What is "John Wick" about? According to IMDb, the action flick is about "an ex-hitman comes out of retirement to track down the gangsters that took everything from him."
This early, David Sims of The Atlantic gave his fearless assumption that the movie has what it takes to be a cult classic.
Here's what he had to say about the movie:
"John Wick is a movie you should see at midnight, with a screaming audience in attendance cheering for every preposterous action beat, every out-of-nowhere shriek from embattled mob boss Viggo Tarasov (Michael Nyqvist) and every frustrated request by his consigliore Avi (Dean Winters) that he speak English. Either that, or you should see it almost by random happenstance, with no preparation for what's about to unfold, and marvel that such a strange film made it to the screen. John Wick is no ordinary Hollywood action claptrap, but it's not exactly aiming for profundity either. It achieves an almost impossible goal-being a basically plotless action/revenge drama but seeming utterly distinct all the same."
And what exactly makes "John Wick" full movie stand out?
"The coolest thing about it really is the violence. Whether Wick is taking out people at a thudding nightclub, a rain-drenched dock, or a neon-lit bathhouse, everything is presented with a crispness lacking from most lazily cut shaky-cam action movies these days. And there's the refreshing, oddball sense of humor, down to the world-building and Nyqvist's engagingly big performance," Sims added.
