JOHN WICK

"He's not the boogeyman. He's the one you send to kill the f***ing boogeyman."

If you're in the mood for a stylish, violent revenge thriller, John Wick might be just the movie to watch. Strangely, the only Region 2 (European) DVD that I could order online was the Scandinavian version (which of course has the original English-language soundtrack included). It's the best thing I've seen Keanu Reeves in since Point Break.

He's also slated to play Barry Eisler's iconic assassin, John Rain, in a forthcoming TV series, with action stunts from the same guys that did John Wick. Let's hope the series goes ahead. At 50, Keanu Reeves is the same age as John Rain in the first novel. I hope it's successful.
