| John Wick Promotional Poster - Lionsgate |
John Wick is the 2014 action film directed by Chad Stahelski. It follows the story of John Wick (Keanu Reeves) an ex-hitman, who goes out of retirement to track down the gangsters who killed his dog.
The premise of the movie sounds pretty ridiculous but that’s
the intention of the film. It doesn’t take itself too seriously and it is
really an homage to B action movies from the 90s. It is full of stylish
fighting, stereotypical villains and a clichéd story arc.
The director does a good job creating this ‘underground’
world within which the movie takes place and it is enough to keep you hooked
until the end. The soundtrack is very reminiscent of old action movies.

Overall, the movie offers a mindless, fun experience. If you
go into the movie you have to switch your brain off and suspend your disbelief
in order to enjoy it as it’s intended to be enjoyed.
