I watched this poo poo last night and I'm still getting over all the headshots. My body and mind want more headshots, and I don't think any other movie is gonna give them to me in the same way.

Best gunplay since Way of the Gun

Everything was pretty great, it stands out for its gun play and inclusion of actors who were in the Wire. My only gripe was how easy Theon gave him the beat down, even though he was actually a badass. Favorite scene is probably the entire night club sequence.

The beatdown at the beginning? Even the most badass hitman cannot handle a baseball bat bonk to the back of the head.

Also the whole organisation with the hotel and the secret golden murder coins is awesome and hilarious.

No love for John Wick having to reload in the middle of shooting up a night club? Marking the first time we see an action hero not having unlimited bullets?

For shame.

No I get it and my opinion is basically wrong. I just thought it was wild how he was this really badass dude living in this big house and considering his background didn't have like ADT and poo poo.

I like that someone with actual firearms training apparently taught him and he retained some of it for the role. He shouldn't be looking at his piece while he inserts the mag though. :colbert:

It was a fun pointless action movie. It was funny when it needed to be, almost certainly didn't take itself seriously, and was quite over the top. did anyone else notice his jersey license plates, and the fact that he was pumping his own gas at the station?

I already saw dredd the raid and ong bak, also the raid 2: korengal. People mentioning Woo itt, should I watch Hard Boiled?

hell yeah. it has more setup then john wick though but it has one of the longest and best continuous action scenes ever

Keanu Reeves did like 90% of his own stunts, and trained everyday for hours for 4 months in shooting, martial arts, and driving to make the scenes credible.

Keanu Reeves is also 50 years old.

It is a good film.

John Wick and the Raid are some of the beSt action movies in years. Amother cool one is Purge Anarchy which is beautiful looking.

Edit: Dredd too.

Similar to Dredd it had pretty weak ad campaign but the actual movie will knock your socks off.

Also lolling at Alfie Allen getting typecast as wimpy incompetent villain.

Except for two action scenes (Wick's home and the nightclub) the movie was pretty dull, and the whole last 45 minutes or so were obviously phoned in. After the first two ridiculously well choreographed shootouts, you kinda expect the climactic gun battle to be more than cuts between squibs exploding on surprised-looking mook's heads accompanied by the sound of shots. I love totally mindless action movies as long as they have good action. John Wick didn't. John Wick sucked.

Predator is the best pure action movie ever. All you need to know is that the baddest dudes are in the rainforest and they need to get to the chopper. I don't care what the op says, they don't make them like that anymore
