John Wick

Yes, it's the age old action tale of a former hit man going for revenge, but it is refreshing in it's execution for an American film. Those who appreciate Asian action and martial arts films and the way that this genre of action is shot and stylishly choreographed, will give a much deserved nod to John Wick.  At the director's helm, are David Leitch and Chad Stahelski, whose background as stunt guys including work on The Matrix films, really injected a lot of umph into the film.  So with that said, Keanu Reeves is back in fine form racking up bodies, blowing up shit, and looking very cool doing it.  After all, Reeves has been away for a while insofar as action, so playing a former hitman out for revenge was just right for him. With the look and feel of a modern day crime noir with it's own set of rules, including homages to Hong Kong style notables like John Woo, John Wick is off to a great start with a sequel already in the works.
