It's Okay

Rating: 6/10 (28 October 2014)

Huh? (in response to the ratings/review) After watching the movie yesterday, I liked it. But the glowing reviews is going a little too far. The character of Wick stems from every western you've seen the past. Lone character whose purpose in life is activated by a terrible tragedy and is slung into action amongst other people similar to him. Yeah, westerns aren't made. This is the closest to it. And it's very effective. And silly at points. And it's fun and definitely worth the watch. I only wonder how terrible the movie industry has become that this will probably set a new "gold standard."
To be fair I felt the same way about "Guardians of the Galaxy." It's overblown hype, and wonder if some of the overwhelming positive reviews isn't coming from paid "reviewers." At best, this is a B-level 70's style revenge flick. A lot of bark, and some bite.
It's okay.
