John Wick and the Matrix

Action cinema as it was was kind of in this born identity phase. It was a lot of like real dirty, quick cut, snappy action, parkour stuff. And ironically the team that worked on the Matrix were heavily inspired by John Wick and its gun flu influences. While putting it in this kind of universe that you say is a answer to comic books, I'm saying John Wick is just as a comic book movie as anything else.
