It is about the legend of the killer world, John Wick, who retired and lived a happy little life with his wife. Unfortunately, the good times didn't last long. His wife passed away due to illness, leaving him a puppy, and he pinned his thoughts on the deceased wife on the puppy. The son of the Russian gang leader took a fancy to John's car, broke into his house in the middle of the night, robbed the car, and killed his dog. John then embarks on a bloody road of revenge. The plot can be summed up as: you want my dog's life, I want your dog's life, take your father and the whole gang's life.
Obviously, this is a film of happiness and revenge, reminiscent of the Hong Kong shootout films and martial arts films that I watched when I was a child. The focus of this type of film is not on 'enmity and revenge'. Killing a whole gang because of a dog is not a legitimate revenge in any way. However, once the fight starts, who cares about the reason. The key point is "pleasure", to play happily and beautifully, so that the audience's aggression and hormones can be released to the fullest. At this point, the film does a great job. Moreover, its style is different from the fast and sharp editing of the "Bourneage" series. It relies more on the short-handed confrontation between characters under long shots. With guns, guns will shoot heads, and bare hands will punch to the flesh.
