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

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.

Collider

Another aspect of John Wick that is worthy of note is its world-building. Written by Derek Kolstad, the story is full of little details that leave us wondering about this uncanny universe.

Rated: 7/10

The Wolfman Cometh

The action is undeniably exciting and unconventional, but what really drives the picture is the emotional weight of the story and Reeves' morose performance.

Rated: 5/5

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.

Rated 4 out of 5 stars

There were some parts that I found to be a bit cheesy but I still enjoyed it! Don't get me wrong I still think it's a solid movie all the way around but this wasn't exactly great or awesome!

Pretty sure John Wick would demand 6 stars. Disappointed that’s not an option.

Mayhem throws ya for a loop. Also, watch out for the guy who lost his penis in Game of Thrones… the ol’ reek himself. Either way- excellent flick starring that one guy from the river’s edge who was outshined by Crispin Glover.

Imagínate que un parguela ruso te mata al perrito pero eres Chuck Norris y matas a todo el mundo. Debatiblemente la mejor de la saga
