While each John Wick sequel manages to top itself in mind-blowing stunts and world-building, it is steadily growing away from one of the central factors that made the first John Wick so compelling.
The inciting incident of the John Wick series occurred when Russian Mobsters killed John Wick's (Keanu Reeves) dog and stole his car after his wife's death.
