps even try to keep him in the dark about the whole thing.
Despite that, John Wick is still quite a lot of fun to watch and if you like realistic choreographed action, then you're gonna love this movie and it's sequel.
