About this movie

An ex-hitman comes out of retirement to track down the gangsters that took everything from him. With New York City as his bullet-riddled playground, JOHN WICK (Keanu Reeves) is a fresh and stylized take on the "assassin genre".

Ratings and reviews

I've enjoyed lots of "bad" movies, this was not one of them. The makers of this film seemed to be after a sleek and stylish action movie and they were way off the mark. The story is clumsy, the action sequences are extremely fake looking and the dialogue is laughable. Save your money and rent or buy something else.

Like everyone else here alludes to, this is an awesome, straight up action movie. Simple story, great atmosphere/world, beautiful choreography. I wouldn't call it mindless as it takes quite the mind to appreciate what seems to race before you. But that's just me. I bought this movie specifically to add it to my "Action" section.

I am so happy to see Keanu stick to his strengths! Action films are his calling. That and avenging murdered puppies. A reformed hitman goes back to his roots when a group of wannabe gangsters decide to take everything from him after the death of his wife. Heaven help them. His reputation is enough that the seasoned gangsters are terrified of what lengths he will go to exact revenge. A thrilling ride, from start to finish.
