Overall John Wick is a satisfying action movie, but don't watch it for anything but a good time.

Rating: 8/10 (14 July 2015)

John Wick is a dark and explosive action hit! Now before you commit to watching this movie you must be in the mood for over-the-top, unrealistic, action violence . If that is what you are looking for then John Wick provides in every area. The movie revolves around a retired hit-man who recently dropped out of the game to stay at home with his wife. After a series of unsettling events John is thrown back into the world of underground mobsters and assassins as he seeks revenge against the men who took all he had left. The story is not great but provides enough sway to convince you to cheer for Wick throughout the movie as he kills dozens of Russian mobsters. Keanu Reeves performance is sub-par as his character rarely speaks and shows little to no emotion, but since he is a world class assassin this may fit his character perfectly. The fight scenes are entertaining and the hand-hand combat competes with that of the Bourne series, but the story is not as compelling and also not as confusing.Overall John Wick is a satisfying action movie, but don't watch it for anything but a good time.
