ACTION thriller John Wick starring Keanu Reeves is making waves in the action genre and is currently screening at BCC Noosa Cinemas.
John Wick was a successful mob hit man who after falling in love with a woman quit his life of organised crime.
Five years later, his wife dies but to make sure Wick’s not alone she arranged for a dog to be brought to him after her death.
One day some unsavoury characters break into Wick’s home with a view to stealing his car, so they beat him up and they kill his new dog.
The experience sends Wick into a silent rage and he resurfaces his past in a bid to track down those responsible and like most hit man films “make them pay”.
Wick learns the leader is the son of his former employer, Viggo.
Viggo then sends some to take care of Wick but he’s too good. He then sets out to find Viggo’s son while Viggo puts a price on Wick’s head.
Although somewhat predictable in its plot, Wick is a sleek production with heavy emphasis on the action scenes.
Fans of the mobster hit man films are sure to enjoy this one as Hollywood continues to churn out similar titles such as The Equalizer and The November Man.
John Wick has received 8/10 on IMDB and 85 per cent out of 100 per cent on Rotten Tomatoes.
