John Wick is an American action thriller film from 2014 and was claimed by critics to be among the best action films of 2014. The John Wick film series currently consists of three parts with the fourth one to be released in 2022. Over the years the series gained fame and earned multiple video game titles as well.
The films follow the character of John Wick ( played by Keanu Reeves) who used to be a famous assassin by the name of Baba Yaga until he retired and left that life behind to marry his wife Helen.
Helen Wick ( Bridget Moynahan) was a famous photographer who met her husband, John in a restaurant while he was still under the employment of Viggo who headed the Russian crime circle in New York. When John wishes to retire he is handed an “impossible task” by Viggo and permitted to leave if he can finish it in a very short amount of time. Achieving the goal, he leaves the life of a hitman in his past and proceeds to marry Helen, and devoting his life to her. While their marriage is relatively new, she gifts her husband a vintage 1969 Ford Mustang Mach 1. Shortly, after her death at the very beginning of the film, she sends John a puppy named Daisy to allow him to cope with his grief. Eventually, the chain of events in the film begins with Viggo’s son stealing his car and killing Daisy.
Although the initial scene of the movie shows Helen’s death, it is not given much detail or importance. Most information is withheld and all that is shown is only what is needed. Not much detail is provided other than the fact that she died of some terminal illness which she had been diagnosed with a few years into her marriage with John.
