Great Action, Lacking Premise

Rating: 6/10 (19 November 2014)

Going into this film I had high hopes regarding reviews all around. Is Keanu Reeves back? No. Does Keanu Reeves excel in the role of John Wick? Yes, but not many people couldn't. This film lacked in every way possible regarding substance. When I say substance I am referring to the plot, acting, and overall feel.
Yes Keanu Reeves acting was on point, yet everyone else in the movie seemed like straight to DVD actors (trash). Especially the villain Michael Nyqvist. Such a corny performance. If by my taste I was reviewing this movie I would rate it at a 4. Thats a weak 4. But I am going to put myself in a neutral position since action movies aren't my forte.
To conclude, if you are in love with action films please see this movie! You will love it. But if you're more of a Bourne Trilogy kind of action film fan then don't. Story could have been understood by a toddler. Yet this is rated R? What kind of adults just watch movies for explosions and gunfire. Let us relate to a character.
