    Way better than I was expecting. Would recommend to anyone who doesn't abhor action movies.

    From everything i've read about him, I doubt he cost that much.

    couldn't find any information on it, may not have been released. it couldn't have been more than 10-15m though, it was a pretty minimalistic action movie as far as big set pieces go

    Then maybe it won't be as big a movie as the numbers will have you believe.

    it beat box office projections and more than likely already recouped its budget, i think it's doing pretty well. again, an R rated action film that isn't in a franchise isn't gonna light the world on fire, but if it pulls like 50m domestic i think that'd be a huge win

    Been hearing lately how good this movie is. IMDB rating is shockingly high. Then I come here and find you fools praising this. I also thought this was another meh film by Keanu, so I saw Fury instead (which was great). Guess I must go see this.

    All I could find is that it was low budget and independent.

    Googled articles say expectations were only 7-8M, and they nearly doubled it with 14M, so looks like a relative success.

    There's nothing revolutionary about this movie, but it delivers as a solid action movie. Keanu gives a better than usual acting performance, action sequences are all solid and the underground world ruled by gold coins is laughable but semi-interesting. Also, the old guy running the "cleaning" service must be a multi-billionaire by this point.

    Apparently the movie only cost 5 million to produce, which is pretty incredible.

    Caught it last night, was a great time. What was the deal with the non-Russian mobster guy? Is he a business associate or something? I first thought he was a Consigliere type, but later became apparent that he barely had a clue what was going on.

    Flick was bangin. Wish it had done a little more with its R rating but it was already miles better than the flood of trashy PG-13 action we've been getting all year (besides Raid 2). Action was extremely well choreographed and shot, felt like the first Bourne film except better because John Wick doesn't waste your fucking time feeling all guilty about what he does or confused about his goals. I wanted 90 minutes of fools getting ventilated and I got that. Worth it.

    Great movie. Action, 1 liners, tears, etc. Would see again.

    That line sounded really cheesy from the trailer. Was pulled off pretty well in the movie tho.

    I do recommend this movie. Had some cheesy parts, but mostly great parts.

    I kinda think of it as the good parts of Equilibrium's fighting, practically all movie long.

    There was nothing good about Equilibrium.

    As for this movie: Awesome. It's cheesy but it's exactly what you'd expect/want from this kind of movie.

    "You hit my son. Want to explain yourself?"

    "Yes sir I did. He stole John Wick's car."

    "Oh."
