John Wick ( 2014 )
A perfect High octane action flick right from the start packed with powerful casting in this movie. Keanu Reeves was a best choice for such a storyline playing himself as a Ex-hit-man Contract killer where a unwritten history and fear follows his name called John Wick. Every single time i hear his name John , it gets me a nostalgic feel of watching Constantine instead but here the only change is that the Cross replaced by Guns. They way he clears of people with his gun was like watching a video game but definitely was clear perfect shot every single time. Unlike his previous action flicks like Street Kings or Matrix , here he is kind of slow and tactful for may be age is playing a factor here.
With
Keanu takes a front row seat , he is well supported by other perfect
players like Michael Nyqvist ( known for The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo
) , Alfie Allen ( Theon Greyjoy in Game of thrones ) , Willem Dafoe (
Known for Spiderman 3 or Antichrist ) , Toby Leonard Moore ( Known for
Underbelly TV Series ) and Ian McShane ( Known for Pirates of the
Caribbean: On Stranger Tides ). So with all these characters added up to
this revenge based action movie , it just cant get any better then
this. Screenplay was so perfect and runs like a flash till the end with
edge of seat moments everywhere. Though the ending was bit on a slower
side but yet the way the gangs work and operate makes us understand why
it was framed like that. But the major success factor after Reeves is
that the dialogues used throughout the film which are just goosebumps
and fills us with pleasure of watching such a film. few are like....
" Its not what you did son that angers me ..but its whom you did it too..."After recent movie Equalizer , i enjoyed this film a lot and felt it as a genuine action flick after a long time that too from matrix starer. This is one of engaging movie not to be missed by action movie freaks who just need action but not too much of melodrama to it. Enjoy watching it.
"John wasn't exactly the boogeyman. He's the one you sent to kill the fucking boogeyman. "
"People keep asking if I'm back and I haven't really had an answer, but yeah, I'm thinking I'm back. "
"John will come for you and you will do nothing, because you can't do nothing. "
