Wick Is Pain

Great documentary and really draws you in and takes you through all the events leading up to the mega-franchise that John Wick is today. Also, gives you a glimpse of what goes on behind the scenes and the actual sources of the "pain". It also shows you a side of Keanu Reeves you may not have seen before, the trainings, the stunts, the actual physical pain that he endured. Much, much respect for him and we tip our hats in his direction! Thank you Keanu! Inspiring enough to pull me back to watch the entire series again.... and again.... and makes us super anxious for the Ballerina and any future movies that tap into this story. Keep 'em coming!

Great documentary. Very insightful and interesting. You end up learning a lot more about John Wick and there's nothing wrong with that.

If you have loved the John Wick movies, you'll look at them in a new light after seeing what was going on behind the scenes to make the movies.

'Wick is Pain' is a pretty fitting summary: he loses everything and becomes this unstoppable force, all fueled by sorrow and rage.

Keanu Reeves is John Wick. No other actor will be able to play that role. He was thete from the beginning, believing in the character and played Wick flawlessly through all 4 movies.

As a fan, we can only hope and pray that there will be a John Wick 5.

Wow . What can I say , I'm probably one of the biggest John Wick fans on the planet . I tell everyone that I truly think the John Wick Franchise is probably the best action franchise ever . If you are a Wick fan like me , you HAVE to watch Wick Is Pain. It gives you an idea of how much choreography, time , commitment, pain , training that Keanu and everyone involved have to go through with performing almost all of the stunts you see on screen . I actually didn't know a lot of the stuff was real until I watched this . Keanu is legitimately one of the coolest down to earth people in the entertainment industry and more people need to be like him . This is a MUST WATCH for Wick fans .

What can you say about this franchise that hasn't been said already I've loved the action genre since I was a kid I've watched action films from the 80s 90s and to me john wick is the best action movie series I've ever seen every movie top's the previous one keanu and chad are quite the dynamic duo I can remember going to see the 1st jw and the club scene starts with led spirals and the ensuing carnage had my jaw on the floor I was in awe at the spectacle before me eyes never knew action films could be this great in the modern age I love the action but I also love the world building such an original concept of the conitnental and this world of assasins and contracts markers rules it add layers of depth to this series I could watch keanu make 10 more of these to be honest nobody does it better than reeves hes the goat.

A truly gripping documentary that shows just how insanely difficult it is to turn an idea into a finished film. The funding alone is a huge challenge-and when a backer suddenly drops out, the entire project can be on the verge of collapse. That's exactly what almost happened with John Wick-if Eva Longoria hadn't stepped in financially (!), the movie and its now-iconic franchise might never have existed.

What I also really enjoyed was how the doc shows the tight-knit and often chaotic web that is Hollywood. Who knows who, who brings whom on board, and how often pure chance plays a role. It was also fascinating to see how skeptical some people were about scenes that are now legendary-like John Wick riding a horse through the city-and whether they'd work at all on screen.

I'm giving this documentary a solid 7/10. It was definitely interesting and offered some great insights, but in a few places, it could have dug a bit deeper. Still, well worth a watch for film lovers and behind-the-scenes nerds.
