Never kill a man's dog!

This is one of those movies you feel is a game changer in the same way that arrival of Die Hard meant that nobody could make the kind of over produced drivel / superstar vehicle movie they had been making until then... or even the arrival of The Bourne Identity meant that Bond films before this instantly seemed ridiculous and extremely dated... in what people aspire to, or norms by which they this kind of revenge movie.

The thing that this does is simply jettison unnecessary flabby plot, or any attempt to justify itself or what it is doing... it just provides a simple motivation for John wick's actions, which is a basic pretext for the most fantastically violent - yet beautifully choreographed death fest ever put on screen.

However, there are constant, yet so very subtle subtexts and messages throughout that hint at something deeper, but most of this will go over people's heads... and frankly, that doesn't matter... it's brave in what it does, and honest about it too... but if you like an honest to badness action over-packed gory storm of extreme violence revenge flick, this is the best there is.

(The others aren't bad either!)

You just can't try and tack Shakespeare story lines and dialogue onto revenge movies after this.

Beware the Jabberwock, my son! :erk:

Also, beware the film with five (five!) producers!

Actually, this was quite entertaining. The violence is ridiculous - it plays like a shoot-em-up video game at times - and Keanu rocks his monosyllabic Arnie too much but, still, I will watch the sequel when it appears on DVD.
