If you saw John Wick 1 and 2, what I am about to say will not come as a surprise: this movie is over two hours of killing. The killing is not creative, is relentless, and rather boring. Keanu Reeves reprises his role as John Wick, a kind of international assassin, who works for a shady and ambiguous group called The High Table. He gets in trouble, is stripped of the group’s protection and finds himself with a $14,000,000 bounty on his head. It seems there are potential bounty hunters everywhere and they all come after John Wick. Little do these would-be assassins know; John Wick has plot armor. No matter how many bullets are fired at him, they almost all miss! When he does get hit or stabbed, he stitches or patches it up, shrugs it off, and continues on unhindered. Luckily for John Wick, he is such a sharpshooter he kills literally hundreds of people without missing a shot! And he apparently took the advice of Tallahassee and Columbus from “Zombieland” to heart, as he double taps everyone – at a minimum! Of course, he uses more than guns. John is trained in martial arts and gets to show his expertise, especially against Zero ( Mark Dacasco) who is excited to get to fight, and hopefully kill, his hero! Do not worry, John Wick prevails through all. Ian McShane, Laurence Fishburn and Halle Berry all lend a hand. I found the whole thing bloody and silly. I am sure John Wick has lots of fans, but I just can’t recommend this movie unless you plan on being an international assassin and are looking for a few tips.
