Wick was insane with guns, his gun fighting style was the best anyone has ever seen on screen. I think he could take any one with guns. H2H the Equalizer would take him though.

To delve a little further:
1. If they were hunting each other across a city, who would kill who first?
2. Did you like it better or less than The Equalizer?

Its hard for me to tell you which I liked more but I guess if I said "go see this movie or the other" I would say go see Wick, it was just an awesome movie. A hunting contest across the city I give it to Wick. His body count was close to a hundred and the previous off screen story his body count was in the hundreds. His old boss was scared shitless of him.

Alright, thanks for the input. I'll definitely be seeing this as soon as I get the chance.

This movie ****ing owns

Saw this last night... fu#king rocked. Loved the David Cronenberg style direction. Sequels please. They haven't released the budget for the film for some reason, though.

Agreed! Movie was simply bad ass!

To bad blunder can't see it.

It is very good movie and i Liked it..!! His action is awesome.

To those who have seen it: do you have a reasonable guess as to the budget? I'm thinking $20-30 million, maybe?

500 million.

Saw the flick. It was enjoyable. Willem Dafoe was, as always, enjoyable. 😄

Keanu delivered a very awesome/angry line in the film. I was surprised...he never gets angry like that. Director did a good job of making that come out.

Sometimes, the fighting is unrealistic. But where this film sets itself apart, imo, is it is much more realistic than most films in this category. Keanu's character takes a heavy beating throughout the film. He's bleeding all over the place, at times. He isn't perfect (meaning, he misses, sometimes, doesn't get one hit kills, doesn't get one-punch knock-outs, etc.). But...personally, I feel they could have sped up the gun-fights a bit. Meaning, he could have been much more of a speedy badass with his shooting. This isn't unrealistic: humans are much faster than Wick, in real life, so why the need to slow it down to make it seem "realistic" like that?

Overall, good mindless action fun. 😄

6.5 out of 10.

Seems like they copied Die Hard format with the getting beat, bleeds all over the place, isn't perfect.

Need to watch this, this guy seems like he'd be a good McClane victim. 👆

So he's no Robert McCall in terms of invincibility. Good, black is still on top as year's best action hero 🙂

Have to see that one too. Likely another McClane victim as well.

Now that you mention it, it does have a McClane from the first Die Hard feel to it. Very much so...as far as Wick being a damage soaker that keeps going.

Nope. McCall would destroy McClane. John is outclassed on every level.

Listen, they're both Irish at least.

Yes, a black guy with a surname of McCall.
Sorry but Denzel is no Edward Woodward...the one & only, original Equaliser.

Guy has "dward" in both his given and surname.

There used to be a joke about why Edward Woodward had so many "d"s in his name....

Something about so he wouldn't be called, "Ewar Woowar". 😕
