I'll be different and say The Drop was a huge letdown for me. The acting was great, but it felt slow to me. Like not Tinker Tailor slow, but pretty damn slow. The end did not make up for it IMO

Watched wick a few nights ago. Definitely surprised me because the previews made it look awful. Don't get me wrong, it won't be winning any Oscars. But if you just want to make a stout drink and enjoy Keanu reeves kick arse for 1.5 hours, it's not a bad choice. And I think he's a terrible actor. If you like Taken, you'd probably have fun with this. Like somebody else said, the choreography was really unique and pretty entertaining

Eta: if it wasn't already clear, this isn't a movie you watch for the plot. It's purely an action scene from beginning to end basically. Cheesy as all hell, but if you go into it with the right mindset it's fine. Like a will Ferrell movie... If you go into it expecting an intellectually stimulating movie, you're gonna have a bad time

If you liked The Raid, then John Wick is for you. It's got a paper thin plot, but the action and fight choreography are great.

Haven't seen The Drop yet, but it's got Tom Hardy and James Gandolfini, gotta be watchable for those two alone.

John Wick is the best movie of the year

and Mustangs, you forgot that.

My oldest brother had that car, only in red metalflake with a 351, back in the early 80's. In the scene at the gas station with the Russian punk, I couldn't hear Keanu Reeve's reaction when the guy said "Mustang. 1970?", because my brother was saying "no it's a 69 Mach 1 fastback you stupid mother fricker" so loudly

People either love john wick or hate it.

If you have a boring life, don't watch john wick.

If you have a sense of humor and want some mindless fun for 90 minutes, john wick is great.

The fight choreography is some of the best you'll see in a movie. It's worth it just for that.

I haven't seen The Drop but John Wick is definitely a fun ride. It's fast and doesn't require rapt attention. Very well done pop corn movie
