What to Know

Critics Consensus

Stylish, thrilling, and giddily kinetic, John Wick serves as a satisfying return to action for Keanu Reeves -- and what looks like it could be the first of a franchise.

Nick Schager The Daily Beast 11/09/2015
If John Wick is the best looking action film in recent memory, it's also bolstered by a phenomenal cast of actors who, be they in parts big or small, manage to craft three-dimensional characters out of stock archetypes. Go to Full Review

3/5
An almost zen-like exercise in wholesale slaughter as abstraction. Go to Full Review
Donald Clarke Irish Times 04/10/2015
4/5
Emotions matter little. Story matters less. Morals don't register at all. But the rhythm of the killing creates its own irresistible machine music. Go to Full Review

4/5
Ultimately, “John Wick” is a testament to the fact that plots don’t matter; it’s how stories are told that actually does. The film knows precisely what kind of movie it is: one that kicks serious ass and provides moviegoers a fantastic time out. Go to Full Review

John Wick is pure TNT and without a doubt, Keanu Reeves' best movie since The Matrix (1999). [Full review in Spanish] Go to Full Review
Akhil Arora AkhilArora.com 05/11/2024
Unrefined, stilted, and rough in places, the film’s leanness and coherent action can’t make up for the fact that Keanu Reeves is close to wooden and doesn’t offer much as an actor. Go to Full Review

Stacie May 25 will rewatch this EVERY DAY OF MY LIFE! See more MBSC Mar 30 Love Keanu Reeves movies! Love the John Wick character! See more Abraham 11/08/2024 Amazing action and very simple storyline to follow. Keanu Reeves was the perfect choice for this role. I recommend 100% See more Steve in PA 04/09/2023 Best action movie with constant intense action. Incredible stunts. Keanu is an actor of few words, and John Wick films are much like Clint Eastwoods Dirty Harry series. Does not disappoint. Goes bigger than the previous three, and theres even a dog that gets plenty of revenge. See more Nitro H. @nitrohive 2d See it’s hard to 3/5 because well some of the speech was corny or just bad, some of the cuts and parts were random but overall I liked the plot, the whole John wick is like the James Bond of this universe is cool and I enjoyed all of the action. See more Thiago B Nov 30 is a blast of pure, disciplined violence. The movie doesn’t waste time with complicated motives — it gives you a man, his grief, and a reason to burn everything in his path. The action is tight and brutally efficient, shot with clarity that puts most modern blockbusters to shame. Keanu Reeves isn’t delivering depth here; he’s delivering presence, and it works. The world-building hints at something bigger without ever distracting from the revenge story at the center. It’s not a perfect film — shallow in places, predictable in others — but when it fires, it hits hard See more Read all reviews
