I came to 2014’s John Wick years after it was released.
Though I knew there was a film series out there, I don’t know why, but it was just not on my radar as something to watch.
I typically am not into pointless gore/action films and I assumed it was just that in a long tradition of such things.
How wrong I was!
We started watching them last year (I think) and only have 2023’s John Wick: Chapter 4 yet to watch. (In fact, it was likely a review of that sequel that started to pique my interest.)
Keanu Reeves really sells the character and Chad Stahelski (director) and Derek Kolstad (writer) truly create an amazing world for Wick to inhabit.
I had this scene served to me today on the YT and I had forgotten how tense so much of that first film is.
