John Wick!- A cult classic.

Chapter-1

I bet most of action and thriller movies fan out there must have watched John Wick. I usually write hit or miss in the title but not this time as this movie is super hit and deserves all the appreciation for Keanu Reeves and the entire team.

John Wick has a series of 4 movies. Today, we are about to discuss about the first chapter which was released back in 2014.

This movie has a style which just astonishes you. It just takes you deep down the gangster road which has ultimate class yet blood shedding is really frequent. Considering this aspect a person who is into action and thriller should dive into the series.

I had watched the movie six years ago but yesterday before bed I was scrolling through Instagram and a meme appeared of john wick

This was the meme and a sudden urge to watch the movie appeared and I spend my next 1 hour and 45 minutes on Netflix watching it again.

Plot
The movie revolves around a retired gangster called John Wick played by Keanu Reeves who was in grief of her wife dying sick. She left him with a present of a puppy who he falls in love with. He was heading for his usual day driving his vintage mustang and going for a drive with the puppy daisy.
On the gas station he was encountered by three Russian boys who offered to buy his car which he denied to and went back home.
Those three guys invaded John's home that night and killed his puppy, injured john and took away his car.
That was the turning point for John since he had only one hope left after his wife died and that was his dog, after daisy's death he took the retirement back and went into the business.

It turns out that the boy Losef who killed Wick's dog was the only son of Russian mafia leader Viggo Tarasov,played by Michael Nyqvist.
As the story continues, John wick get's back into his old shoes and started a mission to take revenge and kill Losef anyhow. As he executes his plans we get's to see how massive gangster was john wick since everyone in the underworld knew and respected him.

Th crazy part starts when the hunt for Losef began and everyone was trying to save him for the sake of viggo but anyhow he got caught.

The best part

The classic action is stunning. For any one like me who is not even much crazy about action film would love it too. As the actions weren't fake mostly seemed really genuine which bought in the interest and one would love it for sure as it's forte of the movie. The style of gangsta was really classy and bougie.

All kind of weapons were used from guns to swords. There always a thing in action movies which is
so unrealistic that the main character never gets injured in any fight but kills 20-30 men in a go. Here it was so realistic as John got injured many a times and still fought.

The Cast

Each and every member of the cast played their role really well that I can't even imagine them doing anything else but this.
The director Chad Stahelski bought his every character and actor as one in the film and made it a blockbuster.

I would rate the movie 10/10

let me know if you guys would like to have chapter 2, 3 and 4 of John wick to be reviewed. I would love to publish it.

Its actually a classic movie. I haven't watched other parts except the first one. I would love to watch it soon.
Great post buddy!

Truly its classic.
Thanks buddy:)

An exciting film, just typical Keanu Reeves, whose films I generally like to watch.

Hi @josua1 actually Keanu Reeves is a wonderful actor. He did justified the role really well.
Thank you for your wonderful remark, Keep flourishing!

The perfect way to do action, not everything need to be dumb and without sense. A great series of movies!

So true, Every other action movie doesn't need to be dumb, John wick is the best example.
Thanks for commenting, Keep flourishing.

I really enjoyed that first movie. Now, I never thought it would become such a successful franchise. Now every recent action movie wants to imitate John Wick,

Actually they try to imitate but the class of the john wick series is on another level .
Thanks @jcrodriguez for your remarkable comment, Keep flourishing.

These movies are fun and I also like to see Keanu Reeves doing another successful franchise apart from Matrix. I am looking forward to the next film, and you might be interested in checking out a recently released movie called Nobody, where Bob Odenkirk plays a character that is almost a copy of John Wick, it was cool too.

Now I have to watch Nobody! It would be exciting though.
Thanks for your comment, Keep flourishing.

I had to admit, I just watched this film because Keanu was in it, and as always he never let us down.

So true, He never lets us down.
Thanks for great comment. Keep flourishing @tonykstart
