This is unintentionally funny because there’s a guy in the roleplaying game designer community named John Wick, and he’s known for campaigns where you’re grateful if you just get out alive.
Mind you, the apparent motivation for the protagonist’s resumption of his former life is pretty much the sort of thing that you would find in many a roleplaying game campaign.

PS: You know, I might actually go see this. It’s just barely absurd enough to be worth a further look.
Could use a good revenger. It’s been a while.

Agreed. I can see the pitch now:
.
“The ‘avenge-the-wife/love one’ plot has been done to death.”
.
“How about they steal this guy’s car. Oh, and kill his dog given to him by a dying wife!”
.
“Whatever you say Keanu Reeves.”
The bad guys made two mistakes in Point of Impact: they killed Bob Lee Swagger’s dog and they made the movie Shooter.
Keanu Reeves hasn’t been able to make a good Action thriller since Speed ( and a good movie period since the first matrix)
What makes anyone think this movie will be any good?
