John Wick (2014)
John Wick is a 2014 action movie directed by Chad Stahelski, with a running time of 1h 41m. It stars Keanu Reeves, Michael Nyqvist and Alfie Allen.
John Wick buried his wife days ago. The dog she left him, a last connection to her, is all he has, until a Russian gangster's son takes it and his car. What those men do not know is who Wick used to be: a hitman so lethal the underworld called him the Boogeyman. Keanu Reeves plays him with quiet, coiled grief as he returns to a shadow city of assassins, gold coins, and the neutral-ground Continental hotel. Chad Stahelski, a former stuntman, shoots the gunfights in long, clean takes: brutal, balletic, and instantly imitated.

A few thoughts on John Wick
Rurouni Kenshin, the manga, follows a legendary killer who tried to lay down his blade and keeps getting pulled back, much like Wick. The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt sends a for-hire monster slayer through an underworld with its own strict codes and coin. Red Dead Redemption 2 delivers the same weary gunfighter's Revenge & Vengeance and precise, punishing violence.
Assassins pulled back in for one last job
John Wick drags a retired hitman back into a shadow world of gold coins and neutral ground hotels. If you love professional killers forced out of retirement, these films run on the same fuel, following assassins who thought they were done and get dragged back into the trade.
Revenge thrillers where a quiet man turns lethal
John Wick starts with grief and a stolen dog, then unleashes the deadliest man in the room. If you want more stories of an unassuming figure pushed until he answers with overwhelming violence, these films deliver the same slow fuse and brutal payoff, built around ordinary men with a lethal past.
Honor-bound warriors living by a strict code, across games and comics
John Wick moves through an underworld ruled by rigid rules, oaths and consequences. If it is that code of honor as much as the action that draws you, these games and comics follow warriors bound by duty and reputation, from wandering swordsmen to gunslingers who live and die by their word.
