John Wick is a 2014 neo-noir action thriller about a retired hitman seeking vengeance. After the brutal murder of his beloved dog, a final gift from his late wife, John Wick (Keanu Reeves) returns to the violent criminal underworld he had once left behind. Fueled by grief and rage, he hunts down those responsible for the crime. The film blends intense action sequences, stylized combat, and a deeply atmospheric world filled with shadowy assassins, crime syndicates, and mysterious codes of honor. It explores themes of loss, revenge, and the inescapable pull of one’s past.
