John Wick - Master of headshot
It's a very enjoyable action flick. Really like how they establish an underworld society where you hire cleaners to take care of corpses and a santuary hotel for nefarious individual. They deals in mysterious gold coin currency. While Keanu provides the badassery of "gun-fu-ing" headshots left and right, there are enough impressive "actors" to drive the story forward.Especially Michael Nyqvist providing a pretty effective mob boss. Wish they can make another movie within this John Wick world. The action sequences are refreshing and efficient where you able to follow clearly who doing what.

i see it as a proficient gun user who is accurate at getting head shot. not gun-fu. try and watch equilibrium the movie gun-fu like dancing... pretty elegant..

Thought equilibrium\ultraviolet uses gun-kata as coined by the director.Gun-fu just over generalization of gunplay and martial arts combine together.It was never specifically defined to any specific style.The term originate from John Woo movies as a homage to HK action films.Again it's my opinion la and also how the movie being marketed!Not a fan of technicalities. tongue.gif

hehe.. but to be honest, i much prefer the gun-kata in equilibrium than ultraviolet.. can feel the lethalness of gun kata while ultraviolet was like way too flowery movements... anyhow i still enjoy John Wick nonetheless...
