movie review - John Wick

the journal of Michael Werneburg

twenty-eight years and a million words

The Boy wanted to see this flick, so we did. The morale of the story appears to be never kill a man's dog. And while that's obviously a good foundation for a tale the rest of what follows is basically a relentless action sequence as the wronged dog-owner tracks down some of his belongings that were stolen (I think there was a car and some other clutter). Because reasons, our man winds up wiping out the entire criminal organization. I have to hand it to Keanu Reaves, he's got a few years on me but he can do physical things that I could never do in my prime. And look 10x better than I've ever looked. But then, I guess that's why he's a movie star and I'm working at a struggling tech start-up.

Not recommended.
