John Wick's wife just died and some badass-punk-wannabe took something from him (John's car) and killed the poor puppy, he just received as a gift from his dead wife.
Unfortunately, those punks left him (John Wick) alive. Little do they know, they just messed with the wrong guy at the wrong time. As expected. revenge followed.
My take on the movie:
1. Mababaw lang akong tao. Yes, I liked the movie. Typical revenge-thriller-action kind of movie but this time, it's starring Keanu Reeves. He was a hitman with a different feel. It was something new for me since I haven't seen Keanu in any intense action movie like this one.
2. As expected though, even if this movie is a deep-action movie with all the hunting and gun firing, you wouldn't really see Keanu in an extreme fighting moves. Some scenes were blah. You know in the movie that everybody knows John Wick and most of them are even afraid of him. They were not eager to fight him but since duty calls, they just got to do it. So you'd have this impression that he's so freakin' good. But yeah, too good to be true. Punches and kicks were too weak for his character. It's like, he's good with guns but never with martial arts part. Just like what he is in Matrix, I guess. Those punches and kicks thrown were very limited. Expected but still disappointed.
3. There was no standard plot, just revenge. Then for a moment there, you'd thought, everything's finished but another story is to begin again, still a revenge though.
4. If you're looking for a story with necessary outcome, this movie ain't for you. If you're looking for a fun-action with a touch or pinch of brutality, then this is a good movie choice.
I really had fun watching John Wick. Despite some slight dismay, still two-thumbs up for me! And we all gotta love Keanu Reeves right?
