(2014) | John Wick

The story centers on John Wick's quest for vengeance, which quickly escalates into a "merciless murder-quest" across New York City.

The 2014 film , directed by Chad Stahelski and David Leitch, revitalized the action genre by blending stylized "gun-fu" with a deeply personal revenge narrative. Starring Keanu Reeves as the eponymous retired hitman, the movie follows his violent return to the criminal underworld after the son of a Russian mobster steals his car and kills his puppy—the final gift from his late wife.
