John Wick

 

I thought I would cross this off my list. I am pleased I made the effort

It is fine. I can see why people enjoy it. It is a decent action film. Like the brand of wood varnish it does exactly what it says on the tin. I can see John Wick having influenced the Punisher, and a lot of stuff made since this

This is a 2013 production, my first year in Peru

I had a beagle too

Kudos to Alfie Allen, for being willing to play unlikeable characters- he is making this while playing Theon in GOT

It gets to the point economically- and has John Wick built up by the other characters- most noticeably the ``Oh'' scene

Lots of faces from the Wire. Which is never a bad thing. The casting is well chosen

I note the bad guys in NYC are lily white Russians
