John Wick

This is not a sneak preview. This film has already released.

It's "The Equalizer" meets "Mr. & Mrs. Smith" when a retired Russian mob associate (Keanu Reeves) seeks revenge for a stolen car and dead puppy. This silly shoot 'em up film is action packed with bullets blazing, nifty hand-to-hand combat scenes, hot cars racing about, and a femme fatale. Everyone seems to know John Wick and his reputation except for the idiot mobster's son and his babysitters. The film is ultra-violent with a dark sense of humor to lighten the mood at times. This one man killing machine keeps on mission with a little help from his friends and a peculiar assassins' code. John Wick's sacrifice gives new meaning to the term "keep your enemies closer". Forget a real storyline here because it's just a mindless guilty pleasure trip. John Leguizamo, Willem Dafoe, and Ian McShane are just name draws and have relatively small roles.

Alien gives it 3 "reservation for 12" stars out of 4.
