Keanu's showcase of talent

Rating: 9/10 (19 May 2019)

As the only Keanu Reeves movie that I've ever seen, I'm glad it was as good as this one. When it comes to action movies, many fall flat (the exceptions being Kingsman and James Bond). The one man vs. the world is a great plot and is executed wonderfully. The backstory of John is mysterious and is revealed throughout the film. He's a wonderful retired guy and it is super entertaining to see his relationship with others. The antagonists are more like drones run by a leader as opposed to people. A great part of this movie is the cinematography, especially how it works in tandem with the choreography of the fight scenes. Even outside of these amazing fight scenes, the cinematography does not falter and is complemented by the beautiful lighting used in the slower dramatic scenes. Look out for the subtitles too, they are sharp and dynamic.
