His unwavering retribution only includes killing people that he is supposed to and leaving innocent bystanders alone. Although, John Wick is the so-called Boogeyman-killer, in a nutshell, John Wick is a hitman with a heart. However, John Wick is so bad, that he is the one sent by his bosses to eliminate the Boogeyman of the enemy. So basically, any gangster who received that particular title must be terrifying and menacing. The above photo is how a Boogeyman is perceived. (Photo Source: Google Images - Wick with his dog, Daisy)īut why would people fear John Wick? What’s up with this Boogeyman-killer? Well, let’s just say that the syndicate to which John belonged was able to secure the upper echelons of the criminal underworld thanks to the last mission assigned to John (more on this on the next sections). It is safe to assume that Wick’s goal of retribution wouldn’t end well for those poorly mannered thugs that attacked him, violated his home, and killed his dog (yes folks, in other culture, taking away the life of a pet is enough to get that person killed). The grief from the lost of his wife and the unnecessary killing of his dog (plus his car was stolen away from him) forced John out of retirement to pursue vengeance against his evildoers. Sadly, that too was taken away from him, but NOT from natural means, but from a more violent way!!! (Yikes) His wife did left him something behind to keep him company – a cute little dog. Unfortunately, his wife died to a disease not disclosed in the film. John Wick left his profession since he found love (yup, a woman’s love has a tendency to do that). This statement alone should send chills to the spines of even the bravest men as the boogeyman is known in popular culture as a non-embodiment of terror (this is why it is used as a form of scare tactic for misbehaving children) John Wick is a retired hitman who is better known to the underworld as the person you send to kill the boogeyman. Let us start with the question who is John Wick. This post will give out backgrounds on different aspects of John Wick and basically, fan or not, the reader will most definitely find this blog interesting. Instead, this blog will provide a background of John Wick in its entirety and as well as focus on its upcoming sequel – John Wick 2. John Wick has all the elements that an action movie should have – and this is quite a given if one is to look at how the movie did in the box office and how it was received by both critics and fans.īefore going any further, let it be known that this blog is not a review of the film John Wick ( there’s a lot of those already floating in cyberspace – and some are actually bad as instead of a review, it came out more like a book report of summarizing and highlighting characters, plot points, etc.) (Photo Source: Google Images - promotional poster of the movie)Īnyway, as mentioned, the film is one of those surprising unknown movies that captivated the audience (one similar movie that comes to mind is Taken). This is because (frankly) the name does not sound that impressive – in fact, unless one saw the poster of Keanu holding and pointing a gun, one may not discern that the film is of the action genre (otherwise, a person may think that it is a horror movie about a man that has something to do with a wick). John Wick is a 2014 action thriller film that surprised a lot of movie goers.
