You asked why couldn’t he handle viggos son during the dog murder/car theft and it was just him being off his game. Dude buried his wife 24hrs before. He’s chronically depressed. That shuts you down physically and mentally. And he doesn’t expect anyone to attack his house because 90% of criminals know to stay tf away from him. So his confidence made a blind spot

[@ilovejettrooper5922]

Also, he'd left the life behind - part of the symbolism of him breaking through the concrete floor to re-awaken that part of himself.

[@darkshadow851]

Plus, the situation opened up with him getting cracked good in the back of the head from a pipe. They don't make John Wick flat out invincible in this, and it doesn't matter who you are, getting hit like that will fuck you up.

[@Cifer77]

Thanos: *Destroys half of all life in the universe* John Wick's Dog: *Poof* Thanos: Sweats profusely

[@nocontender6409]

Thanos's sweat be sweating profusely

[@ememobongnkana]

Let's not play! Thanos would have wiped Wick's ass from the face of the earth with those infinity rings...

[@badwolfat]

When they first came to his house he was retired and didn't expect something like that. Plus he got initially hit with a Baseball bat to the head.

[@bendailey6070]

I liked that the Allstate Insurance Mayhem man was one of the main henchmen.

[@alechall7871]

They set up such an interesting world for the sequels to dive into, well worth checking them out!!

[@Shego2Drakken]

14:26 Interesting that you call Marcus shooting the pillow next to John a warning shot, since it was meant to wake John up before Perkins could attack. So it was a warning shot, just not in the traditional sense. 21:13 Yeah, the Continental takes its status as neutral territory VERY seriously - it's why Perkins got offed and why Winston told John where to find Viggo (because Viggo was the one to put forward the "business on Continental grounds" bonus). Considering what its patrons do, it makes sense that the penalty for violating the rules of neutrality is so harsh, because it makes them think twice about pulling something like that.

[@tomaskennedy]

When a RUSSIAN MOB BOSS reacts to the name John Wick with "Oh…" you know somebody just messed up in a big way!

[@MrTech226]

Interesting fact is that Viggo's right hand man is Dean Winters. Dean plays "Mayhem" for insurance company, Allstate commercials.

[@kenlangston3451]

Just killing Iosef was the ultimate sign of disrespect. Wick was telling him he wasn’t even worth his time to torture.

[@dr.burtgummerfan439]

And no monologue, not one word, didn't even let Josef complete a sentence.

[@shainewhite2781]

Saw this in the theaters with my parents and we were blown away by how awesome and action packed this movie was! They messed with the wrong hitman for hire!

[@0okamino]

Or rather the wrong hitman no longer for hire.

[@otakuwolf4ever985]

"Father I can make this right." "Oh? And how do you plan on doing that?" "By finishing what I started." "What the. . .did he hear a f***ing word I said?" Me: You sure he's YOUR son?

[@iamdclxvi]

The ending is so good, and if you look at the paperwork, the dog he chose was scheduled to be euthanized, so he saved that dog. Haven't seen the third one yet, but I know the second movie is good.

[@alwayswrite2011]

5:10 - Want to make your villain the worst creature on the planet? Kill a puppy. 😠 20:54 - Oh, *NOW* you don't like her. Accepting a contract on neutral ground, trying to kill John, killing Harry... Those were okay. But killing Marcus...? *THAT'S* the last straw! 🤨

[@davidr1050]

The John Wick house is out here on Long Island, NY in a very exclusive area called Mill Neck... -- The air field where John does his practice driving is in Farmingdale, NY (Republic Airport).. The gas station where Joseph wants to buy Johns car is in NY as well, but I'm having a bit of trouble remembering where exactly...

[@AneudiD78]

I've always associated Keanu Reeves as Neo from the Matrix. After this movie, he would always be John Wick and that's why I couldn't see him as Neo anymore in that sequel. This movie was so underrated that it grew in popularity by word of mouth.

[@thejamppa]

@@JundaMane I am so odd man out. All my friends call Keanu as Neo but to me, he is Ted from Bill and Ted :D

[@MsAliciaRL]

@@JundaMane He's both to me. Keanu looks drastically different between the Matrix and John Wick that I can separate the two.

[@Cifer77]

The AUDACITY, the EFFICIENCY, the DEPENDABILITY.... No one escapes the Head Shot King

[@arrow1414]

Damn, how could you have forgotten most of this movie? Its only been eight years.😉

[@1639danmcc]

The director was a professional stuntman which accounts for the amazing choreography in the fight scenes.

[@robertnguyen9493]

Chad Stahelski, he is in my opinion one of if not the best action directors in the world. And his stunt team 87eleven are maybe the best stunt workers in the world!

[@Cobalt-Jester]

I've heard lots of people call it a plot hole. He couldn't fight the first time. He wanted to be out of the 'business'. He had literally buried the past. They came when he was filled with grief,feeling that his life was meaningless. That dog was the first step to some normality, it even says in the letter that it's to give his life a bit of meaning.. So when they came, he was not only weak in body from not training but also weak mentally. There was probably a part of him deep down that didn't want to fight back. Only by pushing and doing what they did gave him the inner strength to fight back.

[@maxducoudray]

A movie like this is great for a reaction channel, because the movie is so popular in the US. But it makes me wish you could get more views for top tier Hong Kong action movies, because I think you'd love them. This movie's inspiration is clearly HK cinema and the best movies from people like Jackie Chan, Jet Lee, John Woo, etc. are god-tier. But of course, I don't know how many people would click on reactions for those movies. 😭

[@darkchamber6546]

I would!

[@MZ-bl6wg]

If you want to see something amazing search “Keaneu Reeves 3 gun shooting training” he was trained by the actual world champion and he’s damn good, then trained by 3 of the best Brazilian jiu jitsu fighters on earth and a black belt. They speak SO highly of his dedication in training gives lad respect! Legend man!

[@dwaekkisinsanity5233]

With Wick's reputation and the fact that he's already retired in that time, he didn't fight back bc he didn't think any sane criminal would go for him, add the fact that his wife just died and he was out of his usual state.

[@ericgarringer6911]

You know it's bad when the crazy Russian gangster just says "Oh"

[@gaijin83]

10:39.... I can't stop hearing or seeing " ZAVALA " when Charon speaks 😆 The soundtrack is also a killa!

[@Broncoburger]

The things I like most about this movie is the action is believable. Exaggerated but not so much so that it can't be real. Also most men can relate to the plot on a primal level.

[@jindas4217]

"Nobody" is another great movie in the same vein as John Wick.

[@jindas4217]

Quite possibly even existing in the same "world" so to speak...but Bob Odenkirk (I seem to remember him as more in a comedic/sarcastic role(s) in movies), but, long story short, Nobody was a cool ass movie. Another favorite of mine is The Equalizer, and Denzel Washington plays very similar kinda roles, just a badass, unassuming, normal guy, but highly trained, (retired from that former life)...but comes back due to circumstances.

[@thetallestdwarf7041]

If you like straightforward action films, check out the first Jack Reacher. Much underappreciated movie IMHO

[@All-Fur-Coat_No-Trousers]

Dude, agreed. I had high hopes for the Amazon series but I think the movie nailed it in a more abbreviated format and TC is a big reason imo. Great books, too.

[@michaelriddick7116]

That movie has the second best fight scene ever filmed (the best being in They Live 🤣😂😎💀) 🤣😂🤣😂 Great flick!!

[@thetallestdwarf7041]

@@michaelriddick7116 I love the fight scene in They Live

[@firstname4337]

LOL @ Tom Cruise

[@echodigger]

Christian Bale in Equilibrium (2002) is another great movie to check out. It's like a dystopian John Wick.

[@scottalynch]

“Nobody” is a fun movie too

[@dr.burtgummerfan439]

Loyalty is the reason Perkins "got it". She was killed because she broke the Continental hotel rules by attacking John. No "business" is to be conducted on Continental grounds.

[@lindy1642]

You could overlook any level of violence in retribution for his pup.

[@jasongilbert2379]

Oh man… you definitely need to watch all 3 JW movies!!! Only get better:)

[@davidmeir9348]

Honest Trailer: (Omnious voice) "They stole his car, they killed his dog. Now, he's going to kill 76 people who work for the dad of the guy who did it."

[@CrocodilePile]

Yes, let's sit down and watch this movie together. Thank you. Here for it.

[@Tearod203]

Reasons you forget this movie: 1) brings kid to theater and the kids is wailing 2) intercorse while having it play in the background 3) someone is attempting murder on you

[@BunBun299]

They only got him in the beginning with the bat because he was still half asleep. He thought he was just letting the dog out. If he'd been aware of the attackers, they'd have been dead.

[@Jason_Van_Stone]

Bourne series, is a must.

[@jimmybee4768]

Great reaction! You really should check out Nobody with Bob Odenkirk. It is along the same vein. I think it is even better.

[@douglaswilliams6834]

Great movie, great reaction! Keanu trained hard for this movie.

[@garypasquill2355]

Check out Equilibrium, the gun fu is amazing even, by today's standards .

[@sephjnr]

12:11 wrestling legend Kevin Nash as the doorman.

[@orko714]

"You, uh... working again?"

[@patricialdv5220]

I can't wait to watch this reaction tonight!!

[@davidhasselblad2898]

They this organization does have loyalty. But they also have rules. No work on continental grounds. I e the hotel. She not only tried to kill another contractor on a hit but also killed another contractor. If you enter this world you know the world, you know the rules and the consequences…

[@n7dris479]

Taxi driver is a must watch

[@jethrobodine8563]

you should check out the vids of Keaneu training for the wick films ....he is this proficient a shooter in real life. its badass

[@misandristmayhem]

You should watch his shooting training video for this role. He’s ridiculously precise in it.

[@birch5757]

I have 2 of the same pillow that she shoots the babysitter through. Funny the stuff you notice.

[@hemmojito]

You workin' again John?👮‍♂

[@johnpittsii7524]

Great action movie. Much ❤ as always

[@harolddorsey9179]

Thing is hes actually that good with the guns.

[@p.mc.4449]

You might like Perkins in G.I. Joe: Retaliation and the TV show The Orville. You might enjoy Peppermint, Hanna and the Punisher with Thomas Jane.

[@jaxsoniunwright5756]

If Sam Jackson had to describe John Wick he would say: John Wick the best there is, when you absolutely positively gotsta kill every mofo in the rooooom.... except no substitute!

[@CheesiestCheesehead]

Gotta watch the rest it gets crazy lol

[@SwerveDaddy1115]

He did all the stunts and all the gun play. His stunt double from Matrix is the director.

[@redviper6805]

I once saw him kill three men in a bar, with a pencil. A bloody ✏️

[@TheNismo777]

Some of us like to keep skeletons in the closets, underworld can be a wild place.

[@jdogjohnson9038]

All 3 are great 3 is my favorite and I feel it has the most action of the 3 they all have great action scenes but 3 I think tops them.

[@Pandorabelle82]

I can say so much. I will assure you, you will love the sequels ❤

[@michaelriddick7116]

Such a great flick :) 👍😊

[@Cobalt-Jester]

I've also heard idiots saying that the killing of Josef was un-climactic... You've just learned about a man of focus, just one thing on his mind. They have then seen him kill 100s in a quick, precise way. So why be shocked when all he does is kill him like everyone else. Do you honestly John Wick would do some long drawn-out speech? Could you even imagine John exposition dumping, telling the baddy about how the death might happen like a 70's Bond villain? It's perfect, hits him in the gut to slow him down, then shoots him in the face. Just so the last thing he sees is revenge.

[@victorsos100]

A stellar trilogy.

[@jamesgalimo1007]

Tell the truth... you don't remember it because you were Netflix and Chillin'.

[@donaldcasteel6179]

I, as a rule, cannot watch a movie if they kill the dog. Especially when it shows how the puppy dragged itself to John as much as it could... This one actually shows the proper response. John responded appropriately, You killed the dog, and the head of the russian mafia craps his pants over it. Saving the dog from euthanasia at the end was also good.

[@Gort-Marvin0Martian]

Man you got 2 and 3 left now and then there is a 4 and a 5 on the way. So far each new one has been as good or better than the one before it. Enjoy!! Be safe...

[@ztomas1]

Looking good in that black shirt

[@JamesASharp]

Great reaction bro! 👍🏿 I hope you react to the whole trilogy.

[@altabird44]

There are great videos on KZbin of Keanu training in both judo and weapons.

[@Teardehawkee]

Who to shoot in the club? They're wearing Red Shirts.

[@mesi0r]

you really need to watch OLDBOY, oryginal one!

[@kevisdaone69]

Man you really need to do a reaction to House Party. Pleeeaseeee!!!!!

[@1nkredibeHunk]

Bro you need to check out BLACK DYNAMITE!!! Instant favorite

[@kevinhess3650]

You’ll like John wick 2 and 3

[@russellhunt2071]

As for him and his love of dogs. It's all animals. In real life he gives a lot of money to animal charities and created some I think.

[@MisterW0lfe]

Alfie Allen felt so bad about killing the dog as Iosef that he spent the entire production of the film that he wasn't on camera playing with and spoiling the pup rotten

[@Kim-hc5si]

🔥🔥🔥

[@johnneiberger7311]

Man, I would LOVE to see you react to The Man From Nowhere. It's a Korean action movie similar to a mix of John Wick, Man on Fire, Leon the Professional, etc. But better than all of them, in my opinion. Well, maybe not better than Leon, but as good. Just different.

[@VykeKing]

Sounds like you were drunk when you first saw it lmao

[@ShaDoWLoC187]

OH...

[@Angivel]

One of the coolest most Telling quotes in any film.

[@ryantozer3117]

You should react to the art of war 2000 movie starring Wesley snipes

[@FilterHQ]

The second film is good..the 3rd is awsome :)

[@rigmarhaynes4197]

You should watch The Man From Nowhere. A Korean movie that incluenced this one!

[@jakesurname1086]

I've seen all the John Wicks and enjoyed them, this title made me wanna watch them again. If you're going to react to them soon, i'll just wait for you instead.

[@noebody878]

Are you going to react to the rest of the series? 🙂🙂

[@kaiser5910]

You really should have a look at Atomic Blonde ^^ Female John Wick in the '80s

[@rolandmasdo7667]

Please react also to the movie “Nobody”. It’s also like John Wick. Thanks

[@normcmiller]

Perkins gets a lifetime pass because of FNL.

Bro , u haven’t seen this movie yet, ur behind, this is a memorable movie, chapter 2 is better & chapter 3 take it to another level

[@Bigwayne1984]

Just action movie that knows what it is. Entertaining. if you want to dig deeper, … you like like Tarantino, Robert Downey jr. fucked up movie that deals with mental illness, abuse ,crime and modern day amateur celebrity. It keeps you thinking weeks after. natural Born Killers.

[@richerchristophe9996]

john wick is so good but i prefer jason bourne !!!! :)

Youre the best reaction video online. But if you've seen it, Im out. You still the king bro.
