Just watched John Wick last night. Pretty cool but honestly his motivation is kind of dumb. Yeah, the dog has great sentimental value but then you go and kill like 40 people and throw your life away? Maybe the point of the movie is that he never really got out of the life, indeed

IMO that's the point - he doesn't have anything to live for, or left to lose.

But I also don't think it's supposed to be a good, logical motivation - simply an emotional one. And you gotta admit, there's probably no setup that better pulls people on his side than killing that puppy like that.

Yeah, seeing the kid die was awesome after he bragged about killing the dog hahahaha
Such a cool movie with great shots and coreography
