Well, the boogeyman-killing beast is back, and he is a lot of vicarious fun to watch.On October 24th, 2014, John Wick was released in theaters. He was the man you got when you wanted, in Viggo’s words, “To kill the boogeyman.” John, Viggo tells us, once killed three men in a bar with “a pencil.” But his wife Helen tamed him. Once upon a time, you see, John was a stone-cold killer for the mob. “John Wick” has it all, including John Leguizamo as a crooked chop-shop owner, an Eastern Orthodox church that is a mob front, an undercurrent of dark humor and a New York City hotel run by Winston (Ian McShane), where professional assassins, including a comely black widow (Adrianne Palicki), can have a drink together. The same goes for the performance of Swedish actor ?Michael Nyqvist of the original “The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo” as Viggo Tarasov, this film’s villain and Iosef’s father, a better screen villain than the ones we’ve had in many James Bond films.

He also is beaten with an aluminum baseball bat by a henchman of psycho-Eurotrash Iosef Tarasov (Alfie Allen, “Game of Thrones”), the despicable son of a ruthless Russian mobster ruling the New York City underworld. ![]() In “John Wick,” a film that reminds us to never underestimate the appeal of revenge, the title character loses his beloved wife (Bridget Moynahan) and the lovable pup she left to keep him company after her death.
