John Wick

Published: Aug. 11, 2020, 2 p.m.

This week we are talking about the Keanu Reeves action packed John Wick!!! This will be a three part episode, so the next two episodes will be the sequels.

This is a fantastic action/thriller that I think is a must see franchise. I mean who doesn't love Keanu!!! He's done everything, is honestly one of the hardest working actors in Hollywood and just seems like a genuinely nice guy. This film is all about John Wick getting revenge on the maniacs that killed his dog. I think they totally deserve what's coming to them, I mean who kills a sweet precious puppy. The beagle, Daisy, is so adorable! Can you tell I have two of my own dogs. Sorry to break that story line to you, but now you don't need to go to DoesTheDogDie.com, since you now know, if you haven't seen the film.

This film was written by Derek Kolstad and directed by Chad Stahelski as well as David Leitch, the latter two both got their start in stunts. Along side Keanu Reeves is Michael Nyqvist (Abduction, Mission Impossible: Ghost Protocol), Alfie Allen (Game of Thrones, Cody Banks 2), Willem Dafoe (The Lighthouse, Spider-Man), Dean Winters (SVU, Allstate commercials), Adrianne Palicki (Friday Night Lights, The Orville), Daniel Bernhardt (Atomic Blonde, The Matrix Reloaded), and John Leguizamo (The Pest, Ice Age).
