Reeves plays a dude who sets out to extract nasty vengeance on the people that killed the dog that his recently deceased wife gave him as a parting gift. Stahelski creates a pulpy world that's looks like it would be Rian Johnson's version of an Asia Extreme flick...and it acts like one too. It's carefully planned out hand-to-hand fight sequences are beautifully shot and edited you almost don't notice how senseless the heaps of violence actually is. With it's gaggle of supporting actors that play like a who's who of violent b-movies of the past 30 years, the film has it's audience already set in but won't find anyone looking for intelligent substance or afterthoughts. It's a gorgeous looking guilty pleasure with very limited redeeming qualities and that's okay with me.

Smelly shit to some. Not so smelly shit to others. XD
It's hard not to mention when it's probably the most obvious thing about the film other than it clearly being modelled off of many Asian films like it in the past 40 years or so.
