After John Wick's car is stolen and dog murdered by Russian gangsters who apparently can run amok in the United States. Wick seeks revenge which means he shoots lots of people.
This film strikes me as a fairly mediocre action film that somehow did OK at the box office and got decent reviews, go figure.
Apparently no one remembers John Woo's classic Hong Kong films The Killer and Hard Boiled because John Wick is basically those films. I can assure you the director of John Wick remembers those films because he definitely stages a lot of the shoot em up scenes in the style of those Woo films.
For all the beatings and blood spilling the film is curiously uninvolving. It's hard to care about these nonexistent characters.
101 minutes.
