John Wick, 15

Gruesome but distinctly moving, this film focuses on the grief of a hired assassin in the wake of the death of his beautiful young wife.

When a sadistic thug breaks into his home and reawakens the anger inside him, this film plunges into exploring the underworld of crime, awakening a savagery in him unparalleled in this brutal society.

Will he find humanity again or will his violence consume him?

Starring Keanu Reeves, this is a dark, drama filled film that is both haunting and moving.

Did you know? The name John Wick is a name the director, Derek Kolstad, had used as a reference to his grandfather, the founder of Wick Building Systems.

Is it for me? If you liked Die Hard, this is similar but with much less humour. If you hate violence, this isn’t for you.

Running time: 113 minutes
