    First time you saw the movie?

     

    Plot:

    -That is an old ass iphone.

    -Interesting way to start a movie, with the main character seemingly dying.

    -Really going for the emotional gut punch right off the bat, huh?

    -The fucking beagle... Sweet letter. Emotional gut punch, binding you to the character.

    -obviously John Wick has never had a puppy... Don't just leave it on the ground, not in a kennel.

    -Fitting the guys in the bmw are russian

    -So he goes to air field just to power slide? we obviously know nothing about him, yet. So what does he do? What happened to the dog during the power sliding?

    -The russian assholes are back; all for the car? Because they felt disrespected? Fuck those guys for killing the dog.

    -So John knows exactly where to go to find his car? Who's Vigo? The Carpathian? He did conquer the country of Moldavia.

    -Hey, look, it's the mayham guy... Guess that's apt for this movie.

    -Finally getting some back story on John... So he was an assassin.

     

    -So they're going to try and kill him before he can come for them... Obviously he's waiting on them.

    -It's increadable these guys only come for him one at a time... The knife fight was anxiety inducing.

    -Chat with the sheriff was funny.

    -What's with the gold coins?

    -Getting Wicks old friend to try and kill him is low

    -The pacing of the movie is bumpy. The fighting is fun, but all the other stuff is laboring.

    -So some werid hotel that everyone knows John and now a Matrix-esque club/bar thing?

    -How long does it take to drown someone? Always seems too fast in movies.

    -Interesting music choice in the club fight scene

    -Being thrown off the balcony, that wouldn've broken something... back, elbow, leg.

    -Nice phone call to the kid... Everything has a price.

     

    -Bourbon John drinks is blantons single barrel malt whisky

    -Willem Dafoes character is a shitty shot if he misses while John is sleeping. Interesting fight...

    -Didn't kill the girl assassin; guess there is some honor among assassins.

     

    -So he burns all the money... I would've taken a stack or two... Even though it seems he doesn't need it.

     

    -The car park gun fight... When he's hit by the car... Again, should've broken something. Concussion at least.

    -Cool they get to meet face to face, and John explains his anger... Don't really see that happening in most action moivies. Very emotionally driven.

    -That is ssecond shot willem dafoes character missed on an easy shot... is he trying ot subtly help Wick?

    -Can't imagine giving up your kid to be killed. ugh... almost feel bad for the guy.

    -I cant wait to watch this shitty kid get killed for being such an asshole.

    -Management gave him a dodge challenger/charger? I'd rather have the old camero or mustang.

    -So Dafoe was really... Da-ally...

     

    -Girl assassin still after him, even though the contract was pulled?

    -Uh-oh, they killed Willem Dafoe.

    -The girl assassin got hers... But killing her in the crossfire like that... Not too smart. What if one misses.

    -Its crazy, right when he jumps off the car, is when it starts raining.

    -Big fight wasn't that big... Few punches and a stab.

    -Back to the begninning, and he's alive.

    -So he steals someone elses dog?

     

    The end

     

    Top Five Trivia of the movie: 

    Marcus Facts about John wick

     

    1 When Kolstad was writing John Wick, he orginally titled the film Scorn then he decided to name his protagonist after his grandfather, John Wick, a businessman who owned Wick Building Systems in Madison, Wisconsin.

     

    2 The Action scenes had to be muted. On location in New York City, Stahelski and Leitch had to exercise caution when it came to staging shootouts and car chases, and not just for safety. Their filming permit didn’t allow for blank ammunition, so computer-generated muzzle flashes were often used.

     

    3 Based on how many dynamic action scenes the John Wick movies include, it is pretty obvious that filming them must be somewhat arduous for series star Keanu Reeves. As it turns out, that was especially true for the actor when they filmed the nightclub scene he had the flu at the time and was running a 104° fever.

     

    4 Michael Nyqvist, who played Viggo Tarasov, had to have 80 stitches put in his head after a stunt went wrong while filming.

     

    5: Director Chad Stahelski was Keanu Reeves' stunt double in The Matrix movies

     

    The story is loosely inspired by an incident in Texas involving former Navy SEAL Marcus Luttrell, who wrote Lone Survivor, about his fireteam's ordeal during Operation Red Wings in Afghanistan in 2005. Luttrell was given a yellow labrador puppy, whom he named DASY, after the members of his fireteam. On April 1, 2009, at about 1:00 a.m., Luttrell was awakened by a gunshot, and saw four men drive away. DASY was dead in his yard from a gunshot wound. He armed himself with two 9mm Beretta pistols and chased the men through four counties in his truck until police apprehended them. They taunted Luttrell, threatened to kill him, and indicated no remorse for their actions. They were later sentenced for animal cruelty. Luttrell stated later, "I spared them, because I've killed enough people already."
