Total guff

Rating: 2/10 (27 March 2018)

I cannot state with enough force just how awful this film is. I gave it 2 stars rather than 1 purely because it has Lovejoy in it.
Now, you may be thinking "That's a stupid reason to give this awful tripe an extra star"...well, maybe, but after wasting 2 hours of my life watching this I actually feel like I have somehow damaged my brain, it's that bad.
The plot doesn't exist. The choreography is bad. (too many times we see people waiting to be hit and the close range shooting is amateurish in that it shows up the incompetence of both Wick and his assailants).
The repetition is just endless, dragging out this mind-numbing farce way beyond what was needed to convince the audience how bad it is. Action films are great, when they are done well. This is not done well.
The very best I could say is that this film display style over substance. But even the style is hyper-hyperbolic trash, with cliches galore.
That the best scene is the "comedy" one (was it supposed to be funny? It's impossible to tell) where Wick is pretending he is buying guns from a wine sommelier should be all you need to know.
Hopefully mr Wick got shot immediately after the hour was up and someone collected the $14million (and my very grateful, heartfelt thanks), otherwise I fear we may all be at risk of being exposed to yet more of this dross in the future.
Tl;dr - Avoid.
