I've noticed both of these on HBO's lineup recently ... I can never find the time to watch them.


Are either of them actually any good?


(Note: we do not have a DVR...if I miss it, I miss it.)

If you:

1. Have chest hair
2. Love freedom
3. Love Bacon
4. Have Big Balls
5. Eat bloody steaks

Then...

John Wick is the best movie of the year

Haven't seen the drop but loved Wick. I'm not the biggest fan of pure popcorn flick nonstop action movies but Wick was extremely well done for what it was.

The Drop is awesome. It's "dark", but really good. Tom Hardy is a phenomenal actor. And Tony Soprano's last film. Rip.

Started John Wick last night, but fell asleep.

John Wick is a balls out fun action movie. The Drop is a better movie but is a slow burn.

The Drop was not as good as I thought it was be, but was still 100x better than John Wick.

This is hilarious because the complete opposite is actually true. Thought it was a horrible movie.

Can't go wrong with either. Watch John Wick if you're in the mood for a revenge thriller and watch The Drop if you're in the mood for a drama thriller.

Wick wasn't bad, but it wasn't a great movie or anything. I feel people who liked it that much probably enjoyed the Expendalbles movies.

Wick is great. I don't really like straight action flicks and I enjoyed the heck out of Wick.

The fight choreography was awesome.

Fun film. Anyone who dislikes it, has zero credibility.

Eh. I loved John Wick and think the Expendables is something you can have on, maybe, in the background while you're vacuuming.

You can watch HBO on demand. DVR is irrelevant.

I liked The Drop a lot. Tom Hardy is great.

John Wick is good for what it is: non-stop gun fights.
