What is initially a sad story of a man who loses his wife to illness
soon becomes an action thriller when a gang breaks into his house,
steels his car, and kills the puppy his wife left for him. I thought it
was sweet of her to arrange a puppy for him as she knew her time was
short and didn’t want her husband to be all alone when she was gone. The
main character’s name is John Wick and it’s evident early on that his
name has some weight and history behind it. He used to work as a sort of
hit man so tracking down the people responsible for stealing his car
(which is a very nice car) and murdering his dog is something he’s quite
used to doing, and he used to do it so well that those who know his
name are quite terrified they don’t get on his bad side. Even though
after the set up the movie is very action packed the motive of Wick’s
character for revenge is not lost. I thoroughly enjoyed this movie and
if you like action movies with some plot to them, then I think you will
too.
