John Wick

John Wick

Rating 7.5 out of 10

The ladies have movies that lean toward their tastes more than they do for us guys.  The love stories with lots of hand holding and staring into each others eyes.  Then there is movies like John Wick clearly aimed toward the dudes.  This movie is like a big piece of steak on a plate with no veggies.

John Wick (Keanu Reeves) at on point was the best hit man in the business.  He finds the woman of his life and is able to walk away.  Several years later his lovely wife passes away from Cancer.  In his grieving period he locks horns with the son of one of the big Russian mobsters.  The son messes with the wrong guy.  Body counts are high.  That's pretty much all you need to know.  This is a 96 minute roller coaster ride of bullets and things that go boom.

This movie is similar to the better Denzel Washington movie The Equalizer released last month with less plot to get in the way.  There are even some of the same actors playing Russian mob bad guys.  I liked both movies alot.

As I have said with John Wick you get what you pay for.  It's entertaining.
