Pitch Meeting - Season 5 Episode 49

The first John Wick film starring Keanu Reeves was a surprise hit in 2014. Wick’s no-nonsense “gun-fu” fighting style mixed with the mysterious world-building and the satisfaction of seeing someone get revenge for a puppy really struck a chord with audiences, making John Wick Keanu Reeves’ most popular movie since The Matrix trilogy. Naturally, they had to make some sequels. They had no choice in the matter. John Wick: Chapter 2 definitely raises some questions though. Like why did John think leaving the life in exchange for something that could bring him back at any time was a good move? Why did Santino want to hire the boogeyman, when the job consisted of walking through a secret tunnel? And why hire him of all people if he knew he was going to double-cross him? Is anybody in this world NOT an assassin? What was with that whole seven bullets scene? Does the dog think they’re just going for a run?
