A ballet with guns and a brand new world.

Rating: 10/10 (29 December 2014)

The directorial debut of Chad Stahelski, former stuntman of Keanu Reeves, is everything a fan of the genre, for a long time, has been expecting. With a beautiful choreographed violence, with very well made clichés and presenting a small new world of empathic criminals, creditors of dangerous deadly skills, John Wick is the name that everyone should know.
Called to be the best action film of 2014, John Wick is a violent dance of bullet and blood that reflects all the years of experience of it's director as a stunt man and stunt coordinator. Each armed combat we have the opportunity to enjoy is wonderfully imagined, well polished and sublimely executed by a Reeves, that finally, is back, and apparently with a name that could have the title of legend. Filling the 101 minutes of pleasant clichés, Derek Kolstad delivers a script with a new and unique underworld, made out of rules that must be obeyed and a moral code that can be broken if the price is right. With a simple plot, good humor and a Keanu Reeves back to his days of anti-hero chosen by chance, John Wick is a possible franchise that should continue with its beautifully made clichés, that should exaggerate their camera movements and that should fill with cameos every table of that little new world.
John Wick: 8/10.
