John Wick

The demand for the bullet-fueled, action-thriller John Wick was so astounding at Fantastic Fest, the festival had to add an additional 2 theaters (for a total of 4 screenings) to accommodate the sold-out crowds last night. For all the fans who couldn’t make it to Austin, we have the new artwork created just for the festival featuring star Keanu Reeves, who plays a retired assassin out to avenge his dog and get his car back.
I don’t know about you but avenging a dog and retrieving a stolen car is man business, straight up.  You don’t fuck with a man’s wheels, as some pissants found out in the movie The Rover, reviewed recently, when they stole his car in post-apocalyptic Australia.

LOGLINE:

An ex-hitman comes out of retirement to track down the gangsters that took everything from him. With New York City as his bullet-riddled playground, JOHN WICK (Keanu Reeves) is a fresh and stylized take on the “assassin genre”.
