John Wick Reviews

Ultimately, “John Wick” is a testament to the fact that plots don’t matter; it’s how stories are told that actually does. The film knows precisely what kind of movie it is: one that kicks serious ass and provides moviegoers a fantastic time out.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Jul 9, 2024

John Wick is pure TNT and without a doubt, Keanu Reeves' best movie since The Matrix (1999). [Full review in Spanish]

| Original Score: 9/10 | Jul 1, 2024

Unrefined, stilted, and rough in places, the film’s leanness and coherent action can’t make up for the fact that Keanu Reeves is close to wooden and doesn’t offer much as an actor.

Another aspect of John Wick that is worthy of note is its world-building. Written by Derek Kolstad, the story is full of little details that leave us wondering about this uncanny universe.

| Original Score: 7/10 | Jan 29, 2024

The action is undeniably exciting and unconventional, but what really drives the picture is the emotional weight of the story and Reeves' morose performance.

| Original Score: 5/5 | Sep 20, 2023

As you would expect from former stunt coordinators, the action scenes are dynamic and that might be enough, but the emotional thread that motivates Chapter One is exceptionally constructed, justifying much of the rage and murder.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Apr 2, 2023

Even with the CGI taken out, the trade of po-faced filler for action righteousness is still in effect.

| Jan 24, 2023

It’s definitely a movie made for a particular audience, and if wall-to-wall action and stylized violence isn’t your cup of tea, neither is “John Wick”.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Aug 22, 2022

For all of its familiar plot elements, the movie knows when to step back, let Keanu do his thing, and watch the impressive fight and gunplay choreography throughout.

| Original Score: 3/4 | Jul 18, 2022

The directors find new ways to stage and frame these deadly encounters in a way that constantly feels fresh and exciting.

| Original Score: B+ | Aug 10, 2021

The original John Wick showed beloved icon Keanu Reeves still had plenty of action in him post-Matrix.

| Jul 28, 2021

Wick is so tough he doesn't bother to take off his blood-soaked shirt when he starts his quest for vengeance and the movie is just as uncompromising.

| Original Score: 3.5/5 | Feb 2, 2021

Rock music, cold stares, and plenty of bullets emphasize Wick's proficiency, as the plot needs all the help it can get to impart the coolness it desperately wants to exhibit.

| Original Score: 4/10 | Dec 4, 2020

For a dour narrative about death, loss, and violence, it's surprisingly good natured.

| Original Score: A | Jul 7, 2020

Just when i thought that Keanu Reeves had retired from the action genre, he appears back and in revenge mode with the amazing John Wick. [Full review in Spanish]

| Original Score: 7/10 | Jun 26, 2020

John Wick is the slick, empty, cruel hero the age of Trump deserves - but hey, at least he likes dogs!

| Nov 22, 2019

Occasionally ridiculous, it is action-packed, stylish and a return to form for Mr Reeves.

| Original Score: 3.5/5 | Nov 19, 2019

The script defines an amazing microcosm that surrounds the profession of the protagonist. [Full Review in Spanish]

| Aug 29, 2019

Simply put, John Wick is probably one of the best action movies in a decade. From an efficient story to incredible fight sequences and an action start that just doesn't seem to quite, John Wick is as close to perfect as I've ever seen.

| Original Score: 9/10 | Aug 7, 2019

Directed by long-time stuntmen David Leitch and Chad Stahelski, it is exactly the sort of movie you would expect from long-time stuntmen: brutal, close-up fighting, nearly nonstop gunplay and the slightest story legally allowed.

| Original Score: B | Jul 30, 2019
