Great action, but the so-called "leading man" might as well be reading his lines off a cue card. Some actors can turn it up to "11", but Keanu turns it down to "5"...and leaves it there. Stop him before he "acts" again! Final rating: 7/10. ?
shareI normally argue against the whole Keanu being "wooden" thing because honestly, he has a number of roles that prove otherwise. In this particular case, I would slightly agree, BUT, only because he SHOULD be somewhat "wooden".
He should not be charismatic in any way whatsoever. Think of how many people he's killed... Hundreds. His wife is dead, home destroyed. In reality, probably anyone's mind would've completely broken at the point he is at. So yeah, he should be a bit emotionally stiff, anything else would be too far away to believe.
*beep* off troll. He plays the part of John Wick to perfection.
shareThat's kinda the point. This role was tailor-made for Reeves and that's why it works. He's convincing as ever as John Wick and doesn't distract or try to be more than an assassin. He reminds me of the antagonists in those John Woo films of past, or the Steven Seagal movies. Just straight up vintage action. Go hate somewhere else.
If you love Jesus Christ and are 100% proud of it copy this and make your signature!
his character isnt suppose to be all chatty kathy or anything....
he is a man of few words, which is why when he does speak, people listen... like in the first movie when Viggo calls john..... and John doesnt say anything, while Viggo is talking, and John hangs up, and the Avi ask's what did John say.. and Viggo says " enough " , Viggo knew they was in for some *beep*

His acting isnt wooden at all... his acting in the first and 2nd movie are what make the Character so appealing...
..well first off, we don't go to a movie like John wick for the acting lol.. but good solid dialog is nice. John wick is a simple movie that sets up all the action and thrills. I thought keanu owned this role and acts as good as anyone could. can't wait for chapter 3
...
Keanu plays the character like he is; a cold, sociopathic (possibly autistic) loner of few words who has only ever loved one person in his life.
shareKeanu as John Wick is as perfect as he's ever been on screen. He owns the role, ya dig? Damn good casting.
Looks like I'm walking - JW
How's it feel to be on an island all by yourself with this comment. You swore people were going to back you up but Reeves was awesome and perfect for this role. Quit saying what you think everybody wants to hear.
shareYeah! How dare you possible have an opinion that no one else agrees with! If you don't agree with the mainstream opinion then you should go die!
ALL HAIL BIG BROTHER!!!
