@JacobSHall: JOHN WICK is bonkers. Keanu is great. Action is outstanding. The world building (!) is fascinating. It's the best action movie of 2014.

it's not a documentary about what life was like in the past.

Thanks...?

...just off the subject line alone...thx...

Get your fucking brother in line.. stay fucking up.

I only remember a shitty actor and mediocre action performances. I mean the great thing about an action vehicle is that it doesn't require the finest acting skills. But then you've gotta believe him right. Don't know if I can suspend belief that Keanu is the baddest assassin ever for 2 hours. Shit I still haven't seen perhaps his best action portrayal (that one he produced where he's the villain) because I just couldn't convince myself to believe him all the way to the end.

Don't mind my hate though.

He also directed a hell of a martial arts film in Man of Tai Chi.

He knows how to pick action films that are well-made and action films that have a role perfectly suited for his limitations as an actor.

His cold demeanor is absolutely perfect for creating the mythology this character carries with him.

it could be awesome. I think we'll check it out.

Local theatre had a free screening and I checked it out. Not too bad, kind of on the same level as the Equalizer in my opinion...at least in terms of the revenge and action aspect.

We used to make jokes in high school about shooting niggas in the face. And we'd laugh cause it so ridiculous.

Here, John is constantly shooting niggas in the face using Gun-Fu.

And every single Gun-Fu movie in existence has sucked. Now we have one that's so ill.

And the supporting cast is vast and excellent.

The movie knows exactly what is and never tries to be something that it's not. And I appreciate that.

My wife and I are definitely seeing it this weekend.

http://www.rottentomatoes.com/m/john_wick/

I'd go on Friday if I could.

All I need to say.

Is he really back?

Maybe his best movie since then too.

I'd say Street Kings as well but that film is in my genre wheelhouse while John Wick wasn't.

yeah, i'm thinking he's back.

but should be worth the wait. im pretty effin excited.

V.

I guess I should have lowered my expectations. This isn't an ultra violent b-movie that will cross over. There's no real creativity to it. I was hoping for The Raid or Taken but there was little more than some solid silly dialogue and John Wick walking into a place and shooting and fighting people and then heading somewhere else to do the exact same thing. It's for people who enjoy seeing people shot in the head from close range and straight-forward martial arts. Unfortunately, I'm not one of those people.

Of course, if you're into straight forward b-movie grade shoot 'em ups, have at it and ignore this post.

That home invasion scene was fucking dope, perfect way to set the tone of all the ass kicking in this movie.

Then the club scene comes shortly after and doesn't let up at all...I was digging the intense action with the backdrop of whatever soft music was playing in the basement. Definitely gonna check for that on the soundtrack.

One of my favorite parts was when Perkins got her hotel card revoked for breaking the rules....I started to get worried there for a second that the plot was gonna get too convoluted with her and Dafoe running around with all the other mayhem (no pun intended) going on, but they settled that down pretty nicely.

Boogeyman.

don't fuck with john wick

Although off the top of my head, Ice Cube in 22 Jump Street probably got the biggest laughs from me.

The whole theater (And it was packed on a Sunday Night at 7pm) erupted with laughter when he said that. That was some good isht.

It was my brother, my nephew, and I. My nephew being 14, this is one of those movies that as 14 yr old you remember seeing and how fucking fun it was

don't know if this counts as a spoiler but it's Payback meets The Raid. two awesome movies.

Random thing I loved - the air strip hanger worker who let's john drive his car around the air strip was reading "Shibumi" -LOVE THAT NOVEL!...lol

I thought it said Shogun but you're more lilely correct.

and I hate to be that guy complaining about that kind of shit, but the movie had a great look and feel, but the music was str8 up 80s cinemax action flick

of the club when Wick Dogg was shooting and stabbing up the place. "Think" by Kaleida. I usually like the contrast of action/violence with a softer song in the background, kinda reminded me of that scene in Spring Breakers when they were fucking people up during that Britney Spears song.

The score wasn't that bad to me I just wish they didn't use that goofy looking text for the Russian translations. If that's my only gripe about it - it's not a bad movie.

Hella cartoonish.

>and I hate to be that guy complaining about that kind of
>shit, but the movie had a great look and feel, but the music
>was str8 up 80s cinemax action flick

If you like ultra violent shoot em up joints. I'm thinking I'm back. Spoilers..


They didn't have to kill the puppy though, that was just wrong.
Shit happens

The Russian mafia has had a bitch of a year.

smoke a few grams and i was wide-eyed for the majority of it. really enjoyed the established world to which he returns. the amount of privelege he has at his disposal was amazing. and of course the ENDLESS.HEADSHOT-HEAVY.KILLING. holy crap.

and goddamn them for making that puppy so fucking cute. i hate i knew the premise of the flick before going in, cos i knew that moment was gonna come pretty early on, and im a dog-owner myself and a 'dog person', so seein that shit was just...man. even w/out the emotional connection i would lost my shit. espesh if i was....*dramatic pause*: JOHN.WICK. lol.

even the moments that shoulda been cheesy were somehow...not?

This shit had GTA written all over it. I've always wanted to see a GTA movie made and this is probably the closest we'll ever see, both style and content wise. I kept waiting for an Ammunation store to pop up somewhere, or some completely absurd radio commercial to come on.

I'm betting we get a sequel because there was some nice, subtle world building here that sort of demands further exposition. It stands on it's own but once he hit the Wet Work Hotel I wanted to know more about everything and everyone in the movie.

This felt like Payback, Kill Bill, GTA, Shoot 'Em Up, and Guy Ritchie (think Rock N Rolla) had an orgy and somehow tiny elements of all that DNA blended into a very stripped, bare bones baby with a bright future.

All in all this was the biggest and best surprise of the year. Summer was a bummer overall but damn have we had some great action flicks this year.

>It stands on it's own but once he hit the Wet Work
>Hotel I wanted to know more about everything and everyone in
>the movie.

I wanna know more about the "dinner reservations" clean-up company, specifically, are they hiring?

I kept thinking about Max Payne while watching.

This shit was pure bad-ass revenge thriller and it gave no fucks to be anything else. So much fun.

John Wick was so fucking awesome!

Like, what revenge thrillers really NEED to be these days.

Everyone in the cast was pitch perfect and Adrianne Palicki as Ms. Perkins, good lord, someone start putting her in movies (um, whenever the female Expendables happens, she realistically proves she should be included in the cast with her work on John Wick, Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. and the GI Joe sequel (shitty, but she was great in it)

So much fun to watch!!!!

I still think about that.

John Wick (Grade B) is a frontrunner in the 2014 Bliss movie award category of,
You know it's a bad movie but you like it anyway award.

Im mad they didn't release it a bit earlier to compete during a weaker weekend in the summer; it deserves to be seen by more people

shit just does not.let.up.

V.

the gun work was really fucn cool.

gold coins, fly whipes, wire actors, and homegirl from G I Joe who got her ass murked in one of the most original ways I can think of
