100 minute long action sequence

Rating: 5/10 (3 June 2017)

In this 100 minute long action sequence, the action is relentless. There's action, action, some more action, and then just for good measure, an added dose of action. Fans of the action genre will love it, especially since they don't have to concern themselves with any sort of plot.
Seriously though, 'John Wick' is so blatantly action-oriented that any intentions of coming up with a plot and sticking to it go completely out of the window within the first 20 minutes or so. The film gets so carried away with itself that any story that it was supposed to be telling is soon forgotten about.
If this is what the action genre has been reduced to, then why not just make a generic, special effect show reel instead of pretending that there's some sort of interesting plot behind what's happening on screen, when there blatantly isn't?
