"People keep asking if I'm back, and I haven't really had an answer. But now, yeah, I'm thinking I'm back." With these words, Keanu Reeves launched not just a character, but an entire action franchise that would redefine the genre for a generation.
In this episode, we break down what makes John Wick such a revolutionary action film. From its crystal-clear fight choreography to its meticulously crafted criminal underworld, this movie created a new gold standard for action cinema that countless films have tried to replicate since. We explore how former stuntmen Chad Stahelski and David Leitch leveraged their practical experience to create fight scenes with unprecedented clarity and impact, letting audiences see every punch, shot, and grapple without the frantic editing that plagued so many action films before it.
If you love action movies with substance, join us for this deep dive into the film that announced to the world that not only was Keanu Reeves back - he was better than ever. And remember, whatever you do, don't kill a man's dog.
