"John Wick" (2014) Puts the "Wick" in "Wicked"!

Rating: 10/10 (22 October 2019)

2014 action movie" John Wick" proves that simplicity is beauty. The story is about a retired assassin who exacts revenge from thugs who have stolen his car and killed his dog. We witness a basic revenge story, but with sensational fight scenes. The movie is so engaging that it doesn't need elaborate set pieces from the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) franchise and larger-than-life action sequences from the Transformers franchise. The fight scenes are one-take shots so the actor and the stuntmen have practiced the moves like a dance number. It's very obvious that Lionsgate unlocks another cash cow franchise.
