Quick review (pros/cons)

Rating: 7/10 (9 March 2016)

To start off, the bad points of the movie: half of the actors including the main villain felt average or even below average acting skill. In some places the effects were easily noticeable (sometimes terrible). And last but not least the move felt cheesy, it felt like they try to paint this super powerful image of the main character (just like internet does with Chuck Norris).
Now with the good points: as I mentioned half of the cast was pretty bad, but Keanu Reeves was really good, I also liked Willem Dafoe, Ian McShane, John Leguizamo Daniel Bernhardt and Clarke Peters. Some of them had so little screen time, but when they did, it felt so refreshing to see an interesting character after the sea of average. And obviously the most important thing is the stunts: a lot of the time they were impressive and kept me on my toes.
All in all, John Wick is a pretty good action movie. I wouldn't give 7 if it wasn't for Keanu. I feel like he's a good actor and he deserves a good movie once again (after the matrix trilogy), but this wasn't it. I'll keep my fingers crossed for you, Keanu!
