IMDb plot summary: An ex-hitman comes out of retirement to track down the gangsters that took everything from him.
Directed by Chad Stahelski. Starring Keanu Reeves, Michael Nyqvist, Alfie Allen, and Willem Dafoe.
Storywise, there's little to elevate this movie above others of the same genre (though the motivation for revenge is nicely original) but my gosh, is it stylish. I saw a review that referred to the choreography of this movie, and that's absolutely the right phrase. There's a dancelike precision to the action here that made it interesting even for me, who is typically bored by action and even more by gun-based action.
3.5 stars.
