This has been a long and cold few days here in Pennsylvania
and I definitely had a fun time with it being my birthday week. With that, I
decided to take a few days off and kick back and relax., although, now I do
have a small backlog to add to the page in the coming days. Next up for review
is the 2014 action flick John Wick.
Plot/ An ex-hitman comes out of retirement to track down the
gangsters that took everything from him.
Every once in a while, I need some mindless action and this
one definitely hit the spot. Yes, there were a ton of clichéd moments, uneven
performances, it is very unbelievable, and the characters were flat, but that
was not what this movie was about. This one was about over-the-top action
scenes, a crazy amount of blood and violence, and an incredibly powerful message
about loss and revenge; something that many people in society should be able to
easily relate to. In the end, this one is an entertaining action flick that
definitely brought the best out of Keanu Reeves. If you like mindless action
and can accept the inherent flaws in that type of flick, this one is for you.
Give it a shot.
