If it weren't for Keanu, I wouldn't want to give it 2 stars. The story lines are all good, but the details are too rough.

The level of gunfights and hand-to-hand combat is really not enough! A comparison with Mission Impossible or Hong Kong Johnnie To can feel the difference.

The cannon fodder didn't react fast enough. I thought they were hit by Keanu's Spiritual Sense attack, and their reactions were half a second slower, maybe they could meet the level of foreigners.

It would be better if the close-up shots and details of the other supporting roles could be enriched, just like in Infernal Affairs, not to mention the dual protagonists Andy Lau and Tony Leung, other supporting roles such as Zeng Zhiwei, Du Wenze, Huang Qiusheng, Chen Huilin, Edison Chen, Shawn Yue and other supporting roles are very memorable. .

John Wick quotes

  • Viggo Tarasov: [calling John Wick on the telephone] Hello, John.

    [John says nothing]

    Viggo Tarasov: I heard about your wife, and I'm sorry. My condolences. It's, uh, seems to be fate, or happenstance, or just bad fuckin' luck caused our paths to cross once again.

    [John says nothing]

    Viggo Tarasov: John?

    [John says nothing]

    Viggo Tarasov: Let us not resort to our baser instincts and handle this like civilized men to move on...

    [John hangs up mid-sentence; Viggo puts down his phone in a resigned manner]

    Avi: What'd he say?

    Viggo Tarasov: [pause] Enough.

    Avi: [quietly] Oh, God.

    Viggo Tarasov: Task your crew.

    Avi: H-how, how many?

    Viggo Tarasov: How many do you have?

  • Winston: Have you thought this through? I mean, chewed down to the bone? You got out once. You dip so much as a pinky back into this pond... you may well find something reaches out... and drags you back into its depths.
