The Dog part was worse than though, because the blood trail shows that Daisy was not killed outright, but through pain dragged herself to John, because he was her source of comfort, but he could not give her any because he was unconscious. John woke up seeing this and imagined her fear and pain and himself being helpless yet again when someone he loved was dying. And in this case he could not even be there for her.

also, I could not believe that Alex never caught on that the sniper was Johns friend and helping him out... He saw the girl entering the room and missed to alert John and then he literally killed the person trying to choke John out and left when John was safe.

34:25 this is a technique that's sometimes referred to as "sheathing the blade".

The world building in this movie and the sequels are amazing Keanu has publicly stated he would make Wick movies for as long as fans want They are working on a prequel to the movies. Called "The Continental" and will follow other assassins across the world. Keanu has already stated he will be in a few episodes if they ask and will play Wick as his younger self before meeting the wife. If you want a laugh go look up honest trailers of john wick with the directors.

The thing with Francis outside the Red Circle was code. When John asked if Francis had lost weight, he was really asking how many operatives Viggo had placed in the club to protect Iosef. Because Francis told him without any further trouble, John let him walk. This is why Francis goes on to thank Wick, he was thanking him for sparing his life in that moment, the inevitable shit storm that was to come, or both.

Alex's initial perplexity to how supporting characters in this film react when John Wick's name is mentioned is exactly what the directors, Chad Stahelski and David Leitch, wanted out of the audience. It made John Wick into a standard in the art of cinematic world-building. This movie neither dumbs down everything (by having a narrator explain things) nor does it employ flashbacks that muddle the flow of the plot. The world is presented to the audience in the form of interactions between characters, and the attentive audience is taken on an exhilarating ride through this alive, yet invisible world of assassins.

Francis is telling John there are at least 27 hostiles inside the Red Circle.

The "dinner reservation for twelve" is code for "I need you to come clean up a dozen dead bodies from my home", which, for obvious reasons, you can't just blatantly say over the phone. The coins are the currency that the assassin's guild uses internally. I hate that you missed that Marcus was actually protecting John when he shot his pillow as Perkins was sneaking into his room and when he shot the one guy while John had the bag over his head. Check out the videos of Keanu doing tactical training for these movies. Guns, knives, and martial arts. He learned how to do everything. No gun was shown firing more bullets before reloading than they would actually be able to fire in real life. And that wasn't a "bracelet" we kept seeing. It was the dog's collar.

John didn't let Francis live cause he was nice and really didn't care about how much "weight" he lost. It was code for how many guards were in the club, 60, it's why it was in bold letters. He let Francis live because he gave him important information on the situation he was going to face in the club.

I'm not a big action movie buff, but sometimes I'll put one on just to mindlessly pass time. I did this with Wick, and ended up being surprised by how much the movie impressed me. Usually action scenes are just flashy, totally unrealistic sensory blasts, but I loved the fact that Wick always shoots everyone a minimum of Twice. He makes sure opponents are down and out of the fight. He doesn't kill someone and walk away leaving a perfectly good fully loaded weapon by the corpse when he himself is almost out of ammo. Little details like that make me actually pay attention to the action stuff instead of just letting it roll across my eyes.

the stab thru the bottom of the mouth goes thru the Soft palate/Upper nasal cavitiy (top of mouth) into the brain if you angle more towards the back of the head instead of straight up you hit the medulla which is the "off switch" of the brain.

They smeared bacon grease on Keanu's beard to get the puppy to lick his face. The gold coins are Krugerrands worth about 1.5K, and "dinner reservation for twelve" was code for "I need twelve bodies removed". John asking Francis if he'd lost weight was code for "how many are in the building". Keanu's threat to Viggo before they try to bag him (for another movie that scene always reminds me of, check out Lucky Number Slevin (2006)) is one of those movie moments that makes you feel exactly how much the other people should be scared of him. It's up there with Kurt Russell in Tombstone (1993). Here's this guy who barely speaks, and the one time he does speak at length, you can feel this rising fury.
