John Wick is a 2014 American action thriller film directed by Chad Stahelski and written by Derek Kolstad. The film stars Keanu Reeves (pictured) as John Wick, a retired hitman who seeks revenge against the men who killed his dog, a final gift from his deceased wife. It also stars Michael Nyqvist, Alfie Allen, Adrianne Palicki, Bridget Moynahan, Dean Winters, Ian McShane, John Leguizamo, and Willem Dafoe.
