Nice Action Film

Rating: 8/10 (21 January 2015)

People who like films like the Punisher, Taken, Man on Fire and similar films...films about men with bad destinies who go out to take their revenge...well people who like this kind of films will also like John Wick. The film is not really deep or something (compared to Taken or 96 Hours for example) but there's a lot of action and it's really entertaining. After Matrix I thought for a long time, that Reeves started to act in all his roles too cool, without a lot of mimics and gestures. As John Wick that would have been totally okay, because he plays a cold-blooded hit-man. But no, Reeves acts very well. I really had to laugh in the scene where Iosef, aka Alfie Allen aka Theon Greyjoy appears for the first time. In the same moment Wick puts the gas pump into the tank. I'm not sure if the directors have realized the hidden symbolic and the joke...but yeah, people who watch Game of Thrones will know what I'm talking about. It was funny.
