Last night I finally got around to watching John Wick.
Having done so, I think the title to the post pretty much says it all. The movie's really the action/shooter equivalent to a Fred Astaire movie from the 1930s: the plot is merely a mechanism to move between the dance sequences.
Instead of dancing The Continental, we get to see Keanu Reeves twirling around and killing everyone who gets in his way. It's "Begin the Beguine" meets The Matrix.
With some popcorn and a cocktail, a nice way to spend a couple of hours.
