John Wick

Keanu Reeves

Simple-minded, preposterous revenge actioner that was so well done it largely worked if you were successful in completely stopping your brain from thinking during play.

KR put a lot into this performance and, by god, he pulled it off. He had quite a range of physical/emotional moments to achieve and, moment by moment he succeeded. The stunts were well shot; the whole thing was paced, framed, lit and shot beautifully.

This would have been better watched with a raucous audience but even in the quiet confines of my living room it worked for me in spite of my best judgement.
