The John Wick series follows the story of a retired hitman, John Wick, played by Keanu Reeves, who is drawn back into the violent world he left behind. The first film begins with John mourning the loss of his wife, Helen, who leaves him a puppy named Daisy as a final gift. When a group of thugs led by Iosef Tarasov, the son of a powerful Russian mob boss, kills his dog and steals his car, John embarks on a quest for revenge. This film introduces the underworld of assassins and the complex rules they live by, especially through places like the Continental Hotel, where no "business" can be conducted on its grounds. The first movie is known for its sleek action sequences, innovative gunplay, and Keanu Reeves’ intense portrayal of a man seeking vengeance.
John Wick: Chapter 2 picks up where the first left off. John is still trying to leave his violent past behind, but he is pulled back in when an old acquaintance, Santino D’Antonio, calls in a debt. Bound by an unbreakable blood oath, John is forced to fulfill Santino's request to kill his sister so that Santino can take her place on the High Table, a powerful council of crime lords. After completing the task, John is betrayed by Santino, and a massive bounty is placed on his head. This leads to an intense series of battles as John tries to survive and get revenge, all while being hunted by the world’s top assassins. The film expands the lore of the assassin underworld and delves deeper into its codes and regulations.
In John Wick: Chapter 3 – Parabellum, John is on the run with a $14 million bounty on his head after breaking the sacred rules of the Continental by killing Santino on its grounds. Declared "excommunicado," John has no access to the underworld’s resources. He fights his way across New York, seeking help from old allies like Sofia, played by Halle Berry, and The Director, portrayed by Anjelica Huston. Throughout the film, John must navigate a global network of killers who are all after the bounty. The action escalates with stunning choreography and inventive fight sequences, blending martial arts, gunplay, and even horseback combat. The film ends with John surviving, but betrayed by Winston, the manager of the Continental, who shoots him to regain favor with the High Table. Severely wounded, John is taken in by the Bowery King, setting up the next film.
John Wick: Chapter 4 takes John on a global journey to finally end his ties with the High Table. The stakes are higher, and the world of assassins grows even larger, with John traveling across cities like Paris, Berlin, and Osaka. He faces new foes, including the powerful Marquis de Gramont, while reuniting with old friends like Caine, a blind assassin played by Donnie Yen. The film delivers even more intense and creative action, culminating in an epic showdown. John’s mission is to secure his freedom once and for all, but it comes with personal costs and sacrifices, as he faces not only new enemies but also the ghosts of his past.
Throughout the series, the John Wick films have gained praise for their unique blend of stylish, brutal action and world-building. The character of John Wick, with his quiet determination and relentless pursuit of justice, has become iconic, and each film has raised the bar for action choreography and storytelling.
