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

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.

Observer (UK)

An almost zen-like exercise in wholesale slaughter as abstraction.

Rated: 3/5

Irish Times

Emotions matter little. Story matters less. Morals don't register at all. But the rhythm of the killing creates its own irresistible machine music.

Rated: 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.

Rated: 4/5

John Wick is pure TNT and without a doubt, Keanu Reeves' best movie since The Matrix (1999). [Full review in Spanish]

Rated: 9/10

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.

Steve in PA

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.
