John Wick 2014
This review may contain spoilers. I can handle the truth.
This movie is a masterclass of how to write a terrifying protagonist. It starts off unassuming enough with our title character John Wick (Keanu Reeves) having just been faced with the tragic loss of his wife and to process that grief, she mails him an adorable little puppy to care for in her absence.
