Adil Mohammedkutty, Dubai, John Wick, Keanu Reeves, Movie, Review
The critically praised action movie John Wick starring Keanu Reeves was released in the GCC on 30th October 2014 with a 15+ rating from the UAE censor board.
THE STORY
A retired assassin, John Wick, grieving his wife’s death receives a dog via courier , send by his wife. A spoiled son of a Russian gangster kills this dog and steals his Mustang. John Wick turns to his old assassin methods to seek revenge.
THE GOOD
- Realistic action scenes
- Nicely presented
- Nice BGM
THE BAD
- Simple story line
THE UGLY
- There’s nothing much in the movie (Is it just me?)
I was very excited about this movie, cause it received a 100% fresh rating in rottentomatoes.com from the critics and I really like Keanu Reeves (even though he holds a blank expression through out the movie). I thought it would be a different kind of action movie (like The Matrix except for the story ofcourse). But in the end it is just an ordinary action movie. But having said that I would like to see a prequel to this movie (There are hints of a prequel story). Watch it for the realistic action scenes.
