This movie is entertaining and stylish to a fault. Keanu Reeves is awesome and the movie was just so incredible. This is also incredibly violent and bad-ass.

Workmate told me John Wick is like "Shoot them up" kind of movie. That's true but it's a little bit mild. Entertaining and i like their style. Shoot them with nice suits, overall the movie is just so so.

Surprising with its incredible story and dazzling action, while at the same time paying homage to other classic action films, John Wick serves as a brilliant introduction into an interesting and unique universe.

Рецензия на фильм Джон Уик (John Wick)
Жанр: Боевик,Триллер.
Дата выхода: 19 сентября 2014(мир)
Режиссер:Чад Стахелски, Дэвид Литч
Оператор:Джонатан Села
Сценарий:Дерек Кольстад
Художник:Дэн Ли, С.Дж. Симпсон, Люка Моска
Продюссер Бэзил Иваник, Дэвид Литч, Ева Лонгория
Композитор:Тайлер Бейтс, Джоэл Дж. Ричард
Монтаж Элизабет Рональдсдоттир
Смело могу сказат что фильм Джон Уик (John Wick) является одним из лучших боевиков категории Б ( B movie),но к сожалению фильм не сыскал большой популярности у зрителей и остался в тени других более высокобюджетных картин.

Кратко о сюжете.
Джон Уик(кто бы сомневался) мстит русской мафии за убийсттво собачки- прощального подарка его покойной жены..А вот кто, зачем и почему вы пожалуй узнайте из самого фильма,ибо я не хочу спойлерить.

Вот чем мне особенно понравился фильм так это режиссерской и операторской работой.Благодаря Чад Стахелски, Дэвид Литч и Джонатан Села история рассказываемая в фильме не кажется бональной и блеклой. Также отдельного внимания достойны отлично поставленные бои ( чего только стоит сцена на 49 минуте)
Музыка
Да что тут говорить композиции от Tyler Bates & Joel J Richard и Kaleida шикарно подходят к фильму.

Персонажи
Джон Уик-первоклассный, расчетливый наемный убийца, но не лишенный человечности. Могу сказать то что харизма да и просто крутость из него так и прёт.Вообщем то Киану сыграл свою роль на славу
Маркус(Уиллем Дефо)-Улья Дефо сыграл Ульяма Дефо.Ну ладно давайте серьезно).По началу он будет вам казаться скользким типом,но внешнасть обманчева.
Виго Тарасов(Михаэль Нюквист)-самый главныЙ плахой русский поведение которого говорит об одном: "я всего добился сам, а вы тут вообще никто".
Иосиф Тарасов(Альфи Аллен)-папиньки сынок- мажорик,да и просто мгхазь( все как положенно)
Перкинс(Эдрианн Палики)-просто подлая гадина( это я сейчас не про актрису а про персонажа если что).
Итог
В итоге получился добротный,мрачный и самое главное стильный боевик. С клишированными, но от того не менее харизматичными персонажами. В своё оправдание скажу что о фильме я рассказал так мало потому что акцент в нем сделан на экшен составляющую

En conclusión, 'John Wick' cumple con la regla de oro: es brutal y es cojonuda. ¿Qué más necesitamos?.… Expand

Alors le clébard, puis la bagnole, cela ne semble pas porter à conséquence mais il faut voir le contexte évoqué dans le film, éventuellement sujet à dérapage(s), puis une chose en entraînant une autre, une escalade imprévue des évènements... L'occasion en tout cas pour Keanu Reeves de rebondir avec à-propos dans ce rôle peu amène et certainement soupe au lait, ce qui dans le cas d'un tueur professionnel mène à un défilé de macabés... jubilatoire.

Le film démarre un peu trop lentement mais dérape ensuite lourdement dans la violence énervée, alignant les scènes avec un entrain et un rythme très appréciables. Fort bien filmé (ce qui devient incroyablement rare de nos jours) ce John Wick est un divertissement de grande qualité, même si on peut regretter ce sang en images de synthèse (le choix de la facilité !).… Expand

O foco nas coreografias, a importância da cenografia no fator geográfico e sua influencia na fotografia, uma historia simples mas autossuficiente, com a apresentação de uma lore que não tem medo de se preservar, exitando uma auto-explicação genérica e pouco criativa; e um elenco de peso fazem com que essa obra seja um marco para a cultura pop.

Devo também mencionar a direção de arte. A caracterização da "organização de assassinos" tá fantástica, desde o lugar frequentado por eles ao modus operandi. As cores dão uma atmosfera unica, e junto ao figurino demonstram um resultado singular. Keanu Reeves é um mestre em filmes do tipo, e sua experiencia com artes marciais e armamento falam por si só. Willem Dafoe aparece pouco, mas sua presença sempre chama atenção. Michael Nyqvist também faz um bom trabalho.

Sitting through so many cringe-worthy moments and cliches, I just can't for the life of me understand how human memory can be so dull, people can see these exact same scenes we've all seen for the past 20 years and think - 'this is groundbreaking'. Wick really reminded me of Ben Stiller's Scorcher in 'Tropic Thunder' ("The man who made a difference 5 times before is about to make a difference again, but this time it's different" ). So I guess we haven't seen the last of these... 2 stars for introducing me to that awesome Kaleida song played in the shoot shoot bang gang scene in the club.… Expand

This movie is not just your typical generic action movie where your main character is an assassin given a task by someone, instead it's about a retired assassin that must go back to his old life after travesty strikes him. The pacing is surprisingly brilliant as it starts you off with John Wick injured and you don't understand how he got there, but it's abundantly clear at that point he's not a super solider who can withstand everything, he's still a human at the end of the day and that's what makes you care about him throughout the entire movie since you worry and fear for his life when there are DOZENS of bad guys in this film. Speaking of the bad guys, these main villains are technically noobs but the reason you'll start to care about them is that they commit a horrible act to the main character of all people and that in return helps you start to root for John to take down the bad guys and when he does, I'm glad it's a "kill him, get out of there", there's really no reason to delay their deaths and I'm glad the directors understood that. Speaking of killing, the gun fighting and techniques Keanu Reeves uses to take down his opponents are surprisingly good and are more focused and smart and you can really feel it with how the camera moves. The characters are surprisingly memorable with each of their individual actions and motivations and helps out in more variety in the film. Now that being said, it's all not happy news with how this movie reuses plenty of enemies with no stronger ones later on and it does drag down the experience when you have to watch John kill basically the same leveled enemies over and over again. In the end though, this film is amazing and is certainly a film I'd love to re-watch in the distant future with how good it is and I can't wait to see what the sequels have in store.… Expand

John Wick

Stahelski's action trilogy is every fan boy's wet dream. He clearly ought to be one of them to justify and glorify the characters like such on screen. His old productive textbook methods are testament to why it works and we nod so effervescently in his every possible scenario even though it raises questions every now and then. This people pleasing entertainment has one and only one reason to communicate it so thoroughly and its tendency to lean towards the mythological aspect of the characters. Despite of being dipped into a pragmatic mafia world, it makes sure that there is one key to every lock, one moon and one sun that shines over these surprisingly loyal and professional businessmen. On that note, the amiability of it to grasp that theme and beam us back to our childhood days, Stahelski is successful in his work.

In fact, personally, I feel the lead to be eerily similar to the comic character He-Man. He too has a pet animal and is incredibly feared by his enemies, something that Stahelski has got it right on the mark. The build up of his presence on a room or even a mention of his that makes others writhe on the spot, is so precious for this storytelling to move forward, that Stahelski has made its priority and with Reaves- a smart casting choice since he already has such a reputation- on the realm, he can sleep peacefully.

And yes, it is for every man himself, Reeves never turns off the switch, he oozes power, chic panache and flamboyancy in his body language to own the surrounding, the car, the gun and the hype. The entire movie hangs on a single moment, that it is built towards, a moment where finally Reeves accepts his fate and claims the title that everyone has been giving him- something that you would encounter in a mythology- and that of course because of brilliant execution is one of the best shot scene.

Stahelski coming from a stunt department, the action leaves you in an awe of it, from imputing humor and bedazzling moments in this gore visual galore of his, the camera work is purely stupendous. And this is probably the only reason why it aches you to encounter a disappointing final act, since the choreography is neither clean nor is it shot perfectly enough to give even a vague idea to map around one's mind. The supporting characters are balanced and well bred, with antics that are derived from their equations, Dafoe, Palicki and Nyqvist stands out alone for their lethal-ness.

Stahelski's theme resonates more like Goddard- the creator of Marvel's Daredevil- than it does with Wachowski Brothers which is surprising since he came from that background. Another appealing aspect of it is the cleanliness, its huge neat production set and props that makes you want to pick up the gun and shoot out wild. John Wick is not pushing any boundary in cinematic world, it respects and accepts its place and delivers the best knockout there is.… Expand

Rewatching the first one after all this time, John Wick isn't as badass here as he is in later entries. He survives a lot because the antagonist don't simply kill him or because his friend saves him. It also ends weirdly with a one on one fight with an old man.

Nevertheless, it is still a terrific action movie with memorable action sequences such as the house and the club shoot-out. Keanu was also a great casting choice!

This should be a template for how to make a great action movie!… Expand

John Wick might feel like a typical action film to some. But the main characters and the whole criminal world they live in makes it much more interesting that what we're used to seeing in the genre.

I just don't understand why I don't like it that much, it's basically made for me, it has fast and sick action, good pacing, and Keanu Reeves as the lead, but I just can't bring myself to love it.

Какой то чел все заруинил, тут и начинается собственно фильм, экшен перестрелки, дальше нас знакомят с некоторыми персонажами, друзья (даже у убийцы могут быть друзья), знакомые. Потом был момент, который когда один персонаж поступил очень глупо, и сам Джон это говорит, а потом в 3 по моему фильме, сам совершает эту глупость, забавно.
Фильм представляется собой экшен боевик, и это неплохо, сцены на высоте и все реально, на периодически напоминают, что Уик тоже человек, и получает травмы, и еще пару сцен где его чуть ли не убивают, если бы не обстоятельства.
Так же чуть тема семьи проскальзывает, ибо потерять все из-за ошибки родственника родного, прям сильно, но и ничего не делать, тоже не выход, совесть замучает, и тут можно понять и главного злодея.
Итог: Хороший боевик категории B, что я понял посмотрев фильм, что месть блюда которое подают холодным, животные невиноваты.… Expand

Believe it or not, a lot ofIn what is now a legacy intellectual property, thanks to breathtaking and premiere fighting sequences, “John Wick” is the first installment in a series of action movies revolving around a retired hitman done wrong. Believe it or not, a lot of thought has gone into the construction of this tale of atonement; everything from setting up value, leaving key details ambiguous, and a very astute script; one which absolutely adds weight to the esteem of the titular character. “John Wick” is not your average shoot-em-up, and it’s no surprise that the series has continued success. Direction of “John Wick” has wisely been kept in the capable hands of Chad Stahelski, and its future may very well hinge on it. Producers sticking their crooked noses into development of Hollywood material is nothing new, but in the case of this series, Basil Iwanyk and his peers either know better or do so discretely. Derek Kolstad was already a successful screenwriter before this film, and his talent is notable. In the script: when a policeman comes knocking on Wick’s door and notices commotion, your typical, horrible, Hollywood screenwriter would have had the man get involved immediately. A decent writer, instead, would have had the officer simply offer help. Kolstad goes beyond any typical thinking and has the policeman recognize Wick and immediately bow out! The absolute brilliance of this take cannot be understated, as writing this simple moment cements in the viewer the depth of respect Wick has achieved in his profession. Similarly, when Aurelio, at the car shop, notices something is wrong, he doesn’t reveal the details of the issue to Iosef Tarasov; any average writer would be itching to splurge all the minutiae to the audience immediately. Kolstad, instead, withholds information, enriching his characters and deepening the value of the screenplay. A host of colorful characters, sudden twists and turns in the story and all the trappings of flawless Hollywood combine to make “John Wick” an American action classic.… Expand

John Wick is something special. It takes as much time setting up elaborate action sequences as it does the world with which it all takes place in. And what a world it is. It reminds me of Millers Crossing and it is cooler than any otherJohn Wick is something special. It takes as much time setting up elaborate action sequences as it does the world with which it all takes place in. And what a world it is. It reminds me of Millers Crossing and it is cooler than any other recent attempt at noir. We are shown a criminal underworld where, if you are connected, many powerful people know who you are and show you respect. John Wick was connected but he got out. He is the rare killer who has found peace, and he is grateful for that peace. Some young kids steal that from him and he does what he does best, he wages a one man war against the Russian Mafia. It might sound like the film takes quite a leap but it all makes sense. The motives of John and the people who get in the way of his bullets are all very clear, even if it does come across as rather simple. That's the plot at it's most basic. Then there's the action. The film is directed by Reeve's stuntman from The Matrix, so this guy knows action. There are sequences that flow so smoothly it puts other action films and their quick cuts to shame. Keaunu moves so fluidly throughout the film and comes across as such a natural that the only disappointment is that we have not seen him like this before. Along the way are plenty of character actors, fans of The Matrix and The Wire will recognize a few people then there are more obvious ones like Ian McShane and Willem Dafoe. Everyone seems to be having a good time. That is another plus for this movie. It get's dark at times but overall it is quite fun, not very chipper, but fun. I cannot recommend this movie enough. I believe it is a must see for action fans and for anyone looking for something a bit different from the usual fare :)… Expand
