The 'John Wick' prequel follows the origin story of Winston Scott (Colin Woodell), the powerful owner of the iconic hotel-for-assassins from the franchise films.

By the second movie I was laughing at how the entire world seemed to be secret super assassins. As if the whole economy revolved around gold coins and killing people. It totally lost any connection to the real world and only got wackier from there.

Great action choreography though.

That's when I just imagined that the John Wick universe was just another level of the Matrix, and it all clicked into place and that aspect of it didn't bother me any more.

I would argue Goslings The Gray Man is done better. Similar type of film but better.
