Yes! After I watched this I read up on him. He had so many tragedies in his life. He seems so generous and respectful. Anyone who worked with him before just loves and respects him so much it seems
@@PopcornInBed Yes so many tragedies in his life. So sad. It's one on my bucket list to work with him one day. There's a video of him you'll be able to find on RUclips, he's riding a subway and he gives up his seat to fellow passenger.
I remember a "The Truth About Celebrities" videos was deflating the "nice" public image of many famous people, and when it got to Keanu Reeves, it said "He's actually even nicer!"
If you skip over the fighting and deaths this is a movie about a guy that gets a puppy, stays in a nice hotel, and then rescues a dog to be friends with the puppy.
LOL. This reminds me of a skit of "The Sopranos on PAX TV". Taking out everything not deemed acceptable to PAX TV, the whole episode was whittled down to 30 seconds! LOL!

Reminds me of the line in Wick 3 where he says "you didn't have to kill him" and she says "he killed my dog" and then wick says "I get it" The dog and his car were the whole setup for first 2 movies then the repercussions of his actions in those to the 3rd and 4th. Still a great series. Hoping the 4th delivers without going too "wire fu"
People are very attached to their dogs, loving them as much as would a child. There's a number of movies in which the the death of a dog spurs the hero to finally abandon all restraint and punish the villain. In building up the evilness of a villain in a story, it's terrible that they do horrible, illegal crimes, but the final straw that really condemns them to their fate is harming an innocent. Even among the roughest of bad guys, there's still an understood idea that you don't harm defenseless innocents like the old, the frail, women, children, and especially dogs who in their good natured innocence would be friendly to anyone. Any criminal who shows himself willing to harm defenseless innocents as marked himself deserving of death. In the movie "Open Range" the character played by Robert Duvall is an old, stoic, tough cowboy who has probably seen and endured near everything imaginable. When he's reciting all of the evil acts the villain has committed, it's not until the end of the list, when he says the villain "killed our dog" that his voice cracks, he gets choked up, and is struggling to hold his emotions in check and not cry.
@El Vato There are absolutely NOT a lot of better action movies. If she don't want to watch action, then don't. Also she said "her husband" lol, not "people" thought she'd like it.
@El Vato John Wick is one of *THE BEST* action movies out there. And that's not an opinion. It's a *FACT. * In truth, I wasnt interested in the movie at first. But then it *IT WON ME OVER!*

@@Je1imanek Which still makes him a hitman; but really THE hitman, since the Table have to send every other hitman (or woman) collectively to take him out. There's no singular hitman who can wipe out John Wick.
Viggo's "Oh" is one of the greatest responses in all film. Aurelio's answer radically altered the tone and direction of the film. You can almost feel the brick that Viggo shat.
That "Oh" was also an excellent way to show much he respected John skills. No flashbacks, talking about much people he killed, who trained him etc. - it does not matter. John is like a force of nature and that "oh" was one of ways to show this.
I'm pretty sure they snapped the dog's neck. I think they dragged it's dead body over to in front of his face so when he woke up, it would be the first thing he saw.
"These are bad people he's killing, right?" Everyone in this movie can be considered a "bad" person, even John Wick. John is what's known as an anti-hero and he might be the best one in movies for decades.
I'd generally consider Marcus an anti-hero as well, just not the main protagonist of this story. Might be others, but few were on-screen enough in this first installment to make the call...and I don't want to risk spoiling the later movies for anyone. Not that I give a shit about spoilers at all, let alone years later, but I can't stand whiny bastards who complain about spoilers.
When I first saw this I said as much in a tweet @ some of the cast. John Leguizamo (Aurelio) replied, saying he was glad I enjoyed the film. Made my week lol
John Wick is not an anti-hero at all, he's a vilain, plain and simple. He's killing bad people but he's worst than them. We just like him because we see the movie from his perspective.
@@phellips10 You literally just defined "anti-hero". An antihero (sometimes spelled as anti-hero) or antiheroine is a main character in a story who lacks conventional heroic qualities and attributes, such as idealism, courage, and morality.

No, but close. In my opinion, the funniest was when Vigo's hit men forced their way into John Wick's house and the fighting started: "Oh no! It's his house! He's going to make a mess!"
That part with him just driving in the parking lot, it hits me. That’s how he grieves. He’s just so frustrated at his own powerlessness, that there was nothing he could do, he just needs to be somewhere where he can scream and feel something other than pain and loneliness.
Ballet is how Arnold Schwarzenegger set himself apart in the Mister Universe contest. It's now considered required training because of Arnold's standard.
I think public opinion slowly shifted on Keanu. He went from the perception that he's deadpan and underplays everything, in a way that was easy to mock to people loving his understated coolness, backed up by him being a super nice guy in real life.
He made some poor choices earlier on in terms of choosing movie roles that don't really play up to his strengths and accentuated his weakness (like trying to play super emotional characters or different accents), but eventually I think he started being very particular about what roles he played and we started seeing him accentuate his strengths because of that.
Agree.people will never put him as one the greatest actors but,I do to think more of the fans but even the critics have come to appreciate him & maybe daresay career.
You forgot the 'he stole John Wick's car', but Vigo's reaction is beautiful once you have seen the movie once. You fully understand that Vigo is saying: 'Oh... Fuuuuuck we're soooo deeeaaaad. Why did I ever get my wife pregnant?' The emotion in that single 'Oh' is fully understandable with John Wick being who he is.
i suspect many men's thinking behind this, in the case of this specific movie is "hey, this emotionally hit me. maybe she'll like it too, since she's always so emotional"
Yeah, he was also great in the swedish "Millennium"-trilogy (which first part is the original "Girl With The Dragon Tattoo"). That was his international breakthrough performance. It's strange though, that in almost all american movies that he was in, he portrayed villains, whereas in "Millennium" he was the hero. But I have to say, as a villain he was definitely better. In "John Wick" he was truly scary.
"The name of the movie is John Wick, which isn't the catchiest title for a movie". Very true....but by the end of the movie the viewer knows the only title for that movie could be......'John Wick'.
It was gonna be named something else but Keanu kept referring to it as John Wick in all of his interviews promoting the film and the guys in charge were like “free advertising” and changed the name of the film.
"How did he learn to fight and shoot like this?" Look up behind the scenes of the movie, Keanu's training. Basically mostly the same as Wick would have to go through, since... yeah, he went through actual training to actually be able to do all this stuff. Another of the reasons why people adore Keanu.
He has a few haters purely because some people need to hate the nice people. But in terms of actually doing things to earn haters, yes he has done nothing to truly earn haters. The absolutely most beautiful soul of a man!!!
@@teslainvestah5003 Your username sounds like you invest in Tesla. Aren't you worried about their horribly polluting and environmentally unfriendly production? (Not to mention how they treat their workers which is stone-age compared to the proper car companies)
This movie deserves an oscar for showing the protaganist reloading onscreen. Thank Taran Tactical for training Keanu Reeves to be the number 1 celebrity civilian weapons expert.
Keanu's weapons handling skills are amazing. He's now a serious 3 gun competitor in real life. His shooting style is more competition than combat, but the guy uses guns like he was born holding one.
I love when the bad guys have someone/something they genuinely fear. I loved this movie from the moment when Viggo calls the auto shop guy. When you strike a mob bosses son and he calls and asks you why and his response to your answer is simply “oh”, oh man oh boy. I don’t know what that feeling is called but it is exciting!
Two important things 1. The dog he saves in the end from the shelter was going to be put down and that's why wick "stole" the pit bull from the shelter 2. Keanu in real life did like 90% of the stunts himself and all the martial arts and shooting skills you see in the movie, Keanu can do in real life and has trained to do.
@@tapoemt3995 i mean pet stores would probably label the cages of animals that's gonna be put down, or something of the sort. It's not like they are just gonna keep such things in their mind and risk killing the wrong animal.
Never thought I’d enjoy watching someone who doesn’t like violent action movies watch them yet here I am smiling ear to ear 😂 the commentary is everything
Ok where to start lol A) LOVE that this was your husband's suggestion. B) "I hate watching fighting" made me giggle C) The dog he saved at the end, he looked at the tags, it was going to be put down the next day. Loved the reaction!
He’s an average actor who, through making outstanding career choices, has become a beloved movie star. Plus bonus points for being a really nice person who is loyal and actually gives a shit about things and people around him.
He's like the serene version of Nicolas Cage. Amazing in some Films and way too overly chill in others. (Both share amazing comic timing, tho') Dracula, however, is an unforgivably bad performance. But sweet Keanu is far from "average".
@@charminbaer2323 As a lover of the original unabridged Bram Stoker classic, it's the most hyperbolic sham ever committed to Film. So much is exaggerated for dramatic effect, often in a hypersexualized nature, while other parts are so wholly made up that it's laughable. But a visual feast, nonetheless. It is to the Bram/Drac' Legacy what the Hot Shots! Films are to the 'First Blood' action-thriller novel by David Morrell.
@@Cyborganna to me it's just that bad directing can ruin good actors. They're both clearly good, if not great, but a bad director, or even a bad script, can really make any actor put on a horrible performance.
Your husband requested this? He's a savage, I like him! 😂 John Wick is one of the best action movies in recent memory. I remember someone likened all the shooting to using bullets as strikes, as in a martial arts movie; very good metaphor.
Love that phone call between Aurelio and Viggo. The mob boss realized Aurelio was in the right. Pretty much set the tone of who John Wick is. Giving Francis the night off was real professional courtesy
@@mickeymacrae1589 When converted to kg from lbs, yes. But I think so long as Francis wasn't a dick about it, John probably would've let him go. He probably does his job well, but that's like a level 5 city guard/thug versus a level 20 assassin. You just nod and wave and walk the fuck away.
To be honest, that line isn't that original. And something like that was shown earlier in movies ("The Dark Knight", anyone?). Don't get me wrong, I still like "John Wick" very much. But I don't get why the fans recite this line so often. It's not that great.
@@gabe6550 it’s mostly the delivery, and it cements the uniqueness of this movie building the protagonist instead of the antagonist. When he tells his son about the pencil fight he also is telling us
The most effective way to make the audience know how badass a character is, it so make their enemies to talk about it. It was done to perfection in this movie.
@@xerxeszero586 The coins aren't about monetary worth. They're a token that says "I'm in the club. I know the rules. I'm entitled to services." That's why you can spend a single coin on a drink, or to have a body disposed of. Like they say in JW3. It's a social contract.
I like to think that if a prequel is ever made, itll show a really young John Wick being taken under the wing of a not that much older Marcus, at the ballet school
You surprised me. Not only did you make it thru the whole movie, you caught on to some stuff faster than I thought. This is one of my all time Best movie series. And that is because of the amount of training and practice EVERYBODY did to make the movies so good and still safe to film. Amazing. And Keanu, he does all of the training and the practice. I would want to fall on his bad side somehow. He is a nice guy, but he KNOWS all the things that he learns and practices. So,,,,, yeah. He could become a VERY Bad Man if he ever wanted to. And that, that scares me. He is a sleeper. Great reactions to a film that really wasn't one of your favs I guess,but you gave it the respect it deserves. Thanks for sharing. (if you're bored, try 2 and 3. LOL. I want there to be a 4th one too)
He's not an actor with huge range, he is an actor with immense presence. That is what makes his performances good. I think he chooses very carefully too, staying within his abilities.
You should check out Denzel Washington’s “Man on Fire.” The character arc of the protagonist and the means he uses to exact his retribution will have you both crying and cheering at the end.
Imagine being Willem Dafoe, and being one of the most respected actors of our time just to one day stumble across this channel and hear her say " he's from Spiderman right?" Lol brutal
Certainly a surprise to see you watching John Wick. I did enjoy this movie quite a bit. I think it has to be appreciated as choreography. A form of dance. I personally like the third movie the most.. it is the most imaginative and creative. It's still the same idea though a ballet of death. But really amazing.
You didn't just watch "an" action movie, you watched "the" action movie of the past few years. If you're going to dip into genres you don't really care for, you might as well watch the best they have to offer!
Between this and it's sequels, Mad Max: Fury Road and both The Raid movies, the 2010s were amazing for action fans. I couldn't pick which one of those I like best. And even some action movies that don't quite reach that level like Dredd, Mission Impossible Fallout or Kingsman: The Secret Service are really damn good.
Iv’e been trying to recommend John Cusack movies to other reactors. Grosse Point Blank. Better Off Dead and One Crazy Summer to set up Hot Tub Time Machine. Also 1408 for a thriller!!
Keanu was and still is a very under-rated actor/artist. I remember being in school [esp during matrix sequels] and confused at all the inane criticisms of Keanu and am like, are you watching the same film i am? even the sisters got panned esp for the sequels - so all the loser/haters can be just that. I love that trilogy so much and Keanu as the one most of all
No matter. Globalization allows for this in real life too so my suspension of disbelief isn't broken. [That's a bunch of words for "a Swedish man can know Russian and belong to a Russian family"]
I always find it amusing that most of the guys who are the best competitive shooters, and teach Special Forces and other elite forces shooting, and are peak athletes in their sports, all have either massive dad bod physiques, or look like a random grandpa.
@@rwxstudio7173 Keanu puts the work in for sure. He has been a practicing martial artist since training for the Matrix, so the firearms training is just another layer. I almost think he takes roles to get paid to learn new skills.
The simple revenge plot is what made it so popular when it came out, it harkens back to the simpler action movies of the 80's/90's but with a modern flair, it appealed to the older audience but found a new audience too and really took off.
I cant wait till John Wick 4. Keanu is a awesome person and the fact he trained for so long to be able to actually shoot like that shows his dedication
"I'm not going to get over that dog." Those of us who really enjoy this series have also not gotten over Daisy's death. It's good of you to branch out and try new genres, but I had a feeling this wouldn't be your cup of tea. But i always enjoy your viewings!
Even funnier, the actor who played Iosef spent a lot of time spoiling Daisy because he felt so bad having to kill her. Sounds like a nice guy who does a good job playing a scudzball.
You have to remember Neo is "the one", this was Keanu's return to being an action star and the manner in which they portrayed the action was very Neo esque minus the bullet time cameras and the wire work.
I really enjoy your sincerity when you say when you like something or not so much, RUclips is full of people reacting to movies or series and I consider that your reactions are the most entertaining and honest
Your reaction was super fun to watch, I read somewhere that keanu really related to the character of John Wick because he too lost his girlfriend to an accident many years back and that affected him a whole lot on an emotional level. This movie in a way was his tribute to that and also shot his fame up internationally.
@@GamersOdyssey oh yeah I forgot about speed. John Wick has him with the resurgence of his popularity and certainly got him typecast as a ultra violent anti hero character actor.
Love John Wick. The song in the nightclub THINK by KALEIDA is just such a good song. Excellent And yeah, everyone disserved what they got for the death of that dog
Having lost my wife to cancer, any movie with scenes of loss like this one opens with always hit me hard. And to have that open for an action flick took me off guard - it took a while to reset I do confess. EDIT: And this was not a very good recommendation for our hostess I think.
For me, among countless wondrous moments, the keystone of the worldbuilding here is the 38 second face-to-face with Jimmy, his tone, his hat removal, the subtle change in his expression from 'pro forma' "just checking in because there's a noise complaint I gotta follow up on" to "OK, John is working - this is way AMPG."
"I don't like watching fighting" Everybody watching, "Buckle up Buttercup" Viggo: " I heard you struck my son. May I ask why?" Aurelio: " Yeah, well, because he stole John Wicks car sir, and, uh, killed his dog." Viggo: " Oh." Best one word line ever. Thanks for sharing your reaction.
No you are not the only one Logan. I'm a big fan of these movies and that knife scene grossed me out. It was just too much, even for a Wick film. I hope this poor girl doesn't watch that one.
Its that little pause he gives before he tells him his name, vigo got my attention right there, after that , i just sat and listened, while he told him, i stayed focus on every word. Great scene, one my favourites from that film!
Keanu is one of the kindest most humble people on earth. No one hates him.

Also he has had a ton of tragedy in his life and he’s really inspirational.
He made some poor choices earlier on in terms of choosing movie roles that don't really play up to his strengths and accentuated his weakness (like trying to play super emotional characters or different accents), but eventually I think he started being very particular about what roles he played and we started seeing him accentuate his strengths because of that.
Agree.people will never put him as one the greatest actors but,I do to think more of the fans but even the critics have come to appreciate him & maybe daresay career.
That "woah dude" Johnathan next to Gary Oldman in Dracula wasn't really helping that perception lol...
don't forget the sheer effin' commitment ;)
"he's like a superhero, with a lot of guns..."
Indeed, lady. Indeed.
"Oh my gosh! I don't like watching fighting!"
You're in luck, there's no fighting here, only olympic-level ballet of death.
"Olympic level ballet of death" sounds like the classiest badass term. I love it and you are a genius!
@MidnightSt
At 9:00 she says "I dont like watching fighting", and I just broke out full belly laughing. Like WOW, you are in for a LOOOOONG movie haha.
"Why did you strike my son?"
"Because he killed John Wick's dog!"
"...Oh."
i was missing the "...completely understandable.." part
You forgot the 'he stole John Wick's car', but Vigo's reaction is beautiful once you have seen the movie once. You fully understand that Vigo is saying: 'Oh... Fuuuuuck we're soooo deeeaaaad. Why did I ever get my wife pregnant?' The emotion in that single 'Oh' is fully understandable with John Wick being who he is.
"oh my gosh! i don't like watching fighting "
"he has a very punchable face"
She's not wrong....
@@3Rayfire Yeah. Theon kinda does...
The thing to remember is that Keanu did almost all his stunts and fighting and driving
And did extensive firearms training. He’s a competition level shooter.
Don't forget he also killed everyone himself too
Keanu is also REALLY proficient with firearms in real life, his training routine is mind blowing. I really enjoy your reaction video's.
Gods, I sobbed like a baby for the opening of this, that the puppy dragged itself over to him to die cuddled up just killed me.
Im guessing the rest of the film was VERY cathartic for you.
The fact that her husband, who obviously knows her as well as anyone could, recommended she watch this, makes it all even more funny.
I’d like to imagine he told her it was the feel good comedy hit of the year it was released. 🤣
“It’s about a man and his dog”
My wife love trying to push bloody movies on her mom, who hates blood and gore.
i suspect many men's thinking behind this, in the case of this specific movie is "hey, this emotionally hit me. maybe she'll like it too, since she's always so emotional"
@@LordHoth_90 Hey! that's an old cult movie she could watch, "A Boy and HIs Dog"
Rest in peace Mikael Nyqvist. Spectacular actor and this is without a doubt one of his most iconic performances.
Indeed, and I thought he was terrific in Ghost Protocol as well.
Yeah, he was also great in the swedish "Millennium"-trilogy (which first part is the original "Girl With The Dragon Tattoo"). That was his international breakthrough performance. It's strange though, that in almost all american movies that he was in, he portrayed villains, whereas in "Millennium" he was the hero. But I have to say, as a villain he was definitely better. In "John Wick" he was truly scary.
Shit I didn't even know he died. He was always good in everything. He knocked the role out of park here.
@@gabe6550 I adored him as Blomkvist. He and Noomi were leaps and bounds above Daniel Craig and Rooney Mara.
@@kissmy_butt1302 Lung cancer :( So I hope that Keanu will someday quit too.

"The name of the movie is John Wick, which isn't the catchiest title for a movie". Very true....but by the end of the movie the viewer knows the only title for that movie could be......'John Wick'.
It was gonna be named something else but Keanu kept referring to it as John Wick in all of his interviews promoting the film and the guys in charge were like “free advertising” and changed the name of the film.
"How did he learn to fight and shoot like this?"
Look up behind the scenes of the movie, Keanu's training. Basically mostly the same as Wick would have to go through, since... yeah, he went through actual training to actually be able to do all this stuff. Another of the reasons why people adore Keanu.
There is even a video from Taran Tactical that shows Keanu at the gun range with Halle Barry.
Fun Fact: The Doctor is played by Randall Duk Kim, who also played The Keymaker from the Matrix: Reloaded.
Keanu is literally the nicest guy in Hollywood, the only person I know with zero haters....
He has a few haters purely because some people need to hate the nice people.
But in terms of actually doing things to earn haters, yes he has done nothing to truly earn haters.
The absolutely most beautiful soul of a man!!!
I hate that I can not shake his hand
Zach Braff hates him because he takes all the roles he'd want
I worry about his association with peta. I wish he knew better.
Couldn't hate him though. He's still a wonderful person.
@@teslainvestah5003 Your username sounds like you invest in Tesla. Aren't you worried about their horribly polluting and environmentally unfriendly production? (Not to mention how they treat their workers which is stone-age compared to the proper car companies)
This movie deserves an oscar for showing the protaganist reloading onscreen.
Thank Taran Tactical for training Keanu Reeves to be the number 1 celebrity civilian weapons expert.
Keanu's weapons handling skills are amazing. He's now a serious 3 gun competitor in real life. His shooting style is more competition than combat, but the guy uses guns like he was born holding one.
Ff
and Gracie brothers for teaching him jujitsu
@@Mortablunt truth...
I love it. "He's killing so many people." John Wick " Ehh it's a Tuesday."
I love when the bad guys have someone/something they genuinely fear. I loved this movie from the moment when Viggo calls the auto shop guy. When you strike a mob bosses son and he calls and asks you why and his response to your answer is simply “oh”, oh man oh boy. I don’t know what that feeling is called but it is exciting!
Two important things
1. The dog he saves in the end from the shelter was going to be put down and that's why wick "stole" the pit bull from the shelter
2. Keanu in real life did like 90% of the stunts himself and all the martial arts and shooting skills you see in the movie, Keanu can do in real life and has trained to do.
How did he know it was being put down? I heard the Family lost him and they were coming to pick him up the next day...
@@tapoemt3995 i mean pet stores would probably label the cages of animals that's gonna be put down, or something of the sort. It's not like they are just gonna keep such things in their mind and risk killing the wrong animal.
@@tapoemt3995 it was on the clipboard next to his cage. The dog was going to be euthanized.
@Jay Ryan but he can sure as shit shoot like that in real life.....
@Jay Ryan he can certainly shoot like in the movie. There are videos on RUclips of him training. Real guns, live rounds.
Keanu said no to his entire pay on matrix and split it between the cast helpers because he thought they were paid to little... He is a GEM!!!
on Matrix Reloaded I think
I always like that out of all the death in this movie, the one that everyone hates the most (me included) is the dog.
There is an unspoken rule in Hollywood, don’t harm kids or animals. It tends to bum audiences out.
@@Psilocybin77 Sadness and then rage.
Never thought I’d enjoy watching someone who doesn’t like violent action movies watch them yet here I am smiling ear to ear 😂 the commentary is everything
Ok where to start lol A) LOVE that this was your husband's suggestion. B) "I hate watching fighting" made me giggle C) The dog he saved at the end, he looked at the tags, it was going to be put down the next day. Loved the reaction!
"What does John Wick do?"
Oh, my sweet summer child...
ROTFL
He uses a pencil on occasion 🙂
What would you say….ya do here?
@@ps5392 Arrange for...dinner reservations...
As to "Who's John Wick?" To paraphrase another great movie, "He's an artist and this was his masterpiece"...
Another fantastic movie. Walken delivered that line perfectly.
I understood that refrence 😂😂
"He's an artist who only paints in red..."
"I'm not gonna get over that Dog"
Neither will he.
He’s an average actor who, through making outstanding career choices, has become a beloved movie star. Plus bonus points for being a really nice person who is loyal and actually gives a shit about things and people around him.
He's like the serene version of Nicolas Cage. Amazing in some Films and way too overly chill in others. (Both share amazing comic timing, tho')
Dracula, however, is an unforgivably bad performance. But sweet Keanu is far from "average".
@@Cyborganna Bram Stoker's Dracula is the best Dracula movie ever, even with Keanu's horrible acting in it.
@@charminbaer2323 As a lover of the original unabridged Bram Stoker classic, it's the most hyperbolic sham ever committed to Film. So much is exaggerated for dramatic effect, often in a hypersexualized nature, while other parts are so wholly made up that it's laughable. But a visual feast, nonetheless.
It is to the Bram/Drac' Legacy what the Hot Shots! Films are to the 'First Blood' action-thriller novel by David Morrell.
@@Cyborganna ah Hot Shots, classic masterpieces too!
@@Cyborganna to me it's just that bad directing can ruin good actors. They're both clearly good, if not great, but a bad director, or even a bad script, can really make any actor put on a horrible performance.
"This is his house, he's gonna make a mess!" HAHAHA perfect response
"I don't like watching fighting."
Sister, you started the wrong movie franchise.
RUclips męskie granie
Your husband requested this? He's a savage, I like him! 😂
John Wick is one of the best action movies in recent memory. I remember someone likened all the shooting to using bullets as strikes, as in a martial arts movie; very good metaphor.
Love that phone call between Aurelio and Viggo. The mob boss realized Aurelio was in the right. Pretty much set the tone of who John Wick is.
Giving Francis the night off was real professional courtesy
Cause he told him how many guys were in there (the pounds was the armed guy count)
@@mickeymacrae1589 When converted to kg from lbs, yes. But I think so long as Francis wasn't a dick about it, John probably would've let him go. He probably does his job well, but that's like a level 5 city guard/thug versus a level 20 assassin. You just nod and wave and walk the fuck away.
@@DoremiFasolatido1979 Francis, and Jimmy the cop are the smartest people in the movie.
"I once saw him kill three men in a bar with a pencil...a...f******...pencil..."
Never gets old lol
And haha in another Chapter he shows us how to use a pencil to kill people...
To be honest, that line isn't that original. And something like that was shown earlier in movies ("The Dark Knight", anyone?). Don't get me wrong, I still like "John Wick" very much. But I don't get why the fans recite this line so often. It's not that great.
@@gabe6550 it’s mostly the delivery, and it cements the uniqueness of this movie building the protagonist instead of the antagonist. When he tells his son about the pencil fight he also is telling us
"Does everyone think he is amazing actor- or does everyone make fun of him as an actor?"
Yes.
"They know he's coming?" That's John Wick, it doesn't matter if they know he is coming or not.
The most effective way to make the audience know how badass a character is, it so make their enemies to talk about it.
It was done to perfection in this movie.
If the people who have no issue with violence, murder, etc, respect/fear him...
The gold coins are payment for services rendered. A form of payment for that world. And John is a legendary hitman in that world.
Yeah and everyone's coins arent worth the same tho
@@xerxeszero586 The coins aren't about monetary worth. They're a token that says "I'm in the club. I know the rules. I'm entitled to services." That's why you can spend a single coin on a drink, or to have a body disposed of.
Like they say in JW3. It's a social contract.
I like to think that if a prequel is ever made, itll show a really young John Wick being taken under the wing of a not that much older Marcus, at the ballet school
@@chipdirk9278 ohhhhhh but they'd never do that tho sadly
'I don't like watching fighting'
Starts watching John Wick 😜
Her husband recommended it so blame it him
You surprised me. Not only did you make it thru the whole movie, you caught on to some stuff faster than I thought. This is one of my all time Best movie series. And that is because of the amount of training and practice EVERYBODY did to make the movies so good and still safe to film. Amazing. And Keanu, he does all of the training and the practice. I would want to fall on his bad side somehow. He is a nice guy, but he KNOWS all the things that he learns and practices. So,,,,, yeah. He could become a VERY Bad Man if he ever wanted to. And that, that scares me. He is a sleeper. Great reactions to a film that really wasn't one of your favs I guess,but you gave it the respect it deserves. Thanks for sharing. (if you're bored, try 2 and 3. LOL. I want there to be a 4th one too)
He's not an actor with huge range, he is an actor with immense presence. That is what makes his performances good. I think he chooses very carefully too, staying within his abilities.
Really enjoyed this. Keanu is a lovely human. We never get over the dog.
Hello Mrs Lisa how are you doing today.how is the weather going over there..
You never get over John wicks dog like gen xers never got over the death of Artax 😰
You should check out Denzel Washington’s “Man on Fire.” The character arc of the protagonist and the means he uses to exact his retribution will have you both crying and cheering at the end.
I have it ...I watch it every time I need to think more about my lil g
Was man on fire based on true events?
Also recommend Collateral.

Certainly a surprise to see you watching John Wick. I did enjoy this movie quite a bit. I think it has to be appreciated as choreography. A form of dance. I personally like the third movie the most.. it is the most imaginative and creative. It's still the same idea though a ballet of death. But really amazing.
9:00 “I don’t like watching fighting”.
Proceeds to watch the most savage movie ever made.
Wait till she watch the sequels.
You didn't just watch "an" action movie, you watched "the" action movie of the past few years.
If you're going to dip into genres you don't really care for, you might as well watch the best they have to offer!
Between this and it's sequels, Mad Max: Fury Road and both The Raid movies, the 2010s were amazing for action fans. I couldn't pick which one of those I like best. And even some action movies that don't quite reach that level like Dredd, Mission Impossible Fallout or Kingsman: The Secret Service are really damn good.
For a more light-hearted hitman movie, I would like to recommend Grosse Pointe Blank.
Love that movie. More modern movie, Hitman's Bodyguard I also really enjoy.
That's a BRILLIANT suggestion.
Or "I love your work"...
Iv’e been trying to recommend John Cusack movies to other reactors. Grosse Point Blank. Better Off Dead and One Crazy Summer to set up Hot Tub Time Machine. Also 1408 for a thriller!!
"In Bruges" is... light... like a ton of steel vs a ton of feathers. Probably lots of heart too.
Keanu was and still is a very under-rated actor/artist.
I remember being in school [esp during matrix sequels] and confused at all the inane criticisms of Keanu and am like, are you watching the same film i am?
even the sisters got panned esp for the sequels - so all the loser/haters can be just that. I love that trilogy so much and Keanu as the one most of all

I love how in both movies the "Russian boss" is played by a Swedish actor.
RIP Micke Nyqvist
No matter. Globalization allows for this in real life too so my suspension of disbelief isn't broken.
[That's a bunch of words for "a Swedish man can know Russian and belong to a Russian family"]
"How did he learn to fight and shoot like this?"...Taran Tactical
I always find it amusing that most of the guys who are the best competitive shooters, and teach Special Forces and other elite forces shooting, and are peak athletes in their sports, all have either massive dad bod physiques, or look like a random grandpa.
Actual combat training before each movie shoot helps a lot.
@@rwxstudio7173 Keanu puts the work in for sure. He has been a practicing martial artist since training for the Matrix, so the firearms training is just another layer. I almost think he takes roles to get paid to learn new skills.
Nope. He was programmed way back in the 90s with all sorts of killing shit.
@@MandoWookie And he usually takes a pay cut as well so the money (and love) gets spread throughout the rest of the crew.
The simple revenge plot is what made it so popular when it came out, it harkens back to the simpler action movies of the 80's/90's but with a modern flair, it appealed to the older audience but found a new audience too and really took off.
Keanu - it's not so much that he's an amazing actor, it's more about him being an amazing person (it seems).
"That seems like cheating."
First rule of real fighting: Win at all costs. Cheat if neccesary.
And dont think that the opponent is Off just only bec he is on the ground (so headshot him to be sure.)
Or as John Reacher says, get your retribution in first.
"this is his house he's gonna make a mess!"
Omg she's so pure.
I cant wait till John Wick 4. Keanu is a awesome person and the fact he trained for so long to be able to actually shoot like that shows his dedication
"I'm not going to get over that dog." Those of us who really enjoy this series have also not gotten over Daisy's death.
It's good of you to branch out and try new genres, but I had a feeling this wouldn't be your cup of tea. But i always enjoy your viewings!
Even funnier, the actor who played Iosef spent a lot of time spoiling Daisy because he felt so bad having to kill her.
Sounds like a nice guy who does a good job playing a scudzball.
For reference, NO ONE gets over the dog. Through all 3 movies (and the 4th one coming)
First thought when I saw the thumbnail is "shame on her patrons for making her watch what happens to Daisy"
Keanu Reeves lost his girlfriend and child in the past. It was quite tragic. So this is movie has emotion as I think only Mr. Reeves could act.
You have to remember Neo is "the one", this was Keanu's return to being an action star and the manner in which they portrayed the action was very Neo esque minus the bullet time cameras and the wire work.
All the way through this reaction, I'm sitting here thinking to myself "she's far too innocent to be watching these movies."
I was right, too.
I really enjoy your sincerity when you say when you like something or not so much, RUclips is full of people reacting to movies or series and I consider that your reactions are the most entertaining and honest
Oh the tears at the start and the shocked faces that will come after.
"What does he do, to have all this nice stuff"
Audience: Just you wait.
Your reaction was super fun to watch, I read somewhere that keanu really related to the character of John Wick because he too lost his girlfriend to an accident many years back and that affected him a whole lot on an emotional level. This movie in a way was his tribute to that and also shot his fame up internationally.
Speed and matrix shot his fame internationaly
@@GamersOdyssey oh yeah I forgot about speed. John Wick has him with the resurgence of his popularity and certainly got him typecast as a ultra violent anti hero character actor.
Best reaction to a movie ever. So honest. Well done for getting through it. And to understand what went down.
Love John Wick. The song in the nightclub THINK by KALEIDA is just such a good song. Excellent
And yeah, everyone disserved what they got for the death of that dog
Having lost my wife to cancer, any movie with scenes of loss like this one opens with always hit me hard. And to have that open for an action flick took me off guard - it took a while to reset I do confess.
EDIT: And this was not a very good recommendation for our hostess I think.
"I'm not gonna get over that dog"
Neither is he
Your reaction was different than mine. I swear, once they killed the puppy I was 100% on team Wick.
This guy gets it.
Immediately
That was the point of killing the puppy. Would you have supported Wick if they didn’t kill the puppy??
For me, among countless wondrous moments, the keystone of the worldbuilding here is the 38 second face-to-face with Jimmy, his tone, his hat removal, the subtle change in his expression from 'pro forma' "just checking in because there's a noise complaint I gotta follow up on" to "OK, John is working - this is way AMPG."
"I don't like watching fighting"
Everybody watching, "Buckle up Buttercup"
Viggo: " I heard you struck my son. May I ask why?"
Aurelio: " Yeah, well, because he stole John Wicks car sir, and, uh, killed his dog."
Viggo: " Oh."
Best one word line ever.
Thanks for sharing your reaction.
Am I the only one who thought of the Wick 3 knife scene when she said, "I don't like fighting"
No you are not the only one Logan. I'm a big fan of these movies and that knife scene grossed me out. It was just too much, even for a Wick film. I hope this poor girl doesn't watch that one.
Between watching this an Band Of Brothers, I’d watch a comedy or two before you start The Pacific
And in-between a few episodes, I felt like I needed a smoke after a few of them, and I don't even smoke lol.
"They know he's coming."
That doesn't matter.
"It's his house, he's gonna make a mess." - the best wick reaction comment I've heard.
Its that little pause he gives before he tells him his name, vigo got my attention right there, after that , i just sat and listened, while he told him, i stayed focus on every word. Great scene, one my favourites from that film!
