Non provocarlo
Dopo la morte dell'amata moglie, il leggendario ex assassino John Wick (Keanu Reeves) trascorre le giornate a rimettere in sesto la sua Ford Mustang del 1969 e con la sola compagnia del cane Daisy. La sua esistenza scivola via senza intoppi fino a quando un sadico delinquente di nome Yosef Tarasof nota la sua auto. Non accettando il rifiuto di venderla di Wick, Yosef manda due suoi complici a rubare la macchina e a uccidere brutalmente Daisy. Da quel momento, John si mette sulle tracce del criminale a New York, scoprendo di avere a che fare con l'unico figlio del boss della mala Viggo Tarasof. Quando in breve tempo per la città si diffonde la voce che John è in cerca di Yosef per vendicarsi, Viggo mette sulla sua testa una grande ricompensa, che attira tutti gli assassini in circolazione.

Keanu Reeves
John Wick
Keanu Reeves delivers a tour de force performance as the titular character in "John Wick," a film that revitalized the action genre and showcased Reeves's enduring talent for physically demanding roles. His portrayal of the legendary hitman is both intense and nuanced; he embodies John Wick's stoic demeanor and simmering rage with a quiet intensity that speaks volumes without unnecessary exposition. Reeves' mastery of martial arts and gun-fu is on full display as he executes intricate fight choreography with a balletic grace that is as mesmerizing as it is deadly. His commitment to authenticity in these scenes, combined with the emotional depth he brings to the role—particularly in moments of vulnerability surrounding the loss of his wife and the few glimpses of tenderness he shows—create a complex character that is both a ruthless killing machine and a man driven by deep personal loss. Reeves' performance as John Wick is not just about the physicality of action scenes; it's also about the subtlety with which he conveys the character's inner turmoil, making audiences empathize with him even as he cuts a swath of vengeance through the criminal underworld.
Willem Dafoe
Marcus
Willem Dafoe's portrayal of Marcus in "John Wick" is a standout performance that adds depth and complexity to the film's narrative. As the seasoned hitman and reluctant mentor to the titular character, Dafoe brings a sense of gravitas and subtlety to the role. His nuanced portrayal of Marcus, who is torn between loyalty to his former colleague and the unspoken code of the underworld, showcases his exceptional ability to convey a character's inner conflict with minimal dialogue. Dafoe's expressive face and intense gaze are used to great effect, particularly in his scenes with Keanu Reeves, where the history and camaraderie between their characters are palpable. His performance is a masterclass in restraint and quiet intensity, offering a compelling counterpoint to the film's explosive action and creating a character that is both enigmatic and deeply human. Dafoe's Marcus emerges as a key figure in the John Wick saga, leaving an indelible mark on the series and its fans.
