Synopsis:
"An ex-hitman comes out of retirement to track down the gangsters that took everything from him." - IMDB
My Review:
"John Wick" is like an brand new amusement park ride, you're skeptical at first not knowing if it's worth your time; but once you get off of it, you can't wait to get back on! I was completely surprised by how much I loved this movie!
Acting: Keanu Reeves plays the main character John Wick, and boy does he deliver! What a great way for Keanu Reeves to come back to the silver screen! In my opinion, this was his best performance of his career! He did such a terrific with his stunt work here in the movie; so great that once the movie is over you kind of wish you could be a 'John Wick' type of hitman! Though I am not very familiar with the rest of the cast, I feel that they all did a terrific job!
Directing: Chad Stahelski was the director of this movie and he did a great job here! This could've been your typical action B-Movie, but he was able to elevate it into one great action thriller!
Story: The story of this movie is perhaps it's one weak spot. Now what's wrong with the story you say? Well, it's the reason that Wick goes on his revenge rampage. That is of course what Losef Tarasov and his friends do to him at the beginning. I don't want to spoil anything so you'll just have to watch it for yourself. In a way you would think that he is overreacting, but when you put himself in his situation you feel that you would go to the same lengths that he did.
My Conclusion:
If you like action movies, watch "John Wick". If you like Keanu Reeves, watch "John Wick". If you like action movies and Keanu Reeves buy "John Wick". Buy "John Wick" on Blu-Ray because it is really that good. Overall I give "John Wick" an 8 out of 10 stars for its acting, directing, & story! Be sure to check in regularly for more Daily David Movies!
