Ex-hitman John Wick comes out of retirement to track down the gangsters that took everything from him.
What critics thought
Critics embraced John Wick as a lean, expertly choreographed action film elevated by Keanu Reeves's stoic physicality and a genuinely intriguing criminal underworld mythology — though most acknowledged the script itself is thin, predictable, and self-serious. The main fault line in reviews runs between those who found Reeves's deadpan charisma magnetic and mythic, and those who felt it only works when the film gives him humor to play against, which this one largely refuses to do.
“Reeves's deadpan style could only work when contrasted with humorous dialogue”
Peter Bradshaw·The Guardian
“the large number of equally impressive action sequences compensated for the weak script”
