WHAT’S IT ABOUT?
After the sudden death of his wife, a man named John Wick (Reeves) takes care of their beagle puppy Daisy, his last gift from her before she died. However, when he attracts the attention of sadistic thug Iosef Tarasov (Allen), John is beaten unconscious with Daisy being killed in the process. What Iosef and his comrades don’t realise is that, by taking away the one thing he had left in this world, they have reawakened one of the deadliest hit-men in the business – and now, he’s on a mission to exact vengeance…
IN ONE SENTENCE, WHY SHOULD YOU BE EXCITED?
Keanu Reeves goes full bad-ass in this no-holes-barred action romp that serves to be as deliciously entertaining as it is hardcore and enjoyably violent.
