The film’s lens language, screen editing, and action design are excellent, but the biggest failure lies in the plot-the retired killer John played by Keanu was robbed by the eldest son of the Russian gang, and the puppy of his late wife was killed ( The only hope in life), and then re-emerged and killed the gangsters.
Revenge without peeing in the whole film is fast, but such a killing with a single purpose without any actual connotation and value sublimation will only make people feel tired and forget about it. And from the beginning to the end of the film, there is no villain who can fight against John in a practical sense, so the film is also discounted a lot.
The person setting about John Wick is very interesting-a killer who lives incognito, but has a terrifying past existence like an iceberg on the sea. Especially when the gang boss portrayed John at the beginning of the film, there is no picture, but it shows the horror of John's character to the fullest. People will be scared to pee. He is indifferent to anything that strikes, but he is extremely obsessed with any goal. This should be a more appropriate definition of John’s personality. Naturally, the road to revenge shown by John’s personality looks like buying. The dishes are equally calm (the other party has no room for bargaining).
Is Keanu suitable for the role of John Wick? I don’t particularly agree with him. In the movie, he is carefully aware of his skills in weapon warfare and close combat, which are designed to be fierce and fierce by the action director, but when he looks at people, his eyes always show no trace of the coldness and fierceness that a killer should have. How to put it... it is a very pure look. Seeing that look, you will feel as if you have seen Neo who accompanies Trinity in the Matrix, or the detective Constantine walking through the world and hell. , It was a purely melancholy, melancholic, shy, absent-minded gaze. This type of gaze is set on the killer, and it always feels so out of place. Especially when John returns to the Continental Hotel of the Shadow Killer in the movie and talks with the black front desk, the latter's majestic and unpredictable hidden behind the smiley face and eyes are always in sharp contrast to Keanu's shyness. However, this may be the charm of John played by Keanu-he suddenly arrived, and then he absently collected the prey one by one like a grocery shopping.
