Dark poetry of shooting

Rating: 5/10 (9 July 2016)

At first I was content with the cinematography and the story. It got me sucked in feeling cosy and poetic about the choreography of killing people in large numbers. This film has a covert aura that wants to make you feel good about seeing hundred bad guys shot in an aesthetic manner. I realized I was enjoying how the lead character was shooting people skilfully and with style. There is no artistic aspiration or audacious in-depth exploration of the drama of life. In 'Kill Bill' maybe there was an attempt of that. In John Wick it is just a guy that uses his guns like a ninja his swords.
From the cinematographic viewpoint, however, this is a film well done.
