John Wick
2014 · Director: Chad Stahelski · US
What it is about
A retired hitman goes back to work after gangsters kill the dog left to him by his late wife.
The fighting in it
The gun-fu style fuses shooting with judo and Brazilian jiu-jitsu — the throws and ground transitions are real, not stylised. Direction by former stuntman Chad Stahelski changed how Hollywood films action.
