“u003culu003eu003cliu003eHello Mr. Wick. The usual Mr. Wick? – Oh good to see you again Mr. Wick! – Long time no see Mr. Wick! – Troubles John? – Ah Johnny, we missed you!u003c/liu003eu003c/ulu003eu003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eCheers! Where everybody knows your name! Despite the fact that you are …the bogeyman! A mysterious ghost! The man who lurks in the shadows! The man who killed 3 men and 2 dogs with a paper clip (or was it a pen?). A lethal weapon out of this world!u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eI have nothing against Keanu Reeves. Likable actor, good in the matrix, and a modest person in real life as Iu0026#39;m reading. Yet …he doesnu0026#39;t look like the …bogeyman. I can accept a middle-age Steven Segal as the glimmer man, but I just donu0026#39;t see Keanu like that.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eAnd in the (two) movies his skills arenu0026#39;t so great. Doesnu0026#39;t seem like a meticulous professional. And what a waste of bullets, shooting every goonu0026#39;s head 3-4 times. And pressing the trigger of an …empty gun in numerous occasions. Canu0026#39;t he tell his gun is empty? I thought counting bullets was a must skill for professional killers…u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eAs a movie is full of clichés. Another u0026quot;secretu0026quot; society of killers, with u0026quot;rulesu0026quot; (meant to be broken) and pseudo-wise characters willing to share their ridiculous wisdom with others. Not to mention the ancient movie tradition where the evil guy doesnu0026#39;t kill the hero when he has the chance, but instead ties him in …a chair …in an old warehouse making it so easy for him to escape, while explaining his evil plans.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eYet it seems that the movie has a small but loyal audience. The stuntman director tries to capture some brutal violent moves up close. Long sequences of Reeves shooting foes at point blank is somehow a new trend.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eOverall: The otherwise sympathetic Keanu Reeves seems miscasted here. His old pal from the Matrix days Chad Stahelski serves as the director of this typical in premise yet somehow original in the shooting sequences action movie. Not much substance, just stylized action scenes.”
