John Wick:
John Wick, later known as John Wick: Chapter 1, is a 2014 American neo-noir gun fu action film directed by Chad Stahelski and David Leitch from a screenplay by Derek Kolstad. Stahelski and Leitch's approach to action scenes drew upon their admiration for anime and martial arts films.
The film used fight choreographers and gun fu techniques from Hong Kong action cinema. The film also pays homage to works such as John Woo's The Killer, Jean-Pierre Melville's Le Cercle Rouge and Le Samouraï, John Boorman's Point Blank, and the spaghetti western subgenre of Western films.
The film was met with positive reviews, with critics calling it one of Reeves' best performances and one of the best action films of 2014.
