Slick shoot em up with stylish visuals but anorexic plot.

Rating: 7/10 (22 February 2015)

Of its genre, a quite entertaining if ultimately absurd way to spend a couple of hours of your life. Other posters have gone into the plot discrepancies before and considering there isn't really what you could call a plot then these are major flaws. The only slightly interesting plot element is the Continental hotel, a hotel for hit men (and hitwomen) where psychopathic killers can be assured a good nights sleep without fear of being attacked by other psychopathic killers. Perhaps there is a hole in the market for that sort of thing....
But if you are able to overlook the films flaws you will find much to like here. It is slickly and stylishly shot, the action sequences( of which there are many )are well paced and choreographed in a style which borrows heavily from MMA, its has a strong supporting cast and even Keanu Reeves looks convincing.
There is a time and a place for this sort of film and it does what it sets out to do with a degree of flair, and I for one wouldn't mind seeing more of John Wick.
