Aesthetically beaufitul but an overall clumsy movie

Rating: 4/10 (18 March 2015)

I do not understand why this movie has that many good reviews. Sure, it has some good things going for it (choreography, some characters, nice action scenes, interesting places) but that's it. The whole plot (especially the first 20 minutes) happens too fast for the audience to even feel some sympathy for Wick. Dialogs are clumsy, some situations are ridiculous (and i do not mean the fight scenes, those i can cope with), the flow is just...weird. Oh and LOTS of clichés, really predictable characters with no real personality, everyone is kinda hollow and simple. I don't know, maybe it was not supposed to be taken seriously but it sure does not feel like a light hearted action film.
