Chapter 158
[Note: The movie summary was short because not much really changed in the plot of John Wick, it''s basically the same. Just watch John Wick if you''re interested in the movie].
"Wace! Hurry up! Take your damn popcorn and sit down! Seriously, why are you even buying popcorn in the Cinema, popcorn in this ce sells like 3 dors!"
"Calm down, okay."
Billy and Wace went to the bathroom because it would be terrible if they left right at the climax of the movie. The two understood that this was an action movie and it would definitely be an adrenaline-pumping experience. They didn''t want to miss a thing.
Billy and Wace saw Napoleon Dynamite four years ago and thought it was funny. Since then, they have be fans of director Kazir Grey. They saw The Hangover, which was funnier than Napoleon Dynamite. Then they saw Taken, which was a movie for guys like them.
They had already graduated from college and were working on their respective careers. Watching movies was the only time they could hang out now that they were busy adults.
Whenever Kazir Grey produced a movie, they would watch it. It became a tradition for both of them. It was a good thing that Kazir Grey had a movie every year.
The opening night for John Wick was not as crowded as they expected. Maybe the September schedule and the R rating were some of the factors why the reception was mediocre. Still, that didn''t stop some avid fans from going to see the movie.
The movie started. Wace and Billy watched the screen as they munched on popcorn that Wace bought. The logos of Grey Pictures and Paramount Pictures appeared one after the other. [The first five minutes of the movie was about John Wick (Viggo Mortensen) and how he lost his wife. His friends came to the funeral. John Wick was sad about the death of his wife, but a dog gave him hope to live. The dog was his wife''sst gift to him].
The audience didn''t have a strong attachment to John Wick''s wife, and they believe it was just a plot device.
However, they find the dog adorable.
"The dog is very cute!"
At least one person in every theater would say it while watching the cute dog get close to John Wick.
As for Billy and Wace, their focus was on something else. They were watching Taken and remembering something important.
"Hey, that Raizo... He showed up in Taken, right?"
"Yeah, I think so."
[Raizo (Enzo Park) appeared at the funeral and spoke to John Wick for a few seconds before disappearing back into the darkness. His conversation with John Wick was brief and a little confusing. To begin with, the audience had no information about the protagonist, John Wick.]
[Marcus also attended the funeral and offered his condolences to John Wick].
[After that, the story slowly progressed, but the audience was still clueless about John Wick''s identity].
"Where''s the action?" In the first ce, the reason why they wanted to watch this movie was because of action sequences.
"Shhh, the movie''s just starting. We are not even 10 minutes into the movie."
[The action scenes they were talking about were about to happen. John Wick and his dog went to a gas station. There they met Viggo Tarasov''s asshole son, Iosef Tarasov].
[When John Wick refused to sell his car, a 1969 Ford Mustang Mach 1, and responded in Russian, Iosef decided to break into his house, attack John Wick, and steal his car.]
[Iosef was the son of a Russian Mafia boss, so he thought he owned the world].
[Iosef seeded and stole the car. He and his friends beat up John Wick and killed his dog. That was thest thing they should have done.]
The audience felt sad when they realized the dog had died.
[After this incident, the audience began to understand that John Wick was not so simple! He was the Baba Yaga! The one sent to kill the Boogeyman].
"So John Wick is actually a professional killer!" Wace who was stuffing popcorn in his mouth realized that fact. He was still unsure how this movie would unfold.
[Fortis Fortuna Adiuvat. A tattoo on John Wick''s back. In Latin, it means "Fortune favors the bold."]
[With his ck tuxedo, John Wick entered the world of assassins once again to seek revenge.]
[He returned to the Continental Hotel. Met Winston. Talked to Viggo Tarasov on the phone and began his vendetta of killing people].
Although the movie was still in progress, Billy and Wace saw another cameo by Kazir Grey.
This time, Kazir Grey was talking to a ck man with an afro. The two were at the Continental Hotel. A small cameo but cameo nheless.
"Kazir showed up again!"
The sound of their conversation was faint and the audience could not hear them. It looked like they were talking about some serious stuff because their expressions were quite serious. It was as if Kazir was giving Fremont a chance to prove himself.
[At the Continental Hotel, they used gold coins as currency. Just like what Bryan Mills did to get information from Raizo].
[Just like what the audience expected, the movie was full of action, fights, and gun battles].
"Cool! This is so freaking cool!"
[But unlike the over-the-top action movies that use heavy and big guns and simple action stunts, the action sequences in John Wick were realistic and blood boiling, as if the audience was watching a real battle. The technicalities, the professionalism of being assassins.]
"That''s what I like! Action movies these days don''t even have a magazine reload scene! No gun has endless bullets! Of course you have to reload!"
Wace roared, stuffing a handful of popcorn into his mouth for the nth time.
[John Wick was taking on a Mafia organization and he was at a disadvantage. He was thrown from the second floor of the bar, shot in the abdomen, and nearly suffocated after being caught.]
[Fortunately, Marcus saved him with his sniper rifle. Marcus was a true friend. He wouldn''t betray John Wick for two million dors in exchange.]
[After receiving help from Marcus, John Wick killed his way until he found Iosef Tarasov and got his revenge. After that, John Wick found another dog and decided to adopt him.]
[The End...]
"Woohoo!"
"Nice!"
Even though the plot of the movie was generic and the audience already had an idea of how the movie would end, they were still entertained.
The audience started standing to leave the theater.
A few seconds after the credits rolled, the screen lit up again for the post-credits scene.
The standing audience stopped at their feet and watched the final scene.
[At the prominent Continental Hotel, Marcus and John decided to have a conversation. This time Marcus met John Wick and talked about the High Table. Apparently, the Fraternity was getting out of hand and Marcus felt like a massive change would happen.]

[So yes, here I am shamelessly promoting my P atre on for the nth time.]
[But before that, I want to thank all the readers who read this novel on ScribbleHub, RoyalRoad, Webnovel, and Questionable Questing and gave me valid opinions and criticisms. I want to say that I read all yourments and take your opinions very seriously, except when ites to correcting my typos and grammar mistakes...]
[Unfortunately, there are times when I can''t fulfill your wishes because I just can''t. A lot of people are against harems, but they also want Kazir to have rtionships with other women, one at a time. A lot of people also want Kazir to have a rtionship with Reese, but a lot of people didn''t like that either. I can''t satisfy all of you. Just like I said in the first chapter, this novel started as an experiment until it became my main focus of writing, which was obvious because of the many patrons who subscribed to my Pat re on].
[I also want to thank my patrons for their constant financial support. I''ve repeated over and over how much I want to thank them, because that''s how much they help me. Basically, they gave me the motivation to keep writing. Writing is fun, but knowing that you can pursue it as a real career is very hard to do without people really supporting you.]
[If you subscribe to my Pat reo n, you can read up to 132 advanced chapters of HWI. That''s my heartfelt appreciation to anyone who wants to support me financially.]
[I apologize if this promotion has upset you. You know, I just have to work hard and hustle to provide for my family.]
