John Wick - BadAss-ness

John Wick

This film kicks ass… It is like ‘The Raid’ meets Kingsman and a whole bunch of your favourite action films combined. However this may trigger alarms for some, WARNING: YOU ARE ABOUT TO SEE A GENERIC ACTION FILM. PREPARE FOR GUNS, HAND TO HAND FIGHTS, CAR CHASES AND A SUPER HOT UNDER DEVELOPED FEMALE CHARACTER…  And in many ways this film would need a similar warning. But it doesn’t.

This film is fun; action packed and has an almost self-aware nature. It means that however absurd you think this film’s plot is, it knows you know. The entire film is based on the events of a wife dies, leaves a dog to help the grieving process, this dog is then killed after bonding has taken place…. This all happens to John Wick (Keanu Reeves) who in a past life was the most determined assassin known to mankind. This parody of tragedy meets revenge is what makes it so enjoyable. You want this bad ass looking MoFo just to kill and kill and find the main bad guy and kill him… This is all based on a cute dogs death….

Keanu is as dead eyed as ever but somehow as ‘moving’ as ever. But what I really want to mention is the hotel in the film. The hotel is question is very unique and had such style and humour that left me wanting a prequel or sequel just about its day to day running.

Don’t go into this film wanting some ground breaking action or something emotion that makes it all worthwhile… You won’t get that, if you like The Raid or Kingsman or just like something that you can much popcorn to, then this is that film, go see.


do widzenia (goodbye for those non Polish speaking readers…I'm not Polish but thought it’d be different)
