Retired, highly feared assassin John Wick comes out of retirement following a home invasion in which his dog is killed and prized car stolen.
Having retired from the high risk world of assassins and violence at the request of his wife, Helen (Bridget Moynahan – I, Robot, The Sum of All Fears), John Wick (Keanu Reeves – The Matrix, Speed) is grieving for her recent death from cancer. A parting gift was a female Beagle puppy. When Wick’s home is broken into by cocksure Russian gangster, Iosef Tarasov (Alfie Allen – Jojo Rabbit, TV’s Game of Thrones) and his flunkies in search of the keys for Wick’s Mustang, the puppy is brutally killed. The assassin is back, blind with fury and out for revenge – with mob boss Tarasov senior (Michael Nyqvist – The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo, Misson Impossible: Ghost Protocol) caught between the two men.
A violent, visceral action feature (the killing of the puppy is devastating) from directors David Leitch (Bullet Train, Atomic Blonde) and first-timer Chad Stahelski.
