Good Action Movie

Rating: 7/10 (7 February 2015)

Put your brain on hold and just sit back and relax for an hour and forty five minutes while Keanu Reaves finds a multitude of ways to kill many nasty people. The story is silly, but the action is continuous as Wick is pursued throughout by men and women with bad intentions. He is a karate expert and is also skilled with a variety of knives and firearms which are quite useful to our hero. His background is sketchy and never really explained but one must just suspend belief and just take the ride as if on a roller coaster. Willem Defoe shows up to fill out a decent cast with Reaves carrying most of the load, as he is in almost every scene. It looks good and the New York locations are a good choice. A final 7.5/10.
