Just finished watching it. My biggest question is, how did Iosef not know who John Wick is? Being that he's such a legend and pretty much everybody in the criminal world knew who he was except the one guy who did the one thing that set him off. It's implied that he did work for Viggo and you would think the son of a crime boss trying to follow in his dad's footsteps would know these things. Heck, even the chop shop guy knew whose car it was.
I didn't get a feel for how long he had been out of the game. Viggo said to him at one point "You got married. I got a kid" or something to that effect. So the son was either not even born when Wick worked for him or was so young he wouldn't have known who he was.
I doubt Viggo kept picture of Wick, so he probably didn't know his face, but if I remember right he knew the name. When Viggo tells him whose car he stole his face went pretty blank.
I will have to watch it again to see his expression when he finds out whose car he stole.
hoping to see a sequel.
Watched it the other day. Loved it!
I was wondering if you got around to watching it, glad you enjoyed it!
Watched it last night. Thought it was really good. I kind of kept hoping we would get some insight as to what exactly he used to be, but even without it I didn't feel let down. Good Flick.
What do you think, was he an ex-secret agent, ex-cop, ex-assassin, ex-hired muscle or what?
I thought I read somewhere that he was an ex-marine or special forces or something. Maybe it was in a behind the scenes snippet?
