Lets go back to basics

Rating: 5/10 (5 June 2017)

(1)John Wick is known as the ghost, the boogeyman and other words but nothing of this sort has been shown in this movie. I haven't seen one scene in this movie that merits any of those titles. they are just a myth as far as i have seen. For reference check out the boat scene in Bourne Identity when he was shot by Wambosi after he failed to kill a man with kids on his laps. that's a ghost. even for killing Neski. that's a ghost. John wick is an earthquake and not a nerve gas..... (2) the movie has trivial scenes that have no bearing. the chasing of the biker in the street just to get his KEY CARD, the getting back of his car just to wreck it, the beating up of gang members just to ask for peace? bull. the blowing up of his house just to lure him in, come on, his obligation to the continental rules were enough, why the duplication. (3) Come on, a car thief broke into Johns house and beat him to a pulp and Santino almost killed him when he blew up his house. Its that easy to kill John. (4) When Santino asks John Wick to kill his sister he tells him that he needs a ghost. Sorry Santino, wrong guy. in his preparation for the job John lets the whole world know of his plans. talk about discretion and being a ghost. John wick is so brainless that he shoots an almost dead woman with a gun which doesn't have a silencer....hmm mm. Oh, here is the punchline. ..then the famous John wick decides to use the front door for his exit. heheheheheheh. (5)so John and Cassian (common) are professionals so why does Cassian take it personal and going after John instead of Santino. (6)So john and Cassian face off and there is a Mexican stand off without Cassian knowing whom John was there to kill. (7) John and Cassian fight is superb. great scene (8)After John completes his Santino given mission a bounty is placed on his head. with his reputation where even cops had given him the license to kill i didn't expect anyone in new York to take the job. but hey, no one is scared of him anymore. (9)what the hell was Lawrence fishburne doing in the movie, trying to give him the red pill? come on. overall if wanna watch John Wick for the story line and espionage skills you will be disappointed. watch it instead for it great action scenes, Johns dedication and good performance from Common. I would watch John wick a hundred times because its brought back the fighting that isn't so computerized and is fresh and eye catching but being a PROFESSIONAL i would be a man without taste to rate it anything above 5.
