Entertainment Weekly
John Wick, is not only a return to badass form for the actor, it's also one of the most excitingly visceral action flicks I've seen in ages. - 89
Austin Chronicle
At the center of it all stands Reeves, a convincing embodiment of both the calm before the storm and its subsequent capacity for ruin. - 83
Hitfix
John Wick won't redefine action movies, but it perfectly exemplifies what I want from an action film when I go. Have fun with the world, shoot the action well, motivate it in a way that doesn't feel cheap. - 83
The A.V. Club
Their use of Kaleida’s sparse, slinky “Think” — one of the most effective and eccentric sound track choices in a recent action movie — underscores the sense that what the viewer is watching is essentially a very loud and bloody dance piece. - 80
The Hollywood Reporter
Distilling a couple of decades of stunt work and second-unit directing experience into 96 minutes of runtime, Stahelski and Leitch expertly deliver one action highlight after another in a near-nonstop thrill ride. - 75
IndieWire
Neither surprising or groundbreaking in any particular way, the movie gives us what we want and leaves it at that. - 75
The Playlist
There are enough pleasures going on in John Wick to elevate it above just another dumb action movie. - 70
Variety
If you can stomach the setup, then the rest is pure revenge-movie gold, as Reeves reminds what a compelling action star he can be, while the guy who served as his stunt double in “The Matrix” makes a remarkably satisfying directorial debut, delivering a clean, efficient and incredibly assured thriller.
