If this wasn't written by China Mieville, I might have expected some type of John Wick slaughter-a-thon, but after you read a couple Mieville books you learn to expect the unexpected. I have a feeling that Keanu was very pleased with the end product. 

I loved the mystery of B's origin, the flash backs, and the other supernatural creatures/people. Writing was topnotch, of course. But, it didn't really blow me away, like the Bas-Lag novels. Of course that kind of fantasy is much more "my jam", than modern day settings. 

Saw an interview with both of them and they were talking about a Netflix series. Would definitely like to see that. Also interested in the comics now.
