re: Is John Wick the best pure action movie of all time?

But pure action isn't just about action...

It's about the movie having little redeeming qualities beyond the action.

John Wick has an actual story - so that disqualifies it as the best pure action movie of all time.

The Expendables franchise?

Con Air is?

300?

London Has Fallen might be up there - damn that movie was seriously bad.

All of the above are seriously retarded movies that are nothing but mindless action.

John Wick tries to be something more - so no, it's not the best pure action movie.

I think John Wick and Payback are very similar with Mel Gibson.

Actually I think John Wick is a rip-off of Payback.

Shame Payback doesn't get the love John Wick gets.

Because Payback is a better film than John Wick.
