Summary SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT On release in 2014, John Wick was understandably hailed as a game-changer for the action genre.

9 It Takes Longer Than You Think For The Action To Start Close Understandably, the unique selling point of John Wick as a movie and a franchise is its action.

Not only is she one of John Wick's least memorable characters, but her motivations throughout the movie raise serious questions. As subsequent Wick movies establish, breaking Continental rules is one of the most serious offenses it's possible to commit, yet Perkins does it almost without a second thought.
