JimmyO has posted his review of John Wick for JoBlo. He has given the film a 9/10. Here are some money quotes:
Welcome back Keanu Reeves. In his latest action revenge drama JOHN WICK, the actor gives a full-throttle performance that makes it easy to believe he is completely capable of the hell he takes on.
First time director Chad Stahelskiclearly knows how to create a suspenseful action sequence. Coming from a stunt background, the car chases, the fist fights and the barrage of gunshots fill the screen in an almost operatic way.
And then there is Keanu Reeves. The role of John Wick seems tailor made for the action star. In fact, this may be his best performance to date. He is wonderfully sympathetic, especially when it comes to his relationship with the puppy…
…it was one of the most satisfying American action films that I’ve witnessed in a while.
