Following the 25th anniversary theatrical re-release of “The Matrix,” a thrill ride starring Keanu Reeves will soon be released This time, however, it is not Neo who appears, but the lead assassin, “John Wick”
Yes, the thrill ride that launched Reeves' latest action franchise is somehow already 10 years old, and to commemorate this, the hit film will follow in Wick's footsteps and announce his retirement in late 2024
Courtesy of Fathom Events “John Wick” will be back in theaters on Sunday, November 3 and Wednesday, November 6 For all the information you need and to purchase tickets at the screening theater nearest you, visit the Fathom Events page
In my eyes, it is worth the price of admission just to see Chad Stahelski's brutal thriller on the big screen But if the prospect of seeing a grieving hitman avenge the theft of his prized car and the brutal murder of his adored puppy is not enough to get you back to the cinema, it is worth noting that “John Wick” fans have an additional treat in store for them
Yes, it's a good movie
Yes, in addition to all the action, those who attend one of these screenings will get to see an exclusive sneak peek of “Ballerina,” the “John Wick” spin-off starring Eve Macaro, the ballerina assassin played by Ana de Armas
Simply put, “John Wick” is an action movie and you should buy your tickets before they sell out If what you are looking for in going to the cinema is a blistering action scene, this is the blockbuster you should see Don't believe me?

Critically, the film has maintained high ratings since its release; on Rotten Tomatoes, “John Wick” still holds an 86% critical rating, with an audience score not far behind (81%) For those interested in specific opinions, here is a brief look at how RT's “top critics” rate “John Wick”
Eric Kohn of indieWire called the first film “a very satisfying B-movie,” adding: “Keanu takes aim at the Russian mafia, fists and bullets flying freely What more could you ask for?
Similarly, Variety writer Peter DeBruge described “John Wick” as “a clever and satisfying revenge thriller” and “clean, efficient, and incredibly assured, with breakout potential” The sequel and Peacock's spin-off series Continental proved that DeBruge was right on target back in 2014
