So glad I didn't rush to see this, only took me 6yrs...and I have no regrets. Keanu Reeves, Willem Defoe, Ian McShane, 7.5 *s, it's got be good. Looks like so many rated this action packed film highly & I agree that it takes all sorts to make the world go round & we all have different tastes...which is good. I do like an action packed film but at least it's got be half credible. To me, this was so loose, an obvious script, paper thin characters, half of the Russian New York population dead, so many orphans and widows, someone must have noticed at work & at school, that something bad was happening, all caused by one deadly assassin, who at the beginning, couldn't defend his home from a couple of ruffians who broke in, beat him up, nicked his car & killed his pet?!
