The R-rated thriller which will be released this week in theatres has received universal praise from critics and has gathered a spectacular 100% approval from Rotten Tomatoes as of today. On IMDB early reviews also pushed the film above 9/10 before its official release giving it a stellar thumbs up.

While Reeves' last outing, '47 Ronin' faired horribly at the box office, this latest project may prove to have been the best career move the actor has made in recent years. Is this the revival we were hoping for?

'John Wick' opens in theatres October 24th.
