John Wick is a 2014 American action-thriller film written and directed by Chad Stahelski and David Leitch. The movie follows the story of former hitman John Wick (Keanu Reeves), who has retired from his violent past to live a quiet life. After the sudden death of his wife, Helen, John Wick is left alone with her beagle, Daisy. He is visited by a group of young thugs led by Viggo Tarasov's (Michael Nyqvist) son, Iosef (Alfie Allen). They steal John Wick's prized 1969 Mustang Fastback and kill his dog as a prank. Enraged and feeling betrayed, John Wick sets out on a quest for vengeance against the gangsters who took everything from him. He seeks out Tarasov's mansion in New York City, where he faces off against Iosef and his henchmen. As John Wick navigates the underworld of international assassins, he is aided by Marcus (Willem Dafoe), a retired hitman with whom he shares a complicated past. Together, they embark on a bloody rampage, taking down Tarasov's entire organization one by one. John Wick's skills as an assassin are put to the test in a series of intense and stylish action sequences, showcasing his proficiency with guns, knives, and hand-to-hand combat. The film's innovative "gun fu" choreography and stunning set pieces have become iconic elements of the John Wick franchise. Throughout his quest for revenge, John Wick grapples with the consequences of his past actions as a hitman. He is forced to confront the moral ambiguity of his profession and the emptiness of his post-retirement life without Helen by his side. Ultimately, John Wick's mission becomes a cat-and-mouse game between him and Tarasov himself, leading to a thrilling showdown that sets the stage for the franchise's subsequent installments. With its non-stop action, slick visuals, and a performance from Keanu Reeves that is both stoic and compelling, John Wick has become a cult classic and a benchmark for modern action films.
