A Samurai with a gun

Rating: 10/10 (26 July 2019)

This isn't just a revenge movie. It goes much deeper than a man going on a killing spree to avenge the death of a puppy and stealing a man's car. John Wick lives by a code very similar to the Bushido or a medieval knight. This movie is about honour and keeping your word no matter what the consequences may be. It's also about honouring the memory of those who have departed. It's almost like a fantasy world that exists beneath the normal world where the criminals work with their own currency, their own kingdoms and laws. In this universe the criminal underworld live by a very strict code of rules that if you break them you will die. This movie is about the consequences for one's own actions and how they end up affecting the people around us.
