Nobody does it better Mr. Reeves.

Rating: 7/10 (2 August 2015)

Keanu Reeves reprises his role as a suave and chillingly cold human annihilator in this flick. The movie has been directed by Chad Stahelski , a stunt coordinator and stuntman having contributed his talent and professional services in movies like The Matrix , Van Helsing, Point Break, Die Hard 4.0 , Rambo (a Burma) etc.
In view of the above it is abundantly clear and painfully obvious that John Wick features impressive action scenes, well oiled stunts and fairly violent imagery. As is the case with with most Keanu Reeves filcks, the movie has a dark and an almost grimy feel to it.
The story however is fairly straightforward much unlike The Matrix (which I consider to be a huge relief, since unintelligible plots are overrated) . It is a revenge saga and employs some very typical elements to accommodate a lavish quantum of bullets and blood .
The soundtrack is impressive and adds zing to the pace of the movie . Talking about pace, the movie is not very slow but some sequences seem stretched , which is really surprising given the short run time of the movie (barely 100 minutes). But the action is well directed and hence we can overlook this blemish.
It is an entertaining action movie devoid of any psychological complexity or "grey" areas. If you are a Reeves fan do watch it for he has done a good job in this movie as well. The tags I would would like to see in this movie are Cold/Dark/Suave/Reeves-of course.
