John Wick (2015) review

Taking a break from my daredevil binge I managed to see the action film John wick which has just come out in the UK and this film is definitely worth talking about because it is brilliant.

The premise of this film sees an ex hit man John wick who has lost his wife and everything special to him go after the men and teach them a lesson.

Now I have never been a huge keannu Reaves fan as an actor, I think he was good in the matrix but not much else. But he was perfect in the role of John wick, he was a total badass in this film with him nailing more headshots then anybody in any other film ever made. He was also great in all the emotional scenes that he had to do and it made you care about John wick and want him to succeed in his mission.

The villain in the film Michael nyqvist is really good in this film and played an interesting villain who again felt like an interesting character in this film and by the end you really hate the guy. Willem Dafoe is in the film and even though he isn't in the film that much he is a great actor and he makes the role work so you care about his character. Adrianne pallicki is one of my favourite actresses at the moment, she is probably the most interesting character on agents of shield and she was great in this film. She was deadly, sexy and a force to be reckoned with and her performance was great. The only character I had a slight problem with was the villains son he was just really damn annoying and I get it that he was meant to be but it doesn't mean I had to like the character.

If you described the premise to somebody they would probably laugh at you but I gotta say for this film it really works and really hits at your heart strings and then gets you pumped for the action. Also allot of the story ideas revolving the rules was really interesting and a unique thing for this film.

The script was great, yes some od it was a little cheesy but it just all worked for this film and that was probably because of keannus delivery.

The style was fantastic, this is probably some of the best action I have sever seen. Just all the action scenes hit like a tonne of bricks and you are glued to the screen as you see him totally decimate these bad guys. Also I love the world building in this film and there are specific things in this film that they can really explore in future films which I hope there are.

Overall I think John wick is one of the best action films ever and I would truly advise you to see it.
