How long it has been since we’ve seen a perfect action thriller from a well known actor? I’d say years! And I’m glad that I can now say that John Wick was by far the best action movie of the year which religiously abide by it’s genre. Nevertheless, the story of the movie was a bit silly for it’s own good. After the death of her beloved ill wife Helen, John Wick a retired hitman acquires a reason to get back to his roots and takes out the whole gang who were responsible for worrying his tranquil and peaceful life.

With that being said, there’s nothing more to discuss about the story of the film, it just helped as a supporting component of the movie. I do agree with the fact that it was much more meaningful and agreeable. But while watching this movie, I didn’t really care about the plot of the movie. It was entirely the action sequences which put me on the edge of my seat.

To enlighten the fact that I mentioned earlier, the movie utterly gives us the most memorable action scenes ever put on-screen in recent days. They were masterfully choreographed, skillfully shot and incredibly performed. And to get that three set package was a lot arduous these days. To continue with the technical aspect of the movie, directors David Leitch and Chad Stahelski who worked as stunt men before did a phenomenal job in directing the movie, they completely have knowledge of what they’re doing and delivered it flawlessly. Keanu Reeves did an incredible job with his role and that’s only because of the majestic character that he got in this movie. He had the freedom to comeback, do most of his stunt work during the action seqnences and he also did remarkably well during the emotional scenes. And I’m quite happy to see him back doing great roles, he deserved it.

To conclude, I strongly recommend you to go watch John Wick in theatres, not only because it’s one of the best films of the year but also a very well done action movie which was sleek, stylish and astounding to experience. Do not miss it!

Rating – 3.5/5 | Grade – B+
