The policeman's reaction is so good. A mixture of respect and "Please don't kill me"
That momentary pause when he sees the body on the floor. His inner monologue = "Do I mention it, do I not? Will he think I think he's stupid if I pretend I didn't see it? Jesus christ I don't wanna fucking die, please don't kill me Mr. Wick."
It wasn't entirely shown,but Wick is part of an assassins organization and the police and others know about it.There was/is a TV show in development and the show will go more into detail about the hotel and the organization
It wasn't fear. The government already knew what he was doing.
@@eq1373 yea they did
Notice how he took off his hat when he started addressing John personally rather than "officially". Nice touch.
Keanu Reeves is one of the best physical actors today. A lot of people will give him grief for accents or line delivery, but his body, his face, the way he moves his arms, all of it is very deliberate and always serving the scene.
i really respect that he took all that gun training before making this movie... watching him on that range, just looking awesome, was nice to see!
@@spyro257 Method acting to the extreme. I have to pretend I know how to do what? Nah, I'll just learn how to do it all for real so I know it will look right.
SO he's a great Stuntman who should never have a speaking Role?
Probably.
@@hackerx7329 if all actors did that, we would have a lot better actors... Arnold Schwarzenegger is another actor, i got a lot of respect for, back when the movie Predator came out... he read the plot and said "i cant win a fight with that thing, head on, it's a monster, that hunts for a living... we have to change it, so i have to use guerilla tactics and traps to win, or it's not believable"
@@spyro257 I love the story of how Arnold had to remind the director of Commando that while he was strong he could not in fact just walk around with an entire tree trunk over his shoulder.
Marcus asked Vigo if the contract on John was exclusive. When Vigo said no, it was an open contract, Marcus knew that hit people would be lining up to take a shot at John, so he agreed to take the contract to Vigo's face because he thought that would give him an excuse to be in John's vicinity, the better to cover his back.
What I found interesting is that they didn't actually line up at all. The only one crazy or malicious enough to give it a go was Perkins, and on Continental grounds no less.
@@brei2670 probably cause the price money was too low to go after THE John Wick, in the second and third movie they offer three times as much to kill wick, but even then the killers kept business strictly off continental grounds, because they knew what would happen if they broke the rules. Perkins was actually insane for killing someone on continental grounds just because she needed to get to john to get a shot at the 4 million (double bounty)...
@@foenixs4085 which makes Perkins a legend in her own right but also serves as a cautionary tale
@@treytilley333 Perkins would have been a legend if she pulled it off. Instead she's remembered as a fool. Either way she'd still be dead.
The conversation between John and the security guy Francis at the Red Circle was all in code. John asked him if he "lost weight" and the number of kgs he "lost" was the amount of henchmen inside the club. THAT and the supposedly there is a back story between these two (Francis was John's driver when he was still a hitman), is why John let him live.
Exactly ... It was supposed to say 27kgs but the person doing the transcribing for American version changed it to an American weight i.e. 60lbs. But he wasn't talking about weight he was giving away the fact there were 27 henchmen inside the building.
Giving out information that saved his life. If he had failed to answer the question about how much weight he had lost, he knew it was all over, right here, right now.
Interesting, thanks for the info 🔥
One of the interesting points about this film is he constantly changes magazines, showing the accurate limit of ammo in a gun. Also, John NEVER strikes an innocent civilian, making him deadly accurate.
EDIT: when John was shooting at Iosef and seemingly missing, he meant to not hit Iosef in that moment. Like a predator playing with its prey, he wanted Iosef scared and fleeing. When Perkins was fighting John and called him a p****, it was because he is a gentleman and didn't want to hit a woman in the face. He fixed that by wrapping her head in a sheet first. It may seem like a meaningless gesture, but it was how he could justify, at least to himself, striking her in the face in order to knock her out.
The thing I love about when John killed the son was how they subverted action movie rules. There was no one liner, the son didn't even get to finish his plea. Just straight up "It was a f**kin'-*bang!*", and John just walks away with almost no other reaction.
There are videos of Keanu training with weapons for this movie, and he is good. I love the "oh shit" reaction of the mob boss when he hears his son pissed off John Wick, and the cop saying "you uh working again" after the gunfight was hilarious. I love me some John Wick.
yaas lol the videos of him training for these movies just go to show, you probably wouldn't want to try and pick a fight with real life Keanu either
One thing I liked is the realism of the shooting. Wick ran out of bullets, and either reloaded (quickly) or grabbed another weapon.
It did my heart good to see Perkins receive "adjustment" for her policy violation.
@@Caseytify And a couple of times I think he shot people in the leg or foot if they were in cover (before executing them). The fighting is brutal and realistic, another movie with similar fight scenes is Atomic Blonde with Charlize Theron's character getting the crap beaten out of her. Ms Perkins punishment was deserved.
Fun Fact:
When John goes to the Club to kill the kid and starts with the bodyguard outside, He says, "You've lost weight" and Francis Replied "Over 60 pounds". This was actually a test AND a code between the two. John was testing him to see if he would help him (which is why he lets him go and tells him to take the night off) and Francis replies Over 60 pounds (or 27 kilograms), a code for nearly 27 security guys/henchman protecting the boy. VERY cool way to again show us how much of a badass and how respected John Wick is. Thats basically FBI communication skills why would John ask him how many pound he lost its absolute nonsense. He's using a glock which holds 17 rounds he's reloading after every 17 shots when he did a tactical reload he puts the mag back in his pocket instead of throwing it away. Also the same things when Marcus shot at the pillow. Marcus is an excellent marksman and would never miss a shot. You can see the wind blowing through his hair right before he shot so he knew when he was aiming for John he would hit the pillow. Marcus didn't accept the contract until he found out it was open, which meant other assassins would be trying to kill him.
15:13 I ❤️ how they show Jimmy’s respect and fear of Wick. The second he sees the body, he takes his hat off. That lets Wick know, “I saw nothing, I’m saying nothing. You do “you”.” 🤣🤣 Very reminiscent of old mafia movies.
yea johns doin they job for them killin the bad guys lol
John Wick is such a fantastic movie! I adore it! So many good scenes. "I heard you struck my son" "Yes sir I did" "May I ask why" "Well he stole John Wick's car and killed his dog" "Oh.." PERFECT! And then the scene where they talk about just how badass and scary John is...gives me chills every time. And John constantly backs it up throughout the whole movie! Great reaction! Super happy you enjoyed it!
That exposition at its finest in 3 minutes we learn everything we need to know about John
It's been said in one way or another, but I think that the first half hour of this movie, specifically from John's car getting stolen to when the police officer leaves him alone, is one of the best character introductions in a movie from the past decade at least.
I love the symbolism of John destroying the foundation of his new life, the basement floor, to re-enter his old life, the weapons and coins.
Friggin' poetry.
yoooooooo I NEVER THOUGHT OF THAT! THAT'S SICK!
Plus, after he did it, I feel like I've seen the sledgehammer thing a dozen times since... so he kind of created a new trope right? Unless it's a throwback to something much older I haven't seen
Well the house has always been an analogy of the mind. The attic, represents the super-ego - our ideals, a state of being the perfect version of one's self; the living space is the ego - the life we consciously make for ourselves; and the basement is the id - the things we try to hide or bury. So not only is the basement symbolic, so is the lack of the attic. John knows he's a failure of a human being, and the best thing he can achieve is to live an honest, grounded life, without any hope of reaching any ideals he might envision for himself. He's given up on his super-ego, but when the thugs invade his ego too, all he has left is his id - the thing he tried to bury.
It's a great film, Laurenn. Marcus took the job to stop it being offered to someone else who might have killed John, then kept watch on him to make sure that he wasn't killed by others. Other films that I recommend with Mr Reeves are; 'Speed', 'Point Break' and 'Constantine'.
Great comment & perfect Keanu Reeves movie recommendations👍
I think Constantine is very underrated.
Oh hell yes, Laurenn. Do a reaction for Speed!
YES! Please watch Constantine, Laurenn!
Don't forget "Bill and Ted's Excellent Adventure'
Whenever I see a reaction to this movie, I usually put some comment in about how well portrayed the grief and the effects of grief are because I went through that journey myself when cancer stole my wife from me ... and just now I recall that why Keanu can act that aspect so well is because *he* too has endured it.
John Wick is one of those movie that perfectly personifies badassery. The gun fu is insanely well choreographed, the world building is so good, and Keanu is the man. I don't know how anyone couldn't root for John, especially after what happens to his dog. I wanted John to lay the SmackDown on all those guys after what they did to him, and John didn't disappoint lol You will definitely enjoy Chapter 2, and probably Chapter 3: Parabellum. I haven't seen the latter yet, but I've only heard good things about it.
P.S. I appreciate you recognizing Willem Dafoe lol
After Lauren sees both JW2 & 3, she will enjoy new one coming out next year: John Wick 4.
Well that is what happens when the "artist" directing is a STUNT MAN.
I have watched many people reacted to this movie. Nobody ever comments on the one thing I thought was amazing the fact that even though Daisy was dying she crawled all the way over to him and lay next to him.
Oh my god, I keep hoping for someone to mention it in their reaction.
Doesn't usually get mentioned by the reactors, but does normally get brought up in the comments
@@5thcolumn288 well I guess I've just added to all the other normal bringer upers lol
Are you sure she crawls to him, and the guys didn't drag her so thats the first thing he sees when he wakes up?
@@somerandoonyt9553 no I don't believe so. If it was a bigger or larger dog it would be a possibility as they would have dragged it over to him. The fact it was a puppy they would have just lifted it up walked over and dropped it next to him. This wouldn't have left the smeared trail of blood along the floor. I'm pretty sure the puppy crawled to him.
Marcus was always on John's side. When Vigo offers the contact, his first question is if it's an open contract, meaning would other assassins be trying at the same time. Only when he knew it would it be open did he accept the contract, so he'd have an excuse to stay involved and help John.
Hey Lauren, so fun fact: when john comes out of the darkness with the gun to Francis the door mans head and Francis proceeded to tell john how much weight he lost it was actually code talk. John was asking how many guards were in the club and he replied over 60
Thats true. But they messed up the translation. Cause he cleary said 60 Kilogram in russian (about 132 lbs). Makes it more clear that they are NOT talking about actual weight loss... cause loosing 132 lbs is extremely unreasonable. So every European knew right away that something was fishy here...
@@Smido83 Clearly the translation couldn't say 132 pounds because then the coded number would have been wrong, so the "incorrect translation" was okay. Even better would have been to just leave it in kilograms, though. Americans as a whole might not have a sense of how big a kilogram is, but most do know it's a unit of weight.
@@Smido83 Actually, no. Francis didn't say 60 kilograms, he said 28 kilograms. Which is somewhat accurate to the translation "over sixty pounds", since 28 kg is 61.6 pounds. But it does throw off the context of the line, and there were only twenty eight guys around Iosef in the Red Circle
@@Anino_Makata No, he clearly says 20 kilograms (Dvattsat) in Russian. 28 Kilograms would have been dvattsat vohsyem.
If you count them John kills 21 people in the club but the first 2 were not guards and 1 guard survived so 20 would be an accurate count of the armed guards.
And Francis is played by retired pro wrestler Kevin Nash.
when John talks to Francis the door guard his question about weight loss was a cover for his real question, how much muscle was inside. when he had his answer he let Francis go before the Bad Things started happening.
The World building in this Franchise is just INSANE. Every question you might have in this movie will be ansered in the later ones. And also the Action just gets better and better...
The Devil’s Advocate is another Keanu classic. Highly recommended!
It's one of my husband's favorite all-time movies. I swear he watches it at least once a week!
yes! Devil's Advocate is good. might as well watch Constantine right after. i also recommend Bill & Ted's Excellent Adventure
"aww, is that the end?"... nope it's just the beginning. 😉
Glad you enjoyed this great flick, time for the sequels...
LOVED this reaction! Your editing is so great! Love the add in bits, like the "he f'ed up" overlay on Iossef. So funny! Can't wait for you to see the plot unfold in the sequels!
I love the scene with Jimmy, when he takes off his hat, symbolizing that he is not a cop right at this particular moment. He knows whose door he just knocked on. If John is killing guys who busted into his house, it's none of his business.
The series has been so good of John Wick. Part 4 will be out next year in March. Hope you watch the next 2. Hope you watch his older movie Bill & Teds Excellent Adventure. 4000 hrs of training for this movie.
I wonder how much time travel training he did for Bill & Ted? 🤪
@@goldenageofdinosaurs7192 more than we could have apparently
Keanu is best when he gets minimal dialogue and is pure physicality, I think. He conveyed real emotion reacting to that letter and his stunt work is impeccable (when dude says more than a few lines of dialogue, it's a bit..bland? Monotone..I dunno, maybe just me).
Love your reaction, as always.
'Nobody' should be next.
I'll be charitable and call his line delivery 'understated'.
@@fnglert Why do people act like they could do a better job?
Yes he isn't the best but he isn't the worst as people portray him
Infact he's actually good when given a proper good script with good direction
@@wickedsouls3402 Never considered him The Worst or anything, but he has limits, same as Morgan Freeman wouldn't do intense action movie training and stunts.
@Nick the Constitutional Peasant - because it is like that in a reall life at the end.
None of that "Hollywood" crap, explaining why you doing it, some crazy long dialogue, or explaining something to the "bad guy".
None of that exists at all out there. Never.
If you want to do it, or have to do it - it is done. Just do it. And there is no talk at all. Pure professional job, and the approach.
@@tannhauser5399 Amazing explanation
Loved your reaction, you have super expressive eyes that convey a lot of emotion, and apparently are really good at observing detail. Most people I've watched John Wick with, (or seen reactions of), don't catch the super tiny details like that the dog at the end was scheduled to be put down... Which is a detail that puts John taking the dog into a completely different context than if he was stealing someone's family dog. instead, by surviving, John ends the movie giving that dog the gift of life, (showing that he does not kill needlessly.) What happened to John's car? You'll have to watch the sequel to see if they address that loose end. 😈
Love the John Wick Movies. That part with Jimmy at the door always creases me lol. Great reaction. Look forward to you doing parts 2 and 3. Can't wait for part 4 next year.
One of my favorite things about the John Wick universe is how it's a thing to say "be seeing you" to someone you just fought.
I absolutely loved your reaction to this movie Lauren. Can’t wait for your next reaction ❤️❤️
When someone shows up in your home and uninvited and requests something, assume that saying "no", will have consequences that he had prepared for and you have not.
You don't get the full range of Keanu Reeves without also seeing Bill and Ted's Excellent Adventure.
I didn't realize till recently, the guy Charlie who runs the cleanup crew, he's Sully from Commando.
"remember when I said I'd kill you last? I lied."
Best scene of the whole series is when Wick is in the basement penthouse . The stare down , no look headshot, badass.
One thing that even the comments on these videos don't mention, is how John has that incredible car, and clearly takes exceptional care of it, and yet has no qualms at all about the puppy running all over the interior.
I really enjoy that. It shows that the car matters to him and he takes care of things that matter to him, but also that he values a living thing over an object, in spite of what he himself is. It demonstrates that he knows a few marks on the upholstery or something like that can be fixed, but that the puppy is irreplaceable.
It's one of the things that humanizes John for us, so that we take it even more personally when things go bad and we cheer when he starts murdering dudes. But almost nobody notices it. By then, they've introduced him so well that we're really kind of already on board, and we don't think twice about the fact that he'd just let a puppy run around inside his amazing car. We already kind of expect John to be that sort of guy. But I still think it's important that they showed it, and that it really solidifies that we're all completely on John's side.
I loved the scene with the guard Francis. He was like "Hell no, I'm not dying today!".
Marcus was a true friend, he took the contract to be John's overarching, his guardian because the contract put on John by Viggo.
Overarching is a sniper in the Military or a helicopter to watch your teams back during a Operation , by Special Forces Units.
So many excellent few-line scenes... Mob Father calling the auto-shop guy "I heard you struck my son. Why?" He asks the right question immediately. At the Red Circle club, talking to the big Security Guy, "Why don't you take the night off?" Instead of one-liners, these are few-liners, and so impressive.
"Why would they have a house doctor?" I hope someone will point you to Jodie Foster's excellent 'mystery' film, HOTEL ARTEMIS. By the way, even the mystery isn't revealed AS a mystery until the last segments.
27:20 the word is "stoic". Also elegant and gentlemanly.
Elegant, gentlemanly stoicism.
Keanu fan, but the only scene he's done where I got misty was when he broke down after getting that lovely dog as a gift from his late wife. Kinda touching.
If you like Willem Defoe, check out Platoon, a Vietnam War movie starring Charlie Sheen (before he went crazy).
Also has Johnny Depp!
Great reaction 👍. There are many great movies with Keanu but there is a criminally underrated one he starred in from 2008 called Street Kings. Fantastic cast including a pre Captain America Chris Evans, definitely worth watching.
love your reactions, and the way you enjoy and express yourself. also reminds me of the times when i watched the films. its like we are all watching it with you
I love this channel and all your reactions..... fantastic. It is great fun getting to watch people react to certain movies for the first time, the John Wick movies definitely rank high on that list where new reactors are amazed and in awe of them. Great reaction to a great movie!
John Wick is a speedrunner, these are all games he's played to death, literally.
"You, uh... working again?"
"No, just sorting some stuff out."
That was the moment I realized this movie's story played by its own in-universe rules, not our normal rules.
Watched a lot of reactions on John Wick and you do a fine job in noticing the arc of the story or John's character as time progresses and little bread crumbs are dropped along the way.
I also liked how you dissect, analyze and diagnose after the movie ended with crucial moments and detail.
Your reaction to this movie is the best of all I've watched. You nailed every story point that made this movie so good! Thanks - Subscribed
The opening of this movie is a cinematic masterclass in setting the emotional hooks into the audience. I’ve yet to encounter anyone who isn’t 100% on board with his vengeance, after they see what happens to Daisy.
Love your reactions as always. My favorite line of yours before knowing what John would do.... "Well, what goes around, comes around, right?" Did you know Keanu did a lot of practical shooting sports training to get his gunwork up to speed? Looking amazing, Laurenn. Also love the intro ❤️
The name of the concierge at the continental hotel is "Charon". That name stems from a figure in Greek mythology who was tasked with being the ferryman who transported the souls of the dead into the underworld. Coins were placed upon the eyes of the dead in order to pay the fee for their "right of passage". I believe the gold coins used to pay for service at the continental is a testament to that ideology.
This movie is the definition of "fuck around and find out"
I feel Pitch Meeting had one of the best comments on this movie;
"So John Wick is going to kill people for 90 minutes because they murdered his dog?"
"Yes."
"I'm totally ok with that."
Just found the channel. Appreciate your editing, action reactions is what we want to see and that’s exactly what you gave.
Great video! So at 19:07 when door guy said 60 kg. He was actually referring to their being 60 security personnel in the club that John Wick would have to deal with.
Laurenn, please go into "Return of the living dead" from Director Dan O'Bannon, 1985! That'd be amazing!
Watching Lauren adore the dog... knowing what's coming... sigh.
"He stole John Wick's car and killed his dog."
Vigo: "Oh"
All you need to know about John right there.
Then there's
"What did he say?"
Vigo: "Enough"
Yes, it said put down... So John is saving a life at the end.
Now, having seen you react to this, we need to get you to react to the other John Wick Movies. 😁
I love that Viggo fed his son the cheap vodka so it would burn on the way up again, to immediately pour himself a glass of the expensive stuff.
Fun fact. Charlie, the head of the cleaning crew was Sully from the movie " Commando", which starred Arnold Schwarzenegger. He was the guy that Arnold's character "Matrix" held over a cliff with one arm. "Remember Sully when I said I would kill u last? I lied!" Then Matrix dropped him.
The ultimate "u f*cked with the WRONG guy" movie.
Love that you have the Hellraiser Grogu in the background, I just got one myself, it's awesome. I may have to buy or sculpt all of the other mashups. I sculpted a Darth Maul Grogu mashup.
Great actress that played Ms. Perkins. Starting on the Orville, had a good character part for over a season on Agents of Shield, was in GI Joe Retaliation, and was in the remake of Red Dawn.
Seeing a LoveLaurenn new upload notification pop up on my phone...instant brighter day & a big smile on my face 🕺 Another pure gold vid i didn't want to end. Roll onto your next upload!
Much love ya lil stunner 🥰👍
This movie comes with an important message: don't mess with people's dogs. 😅
Keanu Reeves doesn't do much dialog. He's what you call a physicality actor. But one of my favorite dialog scenes of his is when he's tied up and talking to Vigo....
John says- allot of people been asking me if I'm back and I didn't know what to say, well now im thinking, yea I'm back. So you can either hand over your son or you can die screaming along side him... John says it with such emotion and anger in his voice, and you can tell that he has so much disdain for Vigo.. 😂😂 That convo and the conversation John has with the cop are my 2 favorites..
To Add to being so Badass, no matter who he killed, in any situation, he ALWAYS followed up with at least one Head shot!
You should see the UA-cam video of Keanu at the Practice Range!
GREAT Reaction!
Found your channel when you reacted to The Matrix, and now watching this. I enjoyed the reaction. :)
About John letting Vigo stab him, I always felt it was about John having a crisis of "Why am I even here anymore? What would happen if I just.. let it happen?" Coming through it when he laid there watching his wife, he had that moment where he turned his perspective around.
Oh my! What a cute and smart reaction vid. You made my day Laurenn, thanks. Greetings from germany
Great review, Laurenn! I went mad for this movie, got it on dvd and Blu-ray. That club shootout was AMAZEB🎱LLS!!🔫
What was your fave scene in JW?
Ke'anu reeves does all his own stunts in these movies, there's a video you can find on UA-cam that's of him sprinting through a shooting course. He's legitimately a badass
Don't think his name has an apostrophe in it
@@Cifer77 autocorrect
Someone described the cop scene perfectly to me.
You're sent to investigate a fire and find a dragon burning stuff in his den. You just say "Thank you for not burning me and the city" and leave.
Really enjoyed watching your reaction. I’ve seen the movie a few times and never saw the paper on the pittie’s cage. Great… lots of fun. Thanks.
The conversation with the security guard (Kevin Nash from wrestling) wasn't about weight. He was telling Wick how many people were in the building. That's why John let him go.
Subscribed just to see your reaction to John Wick 2. Buckle up young lady. You're in for a real treat. And we haven't even mentioned John Wick 3! Wild times ahead Laurenn! I'm here for the adventure 😄
John Wick Part 2 is absolute bonkers, and the best of the 3 so far.
Keanu was in a rare, stagnant moment of his career when John Wick revived him. That's Keanu, always a rising Phoenix.
God I love this movie. Making a movie about a hitman and turning it into an art piece like that. Chefs kiss
When people ask "What happened to him?" at the start, I love responding "The movie happened to him"
Enjoyed your reaction to John Wick. You know you were the first reactor that I've seen to make note of the dog being scheduled to be put down. Keep up the good work.
Keanu Reeves, Ian McShane, Willem Dafoe, and so many top notch actors... all together! it's just not fair!..
When Jimmy showed up, and John was completely chill, my first impression was "Oh heck.... even the COPS know not to mess with John Wick....."
Then later you learn about the High Table Rules and such, and figure out it's not John, it's the High Society the cops know about. John just happens to be famous with the cops, as he is with the contracted auto shops, the Continental, the other Hitmen, the mobsters.... well, with EVERYONE in the High Society.
Edit: Also, John pulled the knife into his previous stab wound to get control of the knife, and why take ANOTHER stab wound when you can just reuse the old one? :B
34:43. I was in the theaters and when that scene was coming, I heard a lot of, "Get him, John," and they were the satisfied anger tone when he shot Iosef.
Best part: no monologue.
16:19
Btw this guy played Sully in Commando. The guy Arnold promised to kill last :)
Its a small thing but its worth noting that while a bulletproof vest prevents being perforated by a bullet, you still absorb the kinetic energy, the impact, of the bullet. It is quite painful to get shot wearing a vest (depending on the caliber, vest, etc) and leaves a pretty significant bruise. Depending on the vest standard it can be anywhere from 20-44 mm of allowable deflection of the back panel, meaning the bullet being stopped might still push a distance past the vest and into the wearer.
There was a meme with Thanos asking if an infinity stone was in a dog before killing it. John Wick then showed up asking if anyone has seen his new dog. The look on Thanos' face in the last panel was priceless.
One of the greatest lines ever said to describe someone.."Oh".
One of the best things about this movie is that the bullet count for each gun is perfectly accurate. If the gun only holds 9 rounds, after 9 shots, John has to stop and reload before shooting again.
Great catch on the 'To Be Put Down' note on the cage door. Took some of the sting out of Daisy getting killed.
Every time I see this, I always tear up two or three times toward the beginning: his wife, the letter, and the pup with the blood trail. 😢 They really did well with the setup of this movie.
John got some good casual conversation with almost everyone xD
John wick- best
John wick 2- straight hell fire
John wick 3- Masterpiece
John wick 4- Cult classic God of Action flicks
Hey Laurenn, you GOTTA keep going with parts 2, 3, and the upcoming part 4. Each one really builds upon and expands the worldbuilding and it's sooo good! You get introduced to new characters, rules, baddies, interesting fight sequences, stunts, etc.
Id love to actually sit down and watch a movie with you, your reactions, comments and facial expressions are amazing.
Don't mess with anyone's dog, especially John Wick's dog! That new LoveLaurenn opening is awesome btw
Few things to note. Not a lot of people know. The polive have their own community like the Continental. Hence why he was not bothered about what John did. Also pay close attention to the conversation with the guard. He is telling John how many guards are in the club, not that he lost weight. 🤣
John isn't just an assassin, he is THE assassin. When the cops don't even dare hold a candle to him, that's when you know that this guy is not be be fucked around with.
Not sure if you caught it, but the actor who plays Charlie (the head of the clean-up crew) in this is the actor who played Sully (the creepy dude Arnie drops off the cliff) in Commando.
I don't know why it only consciously occurred to me while watching your reaction, considering I've seen the movie itself at least a dozen times, but the only reason Marcus accepted the contract on John was to protect him due to it being an open contract, I'd imagine that if it was an exclusive contract he'd have said no and either still protected him or warned him.
I love that, for all three John Wick movies so far, the crew AND Keanu put so much effort into keeping the gun play as realistic as possible, like not having 'endless clips' and such, and Keanu doing so much actual gun training to prepare.
I'm so glad you enjoyed watching John Wick! You'll definitely love 2 and 3 as well! I also highly recommend watching some action movies by director John Woo as well, especially his 1989 action thriller "The Killer". You'll be able to see how much influence his over-the-top style had on the John Wick franchise and The Matrix. Can't wait to see your future reactions to John Wick 2 and 3!
Great reaction! I think effective minimal line delivery is just as important and worthy a skill for an actor as those who can do longer convos and even monologues. There's a certain talent in being able to drop one liners like the Terminator's "I'll be back" or even John's now patented "Yeahhh" (check out the JW4 trailer for an amazing example of this) with the right amount of badassery and effectiveness that not everyone can do.
I also love Keanu whenever his characters get angry. He's usually super chill and then he'll have a freak out moment that's just like an overwhelming rush of emotion. Good examples are like in this movie when Viggo is taunting him while he's tied up, "Point Break" with the iconic scream and shooting the gun in the air and even in "Johnny Mmemonic" (do people even remember that movie?) when he just has a whole meltdown.
