About the film
Better not touch him
What it’s about
John Wick has left his violent past behind, living quietly after the death of his wife. His only comfort is Daisy, the puppy she left him. When Iosef Tarasov, son of a Russian crime boss, breaks into his home, steals his 1969 Mustang, and kills the dog, Wick's grief turns to cold fury. He re-enters the underworld he once dominated, determined to make those responsible pay.
What hooks you
Keanu Reeves performs most of his own stunts, bringing a physical intensity to the role of a man who was once the best in his lethal profession. The cast includes Michael Nyqvist as crime boss Viggo Tarasov and Willem Dafoe as Marcus, a fellow assassin. The film's slogan, "Don't set him off," hints at the relentless force Wick becomes.
Who it’s for
It suits viewers who enjoy action driven by personal loss and a protagonist with a particular set of skills. Those who appreciate stylized violence and a revenge plot with no moral ambiguity will find it satisfying.
