A retired hit-man takes vengeance when the psycho son of a mob boss kills the dog left to him by his dying wife

Rating: 3/10 (21 December 2016)

I'm all in favour of a revenge movie (especially when the bad guys kill an innocent animal). But two necessary features are that (1) the bad guys don't realize what they are up against and (2) said bad guys pose a credible threat. This film fails to meet either criterion.
First, the vengeance-taker John Wick (Keanu Reeves) used to be a hit man for the mob, so they should be prepared for the worst.
Second, they are not. The way that the goons conveniently break cover and shoot to miss would be risible if it did not go on and on and on. Who knew there were so many incompetent bad guys?
And what is a good actor like Reeves doing in this film?
A big disappointment.
