And the man wanting to protect his son, tries to take care of Wick but he's still as good as he was

Likes : I really don't see why this film has got some bad review but i can see that the plot is pretty avenge although pretty action pact. When it come to Keanu Reeves film's not alot of people like his films as they can become a little to avenge & not enough excitement but with this film's story-line its not a bad film. The plot is pretty simple where Keanu reeves plays a former hit-man john wick they call the bogeyman a very dangerous person who had retired until one stupid event from a mobster son cause's a series of event to become out of control this is where this film take on this non-stop action of revenge this give this film its edge.
 This is EXACTLY what you want out of an action film. It is briskly paced, brilliantly shot and meticulously choreographed and keeps you wanting more and more. The supporting cast filled with the likes of John Legiuzamo, Ian McShane, and Willen Dafoe also keeps this film interesting
 along with Adrianne Palicki who seem to be play a assassin for hire play a brief cameo role with an interesting twist, although some scene at the begin will upset you as it dose contain a very upsetting scene, but as the film progress this film start to take on a very gritty dark tone.
If your in to he avenge action film's this is a film i recommend, but i wouldn't expect this film to be all that amazing as the plot of this film is pretty average but the fight scene are well choreographed to keep the flow of the film as a stead pace.

Dislikes : The plot could have been a little better but it not a bad film.

Overall : Geat action scene, average plot, not bad acting. simple revenge film

Rating: 4.5 out of 5 for entertainment / 6.4 out of 10 for concept.
