Hollywood blows it again........

Watched "John Wick" on pay-per-view the other night. They had a great idea , they just didn't execute it. ( Pun intended ) Keanu Reeves stars as the title character who was once a legendary underworld hitman. He retired and went straight and married the smokin' hot Bridget Moniyhan. ( Patriot's QB Tom Brady's ex and Tom Sellecks daughter on "Blue Bloods." ). They were madly in love and he was idyllically happy. Then she dies of a mysterious ailment. The same day he gets a puppy from her post-humously-( How did she know she was going to die if it was so sudden? ) He also has a Boss 429 Mustang. When gangasters kill the puppy and steal the Boss 'Nine-he sets out to smite them in Biblical Fashion.  Ok. Except we never see him and Bridgett's happy marriage ( not even in flashbacks, except for one annoying cell-phone clip ). Were never told what the fuck she died of-whether it was leaukimia, breast cancer, brain cancer, lupus, a stroke, a brain hemorrage, whatever-were just supposed to beleive that this gorgeous maybe 35 year old woman just dropped dead out of the blue, but yet knew the time of her exact demise and could have Fed Ex deliver a puppy and a cutesy note the day of her funeral after she's gone?  They never explain why he has such a unique car as a 1969 Boss 429. We see him hot-rod it alone at an airfield. Russian thugs then steal it and kill the puppy setting off his quest of vengenance. The thug who steals it is the son of his former boss who is understandably upset by these proceedings. Instead of making the little bastard give the car back and apologize, of course it's as Johhny Dangerously said- "fargin war". John Leguizamo is wasted as the owner of a "Chop Shop". He recognizes Wick's car and punches out the kid who stole it and admits it to the old man and gets away with it. He also gives Wick a 1970 SS396 Chevelle after relaying the bad news, and has a pristine, sinister "Bullitt" style '68 Charger that he leans on while pleading his innocence in the theft to Wick.  We never get his history-why does Wick trust him-and where does he get his balls big enough to punch out the son of the "Don" so to speak?  Now we get a bunch of Hong Kong style action flick-ala "The Killer" action as Wick takes out the boss's thugs in pursuit of the brat who stole the car, including torching his whole database and all his money. Ther'es also a subplot with Willem Dafoe as a former colleague of Wick's who is given a 4 million dollar contract to kill him, but instead protects him at every turn, even sacrificing his own life. Were never told or shown this relationship in any depth-did Wick save his ass from torture and death in the military in Iraq or Afghanistan? Why would he sacrifice his life to save Wicks? Because they both liked old musclecars?  As usual the producers thought Video-game style action aimed at 12 year old boys would be enough. Well it wasn't. They had a chance to do something really cool-and instead went by-the-numbers and disappointed true action fans once again with a train wreck with plot holes you could drive a truck through. Too bad.
