Loading...John Wick is one of those rare movies that grabs you by the balls right from the beginning and does’t let go until the final frame.
A simple story of revenge, raised the bar for action movies. Until John Wick 2 came along and nudged it up a bit more.
A very nice looking steelbook – which we’re told features world exclusive artwork – is on the way to the UK, with a release expected some time in November (TBC) from Zavvi.
Pre-orders aren’t live yet. We’re expecting those to go live at some point in September. We’ll keep you updated on that as well.
Pre-order: Zavvi (link TBC)
When a retired hit man is forced back into action by a brutal Russian mobster, he hunts down his adversaries with the ruthlessness that made him a crime underworld legend in John Wick, a stylish tale of revenge and redemption.
After the sudden death of his beloved wife, John Wick receives one last gift from her, a beagle puppy named Daisy, and a note imploring him not to forget how to love. But John’s mourning is interrupted when his 1969 Boss Mustang catches the eye of sadistic thug Iosef Tarasov who breaks into his house and steals it, beating John unconscious and leaving Daisy dead. Unwittingly, they have just reawakened one of the most brutal assassins the underworld has ever seen.
John’s search for his stolen vehicle takes him to a side of New York City that tourists never see, a hyper-real, super-secret criminal community, where John Wick was once the baddest guy of all.

I knew it would be soon, then John Wick 2.
Yae!
Looks like the German edition. Was always surprised this has never had a UK release yet. Hope they do the second one too!
Just need John wick 2 now ?

?? looks good! But can’t really justify it with my expensive novamedia ones! ?
wow, that turd is considered a modern action classic?
I think you’re in the minority with that opinion. :

if people saw more hong kong action movies i wouldn’t be 🙂 or you don’t even have to search for HK movies, you could just check The Raid 1 or 2. The least spectacular action scene in any Raid movie is better than JW 1&2 combined
While you’re right about The Raid, which are both amazing, that doesn’t make JW a bad film! It’s still good in its own right.
Indeed, given that this was heavily inspired by HK action flicks, and has a number of staff who worked on many of these to help with the choreography in John Wick, its laughable to claim this as a turd, while praising the genre it has been inspired by.
But then I suppose we arent the ones trying to sound like an elitist snob by talking about stuff we obviously don’t know as much about as we’d like others to think…
Matthew Haycock did you even watch Hong Kong action movies? Just because there were some people that worked for HK movies does not mean it’s as good. JW is as boringly repetitive in its action sequences that it hurts

oooohhhh that is Stylish
