Do you want to see 90 minutes of Keanu Reeves half-growling his lines and busting out headshots on a whole bunch of fools? Yes, yes, you do. This movie does nothing original - except perhaps not having Reeves bang the hot female assassin trying to kill him - but it does everything really well. It's slick, it's fast-paced, it has some humor and Reeves is fantastic in this. The bad guys are a bunch of cliches (Russian bad guys who smoke with the youngish son who's a totally entitled douchebag listening to obnoxious rap music) mixed with the "Mayhem" guy from car insurance commercials but you don't care. They mess with Keanu's dog and he makes them pay. And it all just...works. So ignore the flaws, dream of a world where John Wick kidnaps Liam Neeson's daughter or something, and enjoy this movie. It's a lot of fun. 9/10.
