Action Fan's Wet Dream

Rating: 8/10 (24 October 2014)

I saw "John Wick", starring Keanu Reeves-the Matrix movies, Speed; Michael Nyqvist-Mission:Impossible_Ghost Protocol, The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo_2009, Willem Dafoe-The Fault in Our Stars, John Carter and Adrianne Palicki-G.I.Joe:Retaliation, Red Dawn_2012.
If you like action movies, then you should love this one-I did. It's directed by a couple of newcomers, David Leitch & Chad Stahelski, who have worked as stunt men on the Matrix movies with Keanu. Keanu plays a retired assassin-yeah,like they can ever just retire-that gets married, then his wife dies and then he gets sucked back into the business. His nickname when he was working was The Boogeyman. Michael plays a Russian mob boss that has a stupid son; his son steals Keanu's car and kills Keanu's dog-see? stupid. I know, the plot sounds like it could be a great country music song; He looses his wife, he looses his car and then he looses his dog. But the plot is not the best part of this movie. It's the action. The fights are incredible, as well as the gun play. Willem plays a former associate to Keanu-he used to give Keanu his assignments, back before he retired and Adrianne plays a fellow assassin, that wants in on the action. It's rated "R" for violence, language and drug use and has a running time of 1 hour & 36 minutes. I really enjoyed this one and would buy it on Blu-Ray.
