Didn't see a thread for this film, so I thought i'd post one
John Wick is an 2014 American action thriller film directed by David Leitch and Chad Stahelski and written by Derek Kolstad. The film stars Keanu Reeves in the title role.
Couple of trailers
A throw back to amazing action movies, this one was great from start to finish. Enough plot to be acceptable, amazing action sequences, surprisingly good cinematography, passable acting, and enough intentional humor to be enjoyable. They add in enough intentional awkward humor to keep it lively. When I saw my showing, the crowd was cheering throughout. It hasn't gotten a lot of hype but honestly it's a really quality watch. Currently 86% on rotten tomatoes and 8.5 or so on IMBD
Great movie. The characters, gun fights, gun-fu, cinematography (especially the night club scene), creation of the crime underworld, and acting performance was great all around. I really hope it's not another Edge of Tomorrow situation, where a good movie ends up not making a lot of money it deserves. This could potentially be a great new franchise.
I really liked the cutting and camera work (relatively little shaking and fast cut close-ups in fights). The story is silly but definitely not as bad as Taken, also less retarded acting (Maggie Grace was unbearable). It's a pretty decent action film, definitely better than most "turn off your brain" films.
