Maybe if my week had been more enjoyable or the other movies I've seen had been better I would've rated this lower; It's pretty formulaic and Keanu is passable at best. Still, it has the supporting cast of my dreams and delivers exactly what I needed: straight-up entertaining (silly) badassery. Now I'm actually kinda pumped for a sequel where Reeves takes on psychotic face-transplanted assassin Nic Cage on an island. Name it John Wick//er Man. Hollywood, please hire me. I got ideas.

It's grade-A schlock and it has no pretensions of being more, so major props for that. Also major points for the stuntwork, but it loses those points back for the lame digital blood effects. And the dialogue is so stupid that it circles back around to being great satire -- John Wick is like Poochie; every second he's not onscreen, the other characters are asking "where's John Wick?" This movie's biggest flaw is that John Wick needed to be louder, angrier and have access to a time machine.

This really suits Reeves; he looks like a natural in the well-choreographed fight scenes, and he delivers his brief dialogue effectively. The action itself works well, eschewing the quick edits and tricks so commonplace now for longer takes and shots to capture the violence (a la The Raid). It's shot with no little style, somewhere between a comic book and a computer game, and it works. There's a great supporting cast as well. Some superior mindless (but knowing) escapism. Fun.

All you need to know is that everyone that John Wick kills, which is well over fifty, gets shot in the head. And that's not to say that he kills everyone by shooting them in the head. But whether they're alive or dead, they get shot in the head regardless.

This is a revenge thriller where the protagonist is avenging the death of his dog. That alone makes it worth watching, but there's a lot more. John Wick is a movie both fun and funny, despite the subject matter. Keanu's performance isn't just action movie good, it's legitimately good. The ensemble cast loves chewing the fat in their various roles. Most importantly, however, the film's action is choreographed, executed and framed expertly, often in inventive or hilarious ways. Great flick.

I thought this was good. John Wick uses a pretty been-there-done-that plot, but it feels different with its slick action and gunplay and solid directing. I give credit to Keanu Reeves for doing a pretty good job as the title character. It's just a really solid revenge movie. A total surprise for me. I would say it's worth a viewing or two to see Keanu in what is probably his performance (and movie) in a long, long time. And for the fighting of course.

This dog-avenging boogeyman assassin was exactly the character that The Babadook was lacking. Directed by veteran stuntmen, John Wick benefits from a mastery of inertia but often feels like it's just going through the motions. It's refreshingly straightforward in its execution, but ultimately insubstantial. It knows its strengths and tries nothing else.

The movie's greatest achievement is its creation of a logical world-within-a-world, of hit(wo)men and codes and propriety, that holds even when it spreads its credulity thin. I also think it's the first film in years where I saw a real, honest-to-God, non-CGI punch thrown and landed in the same shot.

5 stages of grief: headshot, headshot, headshot, a glass of bourbon, headshot. deserve's got everythin' to do with it. too modern by half of course, its vibe resembling the mindset of the flashy playboy villain more than keanu's titular post-TAKEN hero, and while reasonably well choreographed throughout the only scene that really had me on a sensory level was in the nightclub. liked it more for the little comic details and line readings and shameless mythologising. also i'm a dog person so

Embraces cliches to great effect. The directors, former stuntmen, have conviction enough in their considerable skills with action choreography to strip the film down to its essentials. A guy kills a bunch of guys because they killed his dog. What more do you need? This film shatters whatever the previous record was for "most headshots in a movie."

How did I sleep on this for so long? A group of Russian gangsters pick on a retired hitman, stealing his car and killing his dog, setting off a hilariously over the top string of revenge murders. The acting is pretty bad, and the characters nothing more than the basest of archetypes with zero development, but the action is phenomenal. Fast, fluid and vicious gun-fu fights that made me both laugh and cringe in sympathetic pain in equal doses. Bring on Chapter 2.

Somebody finally discovered the correlation between the number of lines Keanu Reves has in a movie and the movie's quality. Our protagonist is allowed to quietly and efficiently kick ass while we watch like blood-starved voyeurs. Film-making at its finest like a Whopper is flame-broiling at its finest. You secretly enjoy every minute if it, and really don't care that there's a good chance the burger's been generously garnished with the body fluid of a disgruntled teenager on Ritalin.

I now know why John Wick managed to kill that many. You see, he was taking cover between shootouts when the others were not! Hits you when you get it. My initial thought was it was because of that unintelligible Russian-like language Nyqvist and his mob were speaking. I'd say if you speak English better, stick with it - easier to communicate with your own folk! And then they killed his dog. Just wait for the sequel when some Spanish cleaners step on his cockroaches. You ain't seen nothing yet.

Unlike The Raid 2 which punched far above its weight, John Wick knows exactly what it is and has fun with it. The obsession with 80s throwbacks is growing increasingly tiresome, but Stahleski gets it just right. There are some unsatisfying moments, considering the buildup they're given, but this is the best action movie since Dredd. I just hope they don't turn it into a Taken-esque franchise.

Definitely not your run-of-the-mill action flick. If you can deal with the fact that they work really hard (ALMOST too much, but luckily it comes back around) in the screenplay to get across that "John Wick is a bad motherfucker", you'll completely enjoy watching John Wick be... well... a bad motherfucker! It's a throwback with a modern spin, it's retro but it's new, and it sets up such an interesting universe that could realistically produce more. You're gonna have fun with this one, trust me.

Although the fight scenes - obviously the result of hardworking actors & stuntmen instead of editors - are staged for an all-too-rare clarity & visceral impact, & the writer thankfully, doesn't take the much-too-familiar template of stoic-badass-forced-out-of-retirement too seriously, this is still overrated. Working with genre boilerplate this tired so straightforwardly requires alot more cleverness and at least some surprises to really soar.

Above average action blast that relenquishes any potential it has beyond the fulfillment of its adolescent power fantasy of unmeasurable awesomeness. Its crazy characters, flashy style & worldbuilding seem hollow & wasteful even in this context but it has a clarity & sincerity of purpose I welcome. It's adorable that the directors are primarily stunt guys & everyone seemed to enjoy just running with that. I endorse this with a slight worry that the other side of John Woo's crazy gets discarded.

Simple but solid revenge flick. The ridiculously melodramatic opening scenes setting up the carnage tell you this is a film that doesn't take itself too seriously, so you're free to sit back and enjoy the extremely well-shot and choreographed action scenes. It's not The Raid, but it's closer to it than anything else Hollywood has churned out recently. Scores bonus points for actually including action in an action movie rather than filling the screen with CGI cars and explosions.

Some guys kill Keanu's puppy, so Keanu decides to bring down the apocalypse in one thrilling, audience-pleasing action sequence after another. I loved it. The audience loved it.

solid throwback action film where a singleminded superhuman hero just straight up kills all the bad guys. a nice slow burn before it explodes into a visceral killfest with nearly every kill being a shot to the head. plenty of knowing humor throughout, especially in the build up of wick as THE BOOGEYMAN WHO KILLS BOOGEYMEN. it plays its camp factor to full effect, since taking itself too seriously would have been a fatal flaw. it was the film i hoped it would be, but hadnt expected it to be.

At its core it's a simple revenge story, but it's so well put together that that's all it needs to be. The fight choreography and gunfights are as well done as anything in recent memory, and the performances are great all around. The mythology of hitmen that they created here is so well thought out and interesting that I'm really hoping to see another movie set in this world.

John Wick may have been the most fun I've had at the movies this year. It's possible that this was an example of going in with very low expectations and just being blown away, but even if that's the case I can honestly say I really enjoyed the movie. The action is excellent, somewhat creative, and the dialogue is hilarious. There are some heartfelt moments, and Reeves' poor acting doesn't detract from it too much because of his sparse dialogue. Only real gripe was the choice of subtitle font

A former enforcer for the Russian mob (Keanu Reeves), recently widowed, loses his dog and car in one horrible moment, and in seeking his revenge leaves many (many, many) bodies in his wake. B-movie craziness, boosted by a wry sense of humor (suggesting a rather elaborate, even refined, underground society of criminals) and Leitch and Stahelski's vigorous direction. It's a long way from substantial, and may not stick long in the memory, but it's thoroughly entertaining in the meantime.

If you're looking for a tense, exciting action movie then it'll be hard to find better this year. This is a well-shot, thrilling movie with great stunt work and genuinely incredible action sequences. It isn't merely just John Wick shooting baddies, it is John Wick shooting baddies in some of the most awesome ways. Instantly pulls you in by pulling on the love that a lot of humans naturally have for pets, but isn't cheap. It's actually touching.

John Wick is a very enjoyable action movie. It has wonderful action scenes that are filled with flair and are choreographed and performed wonderfully by the cast. It's surprisingly funny, too, and contains some impressive world-building, which is a nice added touch. John isn't a deep character, and Keanu Reeves acting is hit-or-miss, but he certainly does well with the action scenes. This is a dark and exhilarating action movie, and if you're a fan of action, this is one to see.

John Wick isn't all that unique, it boils down to a typical revenge flick with some messed up circumstances. However, it's execution is hard to beat. It's graphic and entertaining action sequences are ridiculously entertaining, major props to the cinematography and editing crews for making it as fluid as it is. John Wick does a good job of hiding Keanu's flaws all while making a very solid movie that has so far aged really well amongst film fans in this 1st entry of the franchise.

Stylish as all hell, but its stripped-down nature ends up working against it. The characters are so thin they're forgettable, the action is clear but too repetitive, and there's not enough emotional glue in general. Weak first and third acts. The mythology of the assassins ends up being the most memorable part, probably because it's the only part expanded on in any depth. Fun with some drinks, nothing more.

"John Wick" is like an American John Woo movie with a surfer dude as an ex-hitman from some strange secret society of criminals where there are weird rules and people get paid in gold coins. There's a lot of mythology packed into this for a mindless shoot-em-up, which is probably why it was such a hit.

John Wick is action flick that succeeds in getting the tone, the atmosphere, and most importantly the action, right. While the plot is rather simple...idiots kill man's dog, man turns out to be John Wick and then goes on a rampage seeking revenge...it establishes its world of assassins-with-a-code quite well, and almost feels like fantasy. The rest is just gun fights, knife slashing and punch-outs, and it is glorious.

Full disclosure: I am a Keanu Reeves fan and that is pretty much the reason I wanted to see this. With that said, there is nothing substantially different in this movie than thousands of others 'ex-hitman turned normal guy turning hitman again' movie. What is different however, is style. This is a visually engaging movie, with slick action sequences and appropriate music. The hyperbole of non-reality is a definite drag though. All in all, just for entertainment. Extra 5 marks for coolness.

A little disappointing. As you can see from the score, I still liked it, but I felt like the setup was a lot better than the payoff; after the first two major action setpieces (Wick's house and the nightclub, both awesome) it loses some momentum and gets a little muddled, relying too heavily on generic long-range shootouts instead of the intricately choreographed grappling and throwing that made those earlier scenes so cool. Like Dredd it's a quality action movie that's not as good as I'd heard.

John Wick is one of the funnest action films I've seen in years. It's great to finally see Keanu Reeves back in action films and commendably he commits himself to the majority of the stunt work, driving & fight sequences. The practicality of the action sequences blew me away and the incredible gungfu shoot outs in particular are masterfully choreographed and shot in camera. And the cinematography, lighting, characters and world that has been created is heightened and enjoyably melodramatic.

I loved the premise of this film - Keanu Reaves murders lots of people, because they killed his puppy - just how cool this sounds?! My enthusiasm for the movie faded fast, because action scenes were just not that well made, Marilyn Manson songs kept playing on the soundtrack, and things like 'hitman hotel' didn't help the plot at all. All the bad guys spoke very broken russian, which was translated with annoyingly silly colorful subtitles all over the screen.

Would Keanu Reeves be famous if his name was Dave Smith? Some of the worst acting you'll ever see, you can actually see him mouthing other people's lines so he knows when to speak at times. The plot makes no sense and Willem Dafoe's character motivations change randomly at one point and they don't explain why. Despite it's ungodly amount of flaws it's still just a dumb, cheesy, fun action flick with some hilarious lines. Also, how many movies can say they have Luigi punching Theon Greyjoy?

John Wick synthesizes a wide range of tropes to make a constantly engaging, escapist action movie. It also has a wicked sense of humor, style, & fashion. The screenplay takes a wounded existentialist hero dealing with grief & uses that premise to launch a quest. A quest that doubles as a roaring rampage of revenge with tons of gun fu! I have a minor complaint with the dumb villain near the end, but that's about my only complaint. This is as good as Keanu has ever been & highly recommended.

Pretty solid overall. Well shot, but the story went nowhere. About on par with The Equalizer and The Prince for me. I don't really understand why this movie is hyped up as being better than, or even different from the average modern action movie, because for me this is the prototype of an average modern action movie.

Oh, hell yeah, this owns. Rising above the standard issues of a lot of American made action movies, John Wick is a stylish revenge flick that absolutely blew me away. The story is nothing special, but this is a blast to watch. Every scene is just oozing style, and bold color and sound make the movie come to life. This honestly has some of the best gunplay I've ever seen in a movie. The world the movie creates in interesting, and it is populated with intriguing characters.

A fun stylized flick in the vein of 90's and aughties action flicks that you don't see that often anymore. In line with those movies, it takes care in detailing a fictional criminal underworld, without being too campy or naïve about it, for the uber-elite criminals; all the while managing to build Reeves's character as an effective unspoken threat, and not a joke trying too hard. Straight to the point and focused aptly describes John Wick, both the character and the movie.

Keanu Reeves has inexplicably and amazingly transcended his bad acting and dorkiness to star in some effective action, suspense films. How he does this, I'm not sure, but in this film he fails. The villain is not menacing formidable, which made me indifferent to the film. OK, action scenes. ps: 65

Never mind, then, that Film Freak Central says "the film sweats cool." 'Cause there's no cinematic pot of gold at the end of this brain-splattered, seven-shades-of-blood-red rainbow. Sometimes a gory, foul-mouthed, Russian-thug-blasting revenge pic is, well, just a gory, foul-mouthed, Russian-thug-blasting revenge pic. (pluggedin.com)

I don't understand what is the big deal about this movie, Reaves is just posing and brooding, there is not much to the story. They went for that Old Boy, Wolverine unstoppable, not to be messed with aura; but couldn't nail it in my opinion. The action is so-so, the whole underground merc-for-hire environment is phony. It did not leave any impression on me; unless there is nothing else to watch I don't think I will see the others.

Easy shots were missed, thus making the movie longer than it needed to be. Also, why did he end up taking the ugly dog when there were several cute ones at the end?

John Wick is a relatively fun (although dark) film, which could’ve been great. The story and characters are relatively unimportant, which is a shame. If this was a truly unpredictable action-thriller with great characters, this would be a top tier action film. There was practically no suspense once the action started. It’s well done action, but with little variance. Overall it’s a decent time if you just want to see Keanu Reeves shoot people. I might check out the sequels if free.

A generic, enjoyable action movie. Don't think this will be a masterpiece, cause it's not. What it does have is Keanu being awesome, and has a cool OST. Goddamn, Le Castle Vania - John Wick Medley is just a beast of a song and way too sexy.

Anemic action film marks an unsuccessful attempt to revitalise Reeves' so-so status as an action icon; he is badly miscast here, both out of his depth in the clumsy action scenes and even moreso during the painful moments where he is required to emote. Film teases Dafoe's appearance as a rival assassin by causing us to imagine what a better film this would be if the two men switched roles! A base level of illogicality in the set-up sinks this before it even begins - they killed his dawg?? Blech.

I was expecting more from John Wick. I had heard so many good things, but it disappointed a bit. The action is the high point of the movie, and it teases an interesting world. However, a minimal plot and main villains that are only good at running away and making the stupidest choices possible bring the movie down. I mean talking about how a person is the guy you get to kill the bogeyman and then you go take a stick to his hive. That's a poor business and life choice there.

Generally not a fan of action movies but I went for this because of how hyped people are for its action sequences. It's... a *little* better than others, with more gun-fu choreography and less jump cuts, but there's really nothing amazing here, visually. It has a pretty generic setting/cinematography to boot.
