Like if Damien Chazelle had studied murder in college instead of jazz.

Keanu murdering dudes in the name of justice for his puppy is the purest cinema of the 21st century.
Review by Todd Gaines ★★★★ 115

This review may contain spoilers. I can handle the truth.

Keanu Reeves as John Wick, a grieving widower who finds comfort in a sweet puppy dog named Daisy. The comfort is short lived when a gang of thugs makes the worst mistake of their lives. The mistake? They killed the wrong badass motherfucker's dog. That critical error wakes up the sleeping killing machine inside of John Wick and he goes all Point Break Speed Matrix on the Russian Mafia and everyone else that's in his way in this action packed bullet flying adrenaline rush flick that reminds the world that Keanu Reeves is still around and he's as awesomely awesome as ever. Waves. Blood. Rain. Black umbrellas. Willem Dafoe has that "you don't won't to fuck with me" look. I…

What do you write about a film that is exactly what it is, without pretense?
Not too much:
- Wick is slick.
- Reeves has almost no lines.
- ^ this is a good thing.
- Reeves is 50 years old.
- ^ WTF?
- John Wick is the best comic book adaptation of something that was never a comic book.
- Wick's Bitch.
- ^ sadface
- John Wick is the best video game adaptation of something that was never a video game.
- ^ Apparently John Wick will become a playable character in Payday 2. Rumours say that motion capturing Reeves' face was the cheapest job ever.
- 15 minutes less and this would have been just about…

Keanu Grieves
Review by davidehrlich ★★★ 5

Turns out that all you need to make a movie is a John Wick and a dog (and you don't even need the dog for that long).
the first half is grand. funny, patient, with slick & unique action. stylishly accomplishes a bit of world-building in there, too.
the 2nd half is a slog, as it turns out there are only so many times you can watch keanu reeves flip someone over his shoulder and shoot them in the head.
the moral of the story: maybe *don't* kill john wick's dog?

🎶3 am, Mustang speedin'
two russians, headed for a dead end
hell yeah, that’s right: he stabbed
a pencil through three bad guys
hollerin' over pistols whippin’
wick’s after vengeance against Theon
won’t quit, tonight, slayin’ in the moonlight
every john is just the same
i’m sick of their city games
i crave a real wild man
i’m strung out on JOHN WICK
daisy, they’ll all diiiiie
JOHN WICK
daisy, let’s kill guuuuuys
JOHN WICK🎶

The greatest piece of character-building (and world-building) in John Wick is an expression. A simple one, but an expression all the same. A moment where, after stabbing a security guard upright through the chin/neck with a knife, John Wick ruthlessly stares into the man's eyes as he dies, the phantasm reverberating from his aura, being sure that he was the last person he'd ever see. It embodies both the reason why the world is so startled by his reappearance, and why he's infamous in the first place. A lingering specter of the underworld, out for sensation and finality and nothing more. An Action Classic.

Keanu Reeves really puts the Wick in Wicked with this Incredible role as John Wick in the titular movie John Wick. It is such an intense movie and John Wick has become such an Iconic Character in such little time. Appearing in FORTNITE BATTLE ROYALE😎😎😎, John wick is already a staple in Pop Culture. I fully recommend this movie, so grab some Popcorn, a lil swig of Lemonade and get ready to be amazed by the first installment in the John Wick series.

Review by Oliver ★★★½

If Collateral, James Bond, and the action of the Matrix had a hollow, kind of empty, batshit crazy offspring.
I loved it anyways.
There are so many obvious flaws that can be picked apart. The antagonists are Russian stereotypes who love money and crime. If you thought Point Break had bad writing, then you’ll find John Wick to be a frustrating script that’s essentially just one-liner after one-liner. The pathos is poignant at the beginning, but (nearly) completely lost at the end. The cinematography is standard, dark, sometimes great but mostly ugly. The story is a cookie-cutter and pretty standard revenge thriller with an assassin at the center. Keanu Reeves, despite our unconditional love and years of experience, still acts with his usual…
Review by Karelle ★★★

C'était vraiment pas le plan de soirée au départ, mais c'était le mood de mon amoureux, et comme je n'avais pas d'objection, entre No Country For Old Men et John Wick, j'ai choisi ce dernier. C'était correct, bien ludique, et ça m'a permis de parler de et de penser à Maria et à son Keanuthon, faque ça c'est toujours un plus.

Daisy is the most boring dogs name.
Review by Noah_Berberich ★★★★

I really loved this movie from start to finish the way that it is action packed and always leaves me on the edge of my seat. My favorite part of the movie was just how skilled John is and how scared everyone is of him. Overall it’s a great movie and I would recommend to anyone who loves action packed movies.

If anyone deserves to get shot in the face for hurting a dog it’s Theon Greyjoy.
Review by SpicySmith12 ★★★★

John Wick is a perfect example of how to make a straightforward action movie consistently entertaining. Keanu Reeves does a great job in the role, and his struggle as a man stripped of the last thing he loved is powerful. Its gunfights are well choreographed, with the rave scene in particular really standing out. A little more plot would have been nice, but the film's straightforward structure gives it a flowing feeling of momentum. There is also some very nice world-building in relation to a sort of underground, hitman based subculture. In conclusion, John Wick is a pretty perfectly made classic "man vs waves of endless dudes" type action movie, and is a refreshing modern action classic in an era of brainless series like "The Fast and the Furious," etc. Willem Dafoe is a Chad, all my homies love Willem Dafoe.
