Keanu Reeves required to act in John Wick

Rating: 10/10 (12 February 2015)

Normally Keanu doesn't have to act. He has to show up and remember his lines and leave. However in between all the gunfights and car chases Keanu actually has a few scenes where he has to act expressing grief for the death of his wife (and also by extension the murder of his adorable puppy) That said the bulk of this movie is one long action sequence with one of the highest body counts that I can remember. I especially liked the cinematography by Jonathan Sela. Night time shots of New York City are very common but in John Wick the cinematographer brings a fresh eye to the proceeding. There has been some discussion of a possible prequel or sequel but John Wick is satisfying without any more details.
