Dave Bautista's new project in the 2024 film schedule, The assassin's game has a lot in common with John Wick cinema. like ours The assassin's game review, noted, both films are about professional assassins who must fight many other professional assassins who are trying to kill them. However, while there are significant similarities between the films, Dave Bautista says there was never an attempt to make the action in his film like John Wickbecause no one can compete with them.
After the success of John WickWe've seen more than a few movies clearly inspired by Keanu Reeves' action franchise. It would be easy to see The assassin's game as an attempt to capitalize on the same concept, but Dave Bautista tells the audiovisual club that the movie made a concerted effort to be a little sillier with the action specifically because they didn't want to try to outdo John Wick. He explained…
We play with that a lot. There was a certain feel that we wanted this movie to have when it came to the action. We wanted it to be a little over the top. We wanted it to be a little over the top. We weren't going for the John Wick feel. Anyone who tries to compete with John Wick is practicing an exercise in futility. They have set a new standard. We wanted to get away from that and become funnier, more ridiculous, sillier. It's all JJ Perry
The similarities between these two action films go beyond the basic plot elements. Director JJ Perry is a former stuntman turned director, as is John Wick Franchise director Chad Stahelski, and Perry even worked with Stahelski on the first two. John Wick movies. It's not hard to see why people would make that comparison. Even if the goal wasn't to make a movie like the iconic movies starring Keanu Reeves, it was probably the success of that franchise that led to a project like The assassin's game first of all.
John Wick The best action is certainly stylized, but it's also very intense and taken seriously. The assassin's game However, it includes characters that are more exaggerated, such as assassins who are also dancers, and they also bring that silliness to the fight scenes. Nothing is taken too seriously in the action, but for those who like action movies that have fun, The assassin's game can be a welcome addition to the genre.
Of course, with the future of John Wick franchise in question, it may no longer be necessary for anyone to compete with it. The trailer of Ballerina, he John Wick The spinoff just came out, but after that, it's unclear what's next for the character or the world. Although it has been said that John Wick: Chapter 5 It could happen, nothing has been confirmed yet.
