Keanu Reeves is an actor who's had a very interesting career with many ups and downs. He donned the famous name of "Neo" in the Matrix series as well as playing the exorcist in the film Constantine but as much he's been successful in his career, he's been very unsuccessful. As his career seemed to be in a large drought, in 2014 a film was released titled John Wick that stars Keanu Reeves as a cold blooded assassin who is dragged back into the business after his ex-colleagues rob him of his car and kill his dog in cold blood. This is a hard revenge story of a man who left the contract killing business in order to lead a normal life with his wife but when she dies and everything else is taken from him, John WIck has no choice but to get back into the game and right his wrongs.
The all star cast of this film consists of not only Keanu Reeves but also Willem Dafoe, Ian McShane, Michael Nyqvist and Alfie Allen. The chemistry between the director Chad Stahelski and the cinematographer Dan Laustsen makes for a gorgeous and visually stunning film that is a breath of fresh air for not only all films, but specifically the action genre. The pallet of the filter used over the film consists of many shades of blue that allow for a cool feel throughout the entire film that sets a nice eerie atmosphere and creates a stunning aesthetic. Jonathan Eusebio is the film's fight choreographer who has worked on choreography for other films such as The Avengers, The Expendables trilogy, 300 and The Bourne Ultimatum and his work is absolutely mind-boggling. John Wick is one of the most realistic and throttling action movies modern cinema has ever seen. Not only does John Wick break the action movie trope of "infinite ammo" but it also a fan or accurate shooting and that comes from Keanu Reeves extensive shooting and combat training for the film. John Wick is a film that changes the way we look at action movies forever and gives us hope for the rest of the R-rated action flicks to come!
