This is an action movie that has nothing more to offer than a series of mindless killing scenes. Don't get me wrong I enjoyed the movie and the people I watched it with did too. But the reason we had fun wasn't because of how good the movie was but because of the characters "badassery" and how afraid everyone was of him , so we basically were making fun of the movie most of the time. To be honest this movie works better as an action comedy since it had some funny scenes, that I still don't know if they were meant to be funny or just turned out that way. Now as for the plot of the movie [spoilers] even though I understand the reason as for why john wick wants revenge from the people that killed his dog I still believe that at the end of the film the Russian mafia (or whatever they are ) were in the right . John wicks dog might have been the last gift from his dead wife, but a dogs life compared to all these random thugs , these other assassins and the son of the boss isn't even that important . And I am just defending them because john wick isn't some good guy either. Just from these two evils John Wick was the one who went too far while the main "villain" of our story wanted to just protect his stupid son. Maybe I am just thinking too much into it though since this movie isn't based on plot but action and the whole dog killing was just the way for the writers to explain his motivations ( that still seem ridiculous to me to some extend ). All this aside if you just want to watch a movie to relax at some evening after a hard day that doesn't need much attention then I definitely recommend this one.
