It is already 5 years ago that the series of John Wick started. We have in the moment already the third movie from John Wick running and it could be that it is not the last of him.
Story
A retired killer, who was working for a Russian underground organisation is pulled back into the scene after the son of his old employee stole his car and killed his dog. John Wick is going out to get revenge.
Watching points
As this kind of movies tend to, the story itself is very easy to understand and we could make out assumptions why in the hell somebody is going to war because of a stolen car and a dead dog. The main reason is, that these two things were left from his shortly before past wife and the reason for John Wicks anger is, that he lost the chance to grieve in peace.
An easy black and white line for aggression calls for aggression.
The real enjoyable part of John Wick are the realistic gun combats combined with near tactile Kungfu moves. The move John Wick brought out a new term called "Gunfu", which comes from Gun and Kungfu.
The combats scenes are taken in long shots and nothing get hidden in short cutted scenes. For long time kind of forbidden battles on the ground are combined with a final shot in the head and shows that these kind of battles can be kind of aesthetic in gun fights.
John uses the Mozambique fight technique, where the first to second shot is aimed on the body and always finished with a 100% deadly shot in the head. Not only gun fights are finished like that, but also near range combats with all kind of weapons, including pencils are used for this fight technique. It makes sure that the movie does not need to concentrate on enemies that could possibly come back from the dead and attack again.
Conclusion
Nice Popcorn Movie with lot of bodies, good action scenes, an easy to understand story and fast moving running time. If you want to see the third movie from John Wick and have not seen the first two, recommendation is to see them also.
