Chapter 95: The Coolest Assassin in Film History! The Revenge from John Wick!
Revenge!
John Wick's cold, murderous gaze says it all!
The audience in the theater feels nothing but sympathy for John Wick — and equal hatred for those thugs!
The man had barely managed to find a reason to keep living,
and you wiped it out just like that?
Stealing his car is one thing, but you wouldn't even spare a dog?
All because John Wick talked back to him once?
I'm furious!!
Rage!
A fierce fury is compressed deep inside his chest!
Waiting for a chance to erupt!
Anyone who saw the trailer naturally knows that John Wick's time for revenge is next.
But many viewers hadn't seen the trailer,
and from what just played out, John Wick was ambushed and fell to the ground like any ordinary person.
A pack of small-time thugs could kick and beat him around.
Now those men have returned to their own turf, with countless underlings at their beck and call.
John Wick is all alone — how can he possibly take on so many mobsters?
Meanwhile, the thugs who stole the car have already driven it to a chop shop,
intending to grind off the original vehicle information and put it under his own name.
It's his usual M. O. — a real-life GTA player.
But the moment the chop shop owner laid eyes on the car, his face changed drastically!
A Ford Mustang Boss 429!
Such a familiar car!
"Where the hell did you get this car?"
……
With his other ride wrecked and blood still streaked across his face, John Wick takes the bus to the chop shop like it's second nature.
Inside, the chop shop owner raises a glass, as if he's been waiting a long time.
The two clearly know each other; there's no small talk — the owner simply pours John Wick a drink.
"Here?"
"He was. Iosef did it."
"Vig's son."
The protagonist, John Wick, seems to know this gang inside and out — he knows the thug who killed the puppy is the boss's son.
"Mr., your son stole John Wick's car and killed his dog."
The chop shop owner calls the gang boss to deliver the news.
Gang boss Vig's heart sinks.
"Oh."
It seems everyone except the small-time thugs knows exactly what John Wick is capable of.
This also makes the audience very curious.
Could the ambushed John Wick actually be some formidable figure?
The film uses these little side details to slowly peel back the mystery of John Wick.
It's already been 21 minutes since the opening, and aside from that ambush, there hasn't been a single action scene.
If this were any other popcorn movie, wouldn't the opening have to deliver a big set piece?
Blow up a plane, blow up a building, or at the very least blow up a car?
John Wick has none of that — the protagonist even got beaten up like an ordinary person.
The action scenes have no choreography at all — it's nothing but chaotic street brawling.
Where's the R-rated action blockbuster they were hyping all year?
Still, questions aside, neither the audience nor the critics felt any urge to head to the bathroom.
Thanks to Xu Can's flawless acting and the sharp, cutting cinematography,
the characters and emotions set up in the opening are already perfectly in place, and that pent-up, directionless fury keeps tightening its grip!
All waiting for the moment it's pushed to the absolute breaking point!
Eruption!
"Vig, they agreed to your terms. Congratulations... Mr. Vig?"
A core member of the gang brings the good news, but boss Vig shows no reaction at all.
His son strolls in with a smug grin, completely oblivious to what's about to happen.
It's just a stolen car and a dead dog — he's done this sort of thing a hundred times.
But the moment they come face to face, boss Vig lands a brutal punch on his good-for-nothing son.
"You did something stupid."
"It's just a car."
"The car doesn't matter. What matters is who owns it."
"Who? Some nobody."
"That nobody is John Wick."
Even at the mere mention of that name, the omnipotent mob boss Viggo was trembling.
