John Wick

— Liking this is sort of a guilty pleasure. It’s pretty much what you’d expect when Keanu Reeves, a retired hitman, goes after the guys who killed his dog. This is an all action film with plenty of blood and violence. The fight scenes aren’t a jumpy mess of overly cut footage but nicely choreographed scenes with an interesting attention to the details of things like reloading guns and going in for the kill shot. This movie does a pretty good job of what it’s supposed to do and I like that.
