JOHN WICK (2014) | MOVIE REACTION

[@seanleon2766]

Killing someone inside the Continental is an immediate death sentence. That's their number one rule. She broke the rules and paid the price. Such a fantastic film.

"No such thing as just a dog" Truer words never spoke.

[@gregquinn7817]

I appreciate you being honest that this isn't a first time reaction. I get the suspicion that sometimes some reactors claim a reaction is a first time viewing when in fact it isn't.

[@EOMReacts]

We've always been open and honest. There have been a small handful he saw a scene or two from or something, but we always will be open about it. Some of the bigger stuff we want to do are rewatches, but will be different. Harry Potter, J knows like the back of his hand. Maybe better. MCU, he knows, but it's been a while for most of it. Star Wars, he mostly saw YEARS ago and remembers plot points, but no details. But we'll always be honest here about what he's seen and hasn't. You all deserve no less.

John Leguizamo's bit in this, as Aurelio, is just about perfect. On a second viewing, from his facial expressions alone, you can *watch* him doing the mental math on how he's *not* going to be standing in between Wick and Viggo or taking any kind of side in what's about to happen.

That little laugh as the puppy's waking him up might be the only truly happy moment for John in the entire movie.

[@shanem4703]

He takes the jacket off and roles the sleeves because he is pissed and subconsciously wants to beat his son to death for his stupidity. After that hit he has a split second of calm clarity realizing that and put the coat back on as an act of self restraint to help keep him from overreacting. It is a rather brilliant little detail in the story telling.

[@J_EOMReacts]

I will take that as a answer. That makes a lot of sense thank you for that.

[@TreWimsical]

Viggo also coulda been wearing one of his good suits at the time as well

[@stegwise]

its because he's wearing the red shirt and not the red jacket. the son should be wearing the brown pants.

[@theeLonelyRedPanda]

Keanu has said he'll keep doing these kinds of movies as long as we the fans want him to do so, so yeah. EPIC

[@S_047]

Notice how at the start Viggo is pretty collected and calm? Throughout the film he gets more and more stressed and starts drinking heavily and by the end he's on that OOOOIIEEE . Fun fact 1 : guy who did the dog , felt so bad after he spent the rest of the day with the puppers playing with it Fact 2: doorman wasn't taking about weight , he was talking about how many guys were inside (Kevin Nash is always a win) Fact 3.the puppy at the end wasn't a random dog he stole, paperwork next to it had it slated to be euthanized, so John saved it's life too.

We had a blue Pit just like the dog he got in the end. Her name was precious. She was so sweet . Our beagle was the one that liked to bite ankles sometimes when u try to leave. Pitbull are misunderstood dogs and i see why john picked him . Keanu looks good for his age and he seems so humble in real life.

this is a breath of fresh air. Just like the old james bond movies. Pure action and a dash of emotion. Not the other way around.

[@LA_HA]

There are two types of killers that look the victim in the eyes: The Michael Myers type who are psychotic and like to watch the light go out. It's an insanity that gives these types a love for murder. And then there's the Ned Stark type who understand that when you kill, you must be responsible for the reason for the depth of the act of killing another person. It's everything to do with being an honorable person with a righteous reason for what you're doing. John Wick is the Ned Stark type. He kills because he has chosen this path, it's a righteous kill, and he can't turn away from it. Just an opinion

[@shainewhite2781]

They messed with the wrong former assassin for hire in this action adventure thriller film! John Wick was originally going to be played by a much older actor like Harrison Ford, Paul Newman or Clint Eastwood. The dog wasn't just a pet, it was supposed to represent John having a normal life but when they killed the dog they took away his one chance of happiness.

[@BigGator5]

"I heard you struck my son." "Yes, sir, I did." "And may I ask why?" "Yeah, well, because he stole John Wick's car, sir, and, uh, killed his dog." "Oh." Boom! HEADSHOT!! 😎 Fun Fact: Bacon grease was placed on Keanu Reeves' face to attract his dog to jump on him when he wakes up in bed. Action Star Fact: According to Keanu Reeves, he did 90% of his own stunts in the film. Of course, Reeves learned and memorized the nightclub fight sequence the day that the scene was filmed. Stealth Adaptation Fact: The security guard who waves Wick onto the airport runway is reading the 1970s thriller novel "Shibumi" by Rod Whitaker, under the pen name Trevanian, also about a retired master assassin dragged back into the game. The story Viggo tells about how Wick once killed three men "with a pencil" is describing a crucial scene from the same novel.

[@jefftomlins6330]

I can't be no henchman cause if we go 8 deep and you kill 6....there's only gonna be 7 cause I'm leaving. Made me burst out laughing lol

[@U-Gozoo]

" people keep asking me if I'm back, and I really haven't had an answer but yeah I'm thinking I'm back so you can either hand over your son OR DIE SCREAMING ALONG SIDE HIM"! It is still my favorite line in this entire movie!! Daisy crawled over to John and THAT makes that scene so much more 😢 sad!!

[@rbrtck]

They didn't kill John because they wanted him to know how they got what they wanted, killed his dog, took his car, and absolutely humiliated him. Iosef wanted John to know that he was a superior man, and that this was the price of denying him what he wanted.

[@BarberShave19]

[@Thane36425]

There are a lot of subtle things in this movie, but first... A while back I saw something about "Kung Fu" movies that also applies to Western action movies, too, perhaps more so. That is, they said that back in the 60s and 70s, the Shaw Brothers era more or less, the actors in the movies often had extensive martial arts or at least acrobatic/athletic backgrounds. That meant they could do longer takes in the fight scenes and could do acrobatic things. Later, there were fewer and fewer such people, so fights either shifted more toward guns or had a lot of short takes and lots of cuts. This is especially true of Western movies where they often have a cut per second or more because the actors don't have the background. Reeves may not, but he did put in the practice to make it look as good as it does without a million cuts. As for the subtle things, just a few. Note that Jimmy starts with his hat on then takes it off. A policeman I used to know said that the hat being on essentially meant business. Taking the hat off was kind of a step down, something they might do with a victim since it made their presence less official as it were. In this case, Jimmy was probably going for less official to say the least, as in "I'm not about to get into this and I'mmnot reporting a thing." John buried his past in concrete,mbut Viggo had his in a safe he could open. That said, John knew who to contact from memory but Viggo had to get a dusty phone book. Lastly, note that John casually had Harry covered in the hallway, and Harry didn't fully relax either. But were ready to go, they were letting the other know they didn't really want to. John may not have killed Perkins because of the no business on Continental grounds rule. Charon did seem to imply it would have been OK in this case, but even so, it was something someone else might have been able to hold over him later, so why risk it? After all, he didn't kill her during the fight.

[@joeschmoe1150]

I fell in love with Ian Mcshane watching Deadwood! God Tier actor. So glad you know him as Al Sweargen. Ian McShane got really popular from a hard to find BBC show called "Lovejoy"! Late 80's and early 90's. He plays an antique dealer but more of a sleuth, solving mysteries about stolen antiques and art with his wit and sarcasm. If you love him as Al, you will love this series. First season isn't the best but he is still amazing. Not sure it would make for good content but, he is amazing to watch!

[@mrpaige9202]

I, like so many others, would have loved to see your first time reaction to this movie. I know the first time I watched it, I was amazed at all the fight scenes and how rough and brutal they were. Definitely portrayed how deadly john is. Question: How is it that everyone knows him and the body count he had to get out of that life, and yet no one called in sick that day? 🤔

[@cbretschneider]

Now, the Bride meets John Wick, that's a story that needs to happen.

[@josephmassaro]

You asked why he took the jacket off only to hit Josef once. There is a thumbnail for a KZbin video from that scene where Viggo is holding a knife to his son's throat. It was never released as a deleted scene, so we may never know if it was an alternate scene or an extended scene, but clearly they did film more of Viggo taking out his frustrations with Josef.

[@frost1977]

killing the dog was needed to get the audiance onboard with what John was going to be doing. I so wish i had gone to the theater on this one on opening weekend.

[@THE_CDN]

Seryy Volk is his real nickname . You can hear him being called that during gun fights and in the other movies in the series. It means The Grey Wolf. Baba Yaga is a powerful Russian witch, but even she is afraid of The Grey Wolf.

[@ghostlyaudios7935]

I'm so glad you brought up the more realistic fighting in this movie. I've always thought it had to do with Keanu Reeves, having experience in martial arts. Specifically Brazilian Jujitsu. I think it makes it more like sparing/fighting rather than choreography with a stunt double or otherwise.

[@monicamaza5843]

I 100% agree with you about protecting our dogs. I took krav maga self defense and was worried about hurting my training partners. They learned real quick to say "if you don't stop my attack I'm going to reach your dog behind you." 👀 Hulk smash after that. That was my switch.

[@Deathbird_Mitch]

I gotta try that. I've never been able to "pretend they're someone you hate".

[@pleasehelp2446]

My understanding for why Alfie Allen's character didn't know who John wick was is because John left almost 10 years ago. Alfie's character would have been 14-16and not involved in the family business yet, so there is no way he would have heard of his fathers super secret hitman.

[@TheGavrael]

That's my favorite trope in movies. The "surprise, I speak that language too" trope.

Olives can add a slight flavor to a drink (especially a dirty martini where you pour olive juice in) but they also absorb and change the nature of the drink. Smoothing the drink out a little. And some just like eating them.

Martini drinkers eat the olives at the end of the drink. The olive soaks up some of the gin and vermouth, giving it a special taste.

Lots of killers had two loving parents. I think that has very little to do with it. I think it depends more on the chemical reactions happening in their brains, and their own unique view of the world, than it does on their upbringing. In fact, I would say that the broken home narrative is more of an excuse, than a cause.

John wick is a legend to them however dudes son may have heard of him just never cared about it nor knew what he looked like so he never truly learned who john wick was he basically just let it go in one ear and out the other cause hes off doing pettt crimes and play games so he never cares to learn about the things a grown man who care about like history honor etc. Thats what i believe is the reason his son doesnt know who john wick is. Heard about it didnt care then forgot about it. Prime example "ill can make this right." "DID HE NOT HEAR A WORD I JUST SAID!?"
