This is a welcome surprise. Who would have thought Keanu could play such a cool character with that much conviction? He does a perfect job here, displaying the right attitude and making sure every shot hits its target. It's all very simple. He's a grieving widower, and one arrogant and spoiled jerk comes and messes with him. By doing so, Wick is forced out of retirement because someone has decided to ruin his late wife's legacy.
First of all, if you don't like violent, revenge driven crime dramas, this movie is not for you, so don't post about it. If you are like 80% of the rest of the world, you are going to LOVE this movie. Slick editing and direction make it beautiful to watch. Incredible choreography make it fun, and Keanu makes it real!
I am not a big Reeves fan but you do not have to be to enjoy this film. Unique fight scenes and a talented supporting cast made this film a treat. This is a film to enjoy on the big screen. Music selection also made various scenes more enjoyable. Just a well groomed picture with a load energy and smart dialog. You will not be disappointed.
It's definitely a B action movie, but it's unique ,simple, and well done. Reeves is a silent force of nature who really brings a lot of sympathy during his period of loss and when he lets loose on the bad guys it is glorious. Amazing choreographer . The ending is very anti-climactic which hurt the movie a bit considering the energy on display beforehand.
I love how people say 'Keanu is back" because of this movie. and yeah he did a really good job. Even though I think it's still the same character as his other characters. And IMO the script is just the same as another action movie. same movie, different casts. lol
My rating 7.5/10
IMDB : 8/10
Metacritics 67%
Rotten tomatoes : 86%
