Keanu Reeves is a national treasure.  Kind of like Tom Hanks, but with more charisma and less talent.

That being said, despite John Wick being one of the best … quadrilogies? near quintilogies? out there, still lack the desire to watch it.  Saw the first one, most of the second, and likely will not see the final two.

Because they killed the dog. 

Now he got another dog, a most excellent Pit, but still. 

And his murderous, vengeful wrath was entirely about stealing his car and killing his dog, but still.

Never, ever kill the dog.  Nor ever allow the dog to die.  The dog must be saved, rescued, escaped.  Even in a zombie apocalypse the dog must be allowed to live amidst/amongst the shambling cannibalistic wastrel remnants of humanity. Oh yes.

So.  Generally, not much of a movie-watcher. 

However.

theKid was out of the house for a few days, had the opportunity to see “Sisu,” sort of a Finnish John Wick.

But better.  Oh so, so much better. 

The plot armor was thick with this one, oh yes oh yes and so much the better for it.

Not sure as to how a dead body can shield tank rounds but oh goody oh yes.

Uncertain as to how severed larynxes (larnyxi?) can be used to breathe underwater but oh goody oh yes.

Little perplexed as to how piledriving into bog increases the plane crash survivability but oh goody oh yes.

And he saved the dog.  Twice—oh wait no!  Three times.  Oh yes. 
Had the sads the horse exploded but at least it was quick.

Highly, HIGHLY recommend for some foolish bloody fun. 

Our next dog – an Alabai, p’raps? – will be crowned Aatami.  Oh goody. Oh yes.
