At a gas station, he encounters a trio of Russian gangsters whose leader Iosef insists on buying his car, which John refuses to sell. Despite John's stoic demeanor, he bonds with the puppy and they spend the day driving around in his vintage 1969 Ford Mustang Mach 1. While struggling with his loss, he receives a beagle puppy named Daisy that Helen had arranged to send before she died, to help him cope with his grief. John then loses Helen to a terminal illness, and is heartbroken. Legendary hitman John Wick retired from his career as a contract killer to live a normal life with his wife Helen, and the two have lived happily for 5 years. A sequel, John Wick: Chapter 2, was released in 2017, and was met with comparable critical and commercial success. It grossed $86 million worldwide against a production budget of $20–30 million. The film was met with positive reviews, with critics labeling it as one of Reeves' best performances and one of the best action films of 2014. The film also pays homage to works such as John Woo's The Killer, Jean-Pierre Melville's Le Cercle Rouge and Le Samouraï, John Boorman's Point Blank, and the Spaghetti Western films. The film used fight choreographers and gun fu techniques from Hong Kong action cinema. Stahelski and Leitch's approach to fight scenes drew upon their admiration for anime and martial arts films. They previously worked with Reeves as stunt doubles on The Matrix trilogy. It marks Stahelski and Leitch's directorial debut as a team after multiple separate credits as second-unit directors and stunt coordinators. The film was produced by Basil Iwanyk of Thunder Road Pictures, Leitch, Eva Longoria, and Michael Witherill. Kolstad had completed the screenplay in 2012 and further developed it for Thunder Road Pictures. Chad Stahelski and David Leitch directed the film together, though only Stahelski was credited. The story focuses on John Wick (Reeves) searching for the men who broke into his home, stole his vintage car and killed his puppy, which was a last gift to him from his recently deceased wife. It is the first installment in the John Wick franchise. It stars Keanu Reeves, Michael Nyqvist, Alfie Allen, Adrianne Palicki, Bridget Moynahan, Dean Winters, Ian McShane, John Leguizamo, and Willem Dafoe.

“ John Wick: Chapter 2 delivers plenty more of what fans want, while fleshing out the property’s mythology and lore in fascinating ways.” ( Screen Rant) If that sounds like high praise to you, too, then you will absolutely dig Keanu Reeves’ gratuitously crunchy ode to choreographed ultraviolence via the bullet, the bare knuckle, and the everyday No.
“The biggest compliment I can think to pay JOHN WICK: CHAPTER 2 is that I lost track of the body count within the first 15 minutes. JOHN WICK: CHAPTER 2 is the real deal in action-movie fireworks – it’s pure cinema, an adrenaline rocket of image and sound that explodes on contact.” ( Rolling Stone) “Remember how the original JOHN WICK snuck up and wowed us in 2014? Now he’s back and better than ever. Also starring John Leguizamo, Bridget Moynahan, Thomas Sadoski, Ian McShane, Lance Reddick and Laurence Fishburne. Ordered by Winston, kingpin of secret assassin society The Continental, to respect the orga nization’s ancient code, Wick reluctantly accepts the assignment to travel to Rome to take out D’Antonio’s sister, the ruthless capo atop the Italian Camorra crime syndicate. Retired super-assassin John Wick‘s ( Keanu Reeves, in a role that was clearly tailor-made for him) plans to resume a quiet civilian life are cut short when Italian gangster Santino D’Antonio shows up on his doorstep with a gold marker, compelling him to repay past favors.
