It’s not difficult to remember that John WICK was released to a lack of expectations, just like Liam Neeson’s debut film, Taken. Filmgoers had become accustomed to the “retired assassin seeking revenge” cliche by 2014, that the added twist of avenging the dead dog seemed more like a parody of this cliche more than anything else. Its trailers weren’t the most awe-inspiring either. Keanu Reeves wasn’t cast, an actor who was, despite his popularity, still reeling from more than a decade of disappointing projects after the Matrix trilogy. Then, of course, everything changed after word…
