prompter: How about a negative one?

prompter: Alright, now turn it around and write a negative review.

prompter: make another one

assistant: John Wick shoots everyone. Hair is great. The end :)

prompter: That's certainly interesting, haha! I'd like a few more sentences, though.

assistant: John Wick has a very simple revenge story. It can be summarized as "Keanu gets angry and shoots bad guys" but what makes it special? It's directed by Chad Stahelski who's a stunt specialist, and boy does it show. The main selling point of the film is the real virtuoso action sequences with well made choreographies. Unlike today's action movies, it doesn't use quick-cuts or shaky cameras actually see what's going on. 8/10

prompter: "Hair is great" isn't relevant to the movie, could you replace that sentence with something else?

assistant: John Wick is an action film with video game type shooting scenes but a somewhat barmy plotting. Keanu Reeves makes it watchable despite the script.

John Wick is newly widowed and his late wife gifted him a puppy which has been killed by the wayward son of a Russian mobster who has also stolen his car. However it is soon revealed that Wick is an ace hit-man and now he is back to get revenge and get his car back.

This means various shooting and fight scenes. Wick is the man who the mob would call to kill the boogeyman. Yet we have scenes where minnows are easily dispensed with but the alpha male somehow survives.

There is a female hit-woman out to get Wick and somehow he leaves her alone to cause further mischief. The Russian Mobster whose son Wick wants to kill is also let go by him when you would have thought it would had been better to shoot him fast.

It is entertaining schlock, the plot is full of holes. Reeves acting is not stretched, he is required to be mean and moody, say a few words and do a lot of shooting. 5/10
