Just a bit over a decade ago, a little indie action film by the name of John Wick was released to the masses. One may think that description is being facetious or sarcastic, but the original John Wick film was an independent production, and one that had just about all the odds against it at that. Unexpected financial difficulties, two first-time feature filmmakers, and a low point in the career of Keanu Reeves were just some of the obstacles facing the movie.
