John Wick (2014)
A lean, stylish revenge story that hits like a drumbeat: clean setup, relentless escalation, and choreography that actually tells the story.
John Wick is the rare action movie that feels both mythic and grounded. It’s not just gun-fu and sleek suits—it’s a whole ecosystem of rules, codes, and consequences that makes every fight feel like it matters.
The real secret is clarity. You always know where you are, who wants what, and what the cost will be. That clarity is what turns the violence into choreography instead of noise.
If you like action that’s crisp, physical, and emotionally legible, John Wick is essential.
