John Wick

Retired hitman John Wick has just lost his wife to illness and received a puppy from her as a posthumous gift to help him grieve. When the son of a Russian mob boss breaks into John’s house kills his dog and steals his car he makes a catastrophic mistake: he has no idea who John Wick is. The answer to that question delivered in one of cinema’s most celebrated villain monologues launched a franchise by reinventing action cinema’s visual language — creating the gun-fu choreography style that has influenced every action film since.
