Feels like ultra length super stylish music video

Rating: 5/10 (25 January 2016)

My own scale of rating movies is simple. There are just three possibilities:
1 - Waste of Time, 5 - Entertaining, but leaves you unsatisfied 10; - Superb!
John Wick is a perfect 5. Keanu Reeves is delivering a fine performance I am not really a fan of him, so fine means he is not annoying but entertaining. The reasons to watch this movies are:
Much well paced shoot out action mixed with enjoyable martial arts. It almost feels like a music video when the actions scenes start to roll. You'll hear thick drum and bass club music. Fast cuts, painful stunts and muscle-car-show-off. The story is almost a no brainer, which is for some days perfectly okay. Usually I have my brains switched on generally. So following flaws spoiled this fast cooked action fast food soup:
The story and development of characters is static and very predictable. What the movie also lacks is a real terrifying evil antagonist. Look, on one hand we have Keanu who really is bad ass. On the evil side we have Michael Nyqvist a mafia boss. But I don't believe him. I was wondering where is the real mafia boss not his writer.
After all the movie is a box office success. If I would have paid a cinema ticket I would have regret the waste of money. Now on Amazon Prime its OK.
