Review: (#1-#4) Four semi-distinct designs that produce little interest from non-Keanu Reeves fans. These designs might help with his surprisingly large fan base in Asian markets, but in the U.S., I doubt it will help much. The first design is the only one with any originality to it and even that is quite a bit cheesy in its originality.

Trailer: B-

Review: Setting up the impetus for John Wick’s aggression is handled very well, but from there the film seems to devolve into a rote action thriller with an utter lack of inventiveness.
