While grieving for his deceased wife, Iosef Tarasov (son of Viggo Tarasov; a mobster leader) attacks him to steal his car and murder his newly acquired puppy. Trapped in his moment of grief, he sets out to get revenge against Iosef Tarasov. In doing so, he returns to his dark past.
This film was directed by Chad Stahelski (and David Leitch). For sequel maniacs, don't worry, this film will come with a sequel. Nothing good remains a single film anymore. The story actively creates a unique world of assassins, and keeps the main character mysterious. The story offers a twist on a familiar return to the past origin story. Although it is humorous that everyone who is anyone knows who he is, except for one dumb kid. In many ways, it kind of feels that this story should not have happened, but it did. The weak plot is mended through its fast paced short-em up action. (Head shots everywhere) This film took a lot of influences from various actions films-including impressive one liners. The cinematography and the backdrop offers a stylish perspective for the film that makes it stand out. Keanu Reeves stared as John Wick. This was a great action film that allowed him to make his great come-back. He was great at creating the bad-ass anti-hero, but could've done better to pull off the emotions that drove him back to slaughter. Alfie Allen played the role of Iosef Tarasov. This character is the driving force of the plot, but is nothing else. He barely stands out from the rest of the cast. Michael Nyqvist played the role of Viggo Tarasov. He was a villain that you often felt sympathetic for.
I give this film 4 out of 5 stars! It is a great and stylish action film with a weak story.
This film can be found on DVD.
