Others can go in-depth if they feel the need, but as it is the movie ticks all the right boxes for this sort of film.
Yes story if comic book/80s style, and its executed in full force, no silly fast cuts or shadows hiding action, you get a fast moving visceral action film, no brains needed.
The cast is great, many stereotypes but all played well, also nice to see Keanu is still able to pull off some old moves and a few new ones, got to say the gun fights and fist fights are some of the best I have seen since The Raid.
If you want a real gritty/over the top/assassin/revenge/high body count/R rated/well shot and paced film....well this is it, give it a go.
Oh and this is maybe the best acting from keanu reeves I have seen, odd I know but there are more sombre moments and he nails it.

OK giving it a 7/10, very early days yet but seems good, yes there is better out there, but there is also far worse stuff.
Looking at the scores it seems a good number gave it 1/10, thats not possible for a show that is a bit different and has what looks like a good production budget.
It is all by the numbers so far, but its worth following, it also has the chance (if done right) of becoming bigger and better than say....sleepy hollow
The 1/10 normally falls to those who want just anything to flop or because they are fans of another show that touches upon that sort of thing, sleepy hollow springs to mind.
Some just hate anything they see as a thunder stealer or competition.

OK its not a gun fest, no mutants or screens covered with body parts....but it does not need it. It looks great (not bad now even today 2014) the acting parts are well done and the cut scenes are A+, there are no corners cut, they cover all the bases.
Sound FX and music are again A+, there is no driving score all the way, but they add what they need to just to keep it spooky and at times fun.
Story, well thats the big thing, all talking about its like this film/book/movie, and TBH there are a few that are close but there is more than enough differences to make it original.
I would say mix In The Mouth Of Madness (film) Twin Peaks (tv show) Shinning (book) =amazing story that draws you in, you do feel like you are part of the story....almost like you are reading it.
It has action but for likes of Resident Evil fans, they might find it lacking, but for me it was just right.
I really hope they do more like this, but seeing as how long this one took to get finished and final come out.....well I will not hold my breath....but there is DLC for it, which is next on my list of to do's.
