John Wick

Reeves (The Matrix) use to be a feared hitman for a local Russian mob. He fell in love (Moynahan from Blue Bloods) who later dies. She leaves him a puppy so he can love something. A young man and his gang take a fancy to Wick's classic car and decide to take it. During the robbery the gang kills Wick's dog. Leguzamo (Carlito's Way) runs a chop shop. The kid brings the car in and Leguzamo hits the kid. Nyqvist (The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo) the kids father and the Russian mob boss calls Leguzamo and discovers that his idiot son (Allen from Game of Thrones) has killed the dog and stolen the car of the mobs most feared hitman. He prepares for the massacre that will ensue. Reeves is amazing - the martial arts has really paid off. He is graceful and smooth. The action scenes in this a simply amazing. The are art - they are beautiful! Dafoe (Platoon) plays a friend of Reeves. Winters (OZ) plays assistant to the mob boss. McShane (Deadwood) plays a hotel owner - a hotel that is neutral ground and if you break the house rules he has you killed. A lot of HBO former actors appear in this. All in all, I say: RENT IT
