THE STORY
John Wick
(Keanu Reeves) is a former hit man who leaves the world of crime to be with the
love of his love Helen (Bridget Moynahan) but returns after she is deceased, to
take revenge from some Russian gangsters who messed with him and took
everything away. What follows is a cat and mouse chase where the city of New
York becomes the ultimate battleground for him against Vikko Tarasov (Michael Nyqvist),
the leader of the Russian syndicate.
CRITICAL & TRADE ANALYSIS
The film
released long ago in the States and other countries and was widely appreciated
for its high octane action. The veteran stuntmen duo David Leitch and
Chad Stahelski have made an impressive directorial debut with this revenge
thriller. Keanu Reeves plays the title role brilliantly. Bridget is beautiful
but has a short lived role. Michael Nyqvist is remarkable as the antagonist.
The other cast supports well. Screenplay and dialogues are impressive. Editing
is sharp. Cinematography is very good. Production and technical values are good. The publicity was average.
VERDICT
At
the box office, the film is an average.
