A Stylish Action Flick of Pure Brilliance

Rating: 10/10 (23 October 2016)

John Wick is one of the best action movies I've come across in recent memory and it's critical acclaim and pure action euphoria is what will make it a classic of the genre in years to come.
The story is quite simple, John Wick a retired hit-man (Played by action star Keanu Reeves) used by the Russian mob soon confronts his past when members of the mob kill a dog his wife gave to him on her deathbed. After the incident Wick goes on a rampage to kill the gangsters who killed the only thing he had left.
Good violent action, polished cinematography as well as believable acting by Reeves and others is done well. The movie also draws inspiration from Japanese Anime, 80s Chinese gun-fu movies, Italian westerns, 1960s-1970s neo-noirs from European cinema. The world is also very gritty and dark for an action film but that just makes it more special.
I recommend this to any action fan who enjoys energetic shootout scenes and is willing to see Reeves make a comeback
