John Wick. Heard a lot about it, but only just watched it.
The action scenes, the main draw, are great. The main thing I noticed being how it uses cuts so sparingly, rather than the majority of action movies these days that cut to a different take every half a second (sadly not even an over exaggeration). Instead they actually have this rare this thing called 'choreography' and 'direction'.
Also the story: man steals a guys car and kills his dog. The guy turns out to be retired legendary assassin John Wick and everybody is terrified of him. It's both stupid and makes a change from "average every-man is for no reason awesome" by making him awesome from the get go.
