John Wick	comment	John Wick (later retitled to John Wick: Chapter 1 in line with the sequels) is a 2014 action thriller film co-directed by Chad Stahelski and David Leitchnote The sole official credit for directing the film was given to Stahelski due to Leitch's position as a producer and written by Derek Kolstad. It was released on October 24, 2014, and marks the first chapter of the John Wick franchise.A young gangster named Iosef Tarasov (Alfie Allen) and his friends break into the home of a man named John Wick (Keanu Reeves), who had earlier brushed off Iosef when he offered to buy Wick's vintage 1969 Ford Mustang Mach 1. In the process, they steal the car, rough up Wick, and, most egregiously, kill the manâ€™s dog.Unfortunately, Iosef didn't know some very important details about John Wick â€” namely that heâ€™s one of the deadliest men alive, a retired assassin formerly employed by Iosef's mobster father Viggo (Michael Nyqvist), and the dog that Iosef killed was a last gift from Wick's recently deceased wife Helen (Bridget Moynahan). The break-in prompts Wick to come out of retirement and call in some favors in order to carry out a Roaring Rampage of Revenge.Comparable to Kill Bill in premise and execution, John Wick is especially notable for its choreography, eschewing quick cuts and shaky cam in favor of long takes and minimal camera movement to showcase some truly spectacular fights and driving sequences that were almost entirely performed by Reeves. (Perhaps not too surprisingly, Stahelski and producer David Leitch made their names as stuntmen and stunt coordinators.) The film also shows several strong influences from films like The Killer (1989), Le SamouraÃ¯, and Point Blank (1967), meaning that the film is rife with brutal moves, badass One-Man Army moments, and Gun Fu that would make John Woo blush.The success of the film spawned a number of sequels (Chapter 2, Chapter 3 â€“ Parabellum, Chapter 4) and several other spin-offs, and gave Reeves a new wave of stardom and recognition as a certified badass in ways not seen since the peak of the hype surrounding The Matrix. In other words, we're thinkin' he's back.

John Wick / int_112daba0	type	Retired Badass
John Wick / int_112daba0	comment	Retired Badass: John Wick, at first—and retired enough that, aside from Iosef's ambush taking him down, if you compare his first shootout with his last, he's notably slower, less sneaky, less deadly, and less accurate earlier in the movie. Not that it helps his opponents, as he's still phenomenally lethal.

John Wick / int_1235f055	comment	Dirty Coward: Iosef Tarasov, to the max. Typical empty tough guy attitude which falls apart at the first sign of trouble. Particularly in the fight at the Red Circle, where he grabs a nearby girl to shield himself when John has him in his sights. Considering he sells out his own son to save himself and doesn't fight Wick until he's thrown all of his men at him, Viggo counts to a degree.

If anybody violates these rules - like the disrespectful Iosef intruding on John's retirement, stealing from him and killing his dog, or when Ms. Perkins breaks Hotel Continental rules and tries killing him and later kills Harry - you will receive no help or sympathy from anybody at best.

All in the span of three seconds before the mook can even react. Viggo is questioning Marcus on whether he's willing to betray his old friend, John Wick, by taking a contract on him. At the same time, Marcus is making questionable vegetable smoothies, one of which he offers to Viggo. Viggo spends the entire scene looking at it with a combination of confusion and revulsion.

In Chapter 4, John repeats the echo with the Marquis. Rules, and consequences. When Aurelio tells Viggo what Iosef has done and to who, Viggo's reaction is a flat "Oh." When Viggo explains to Iosef that John isn't so much the boogeyman as "the one you send to kill the fucking boogeyman", Iosef has the same reaction. "Don't worry. Housekeeping will find you." First said by Harry to Ms. Perkins. Perkins repeats this to Harry after she kills him. John kills Iosef out of redirected grief over his wife's death; later Viggo kills Marcus out of redirected grief over his son's death.

John Wick / int_24321e44	type	Only Sane Man
John Wick / int_24321e44	comment	Only Sane Man: There's actually several, starting with Aurelio who immediately realizes Iosef stole John Wick's car and that there's gonna be hell to pay. Victor is the one among Iosef's group who tries to keep him from causing trouble, such as pulling him away from John and apologizing for the trouble then later keeping Iosef's other friend from shooting Aurelio. The cop Jimmy who calls on John's house after John takes out 12 hitmen. Jimmy remains utterly calm realizing there's a couple of bodies in plain view (John even steps to the side and looks back like "oh yeah, those"), and knows well enough to say nothing about that and politely walks away. Fans regularly identify him as the smartest guy in the movie. In the same vein, John gets the drop on Francis (one of Viggo's mooks that he appears to know personally) and offers him the opportunity to walk away. The man immediately takes it, but not before thanking Wick. Viggo starts off this way, knowing full well just how dangerous John can be, but Viggo's desire to protect his own son overrules it. And then after he betrays Iosef to save his own skin, Viggo goes overboard taking out his revenge on John's friend Marcus. Kirill deserves a mention, if only for the run-up to the Red Circle scene: he obviously knows who he's up against, is pissed off at Iosef for starting the whole mess (and for trying to continue his party boy lifestyle while one of the most dangerous men alive is on his trail), and tells him so in no uncertain terms.

John Wick / int_2534ee67	type	In Medias Res
John Wick / int_2534ee67	comment	In Medias Res: The movie opens with John roughly parking an SUV, crawling out bleeding and laying against a loading ramp, and deciding to watch a video of him and his wife. The movie does not return to this until the very end, which reveals he crashed into the back of the pound/a veterinarian's office and uses the medical supplies to patch himself up. Also a case of How We Got Here and Once More, with Clarity. The entire movie also qualifies. There is plenty of information given to let you know who the players are, and the exposition provides more than enough detail to follow along, but the movie is in love with giving characters backstory and then refusing to explain them at all. A movie about an incredibly skilled assassin getting out to be with his dying wife would normally start with the mission that he's tasked to do, and instead John Wick starts with her death. It's clear that there is some serious Worldbuilding behind the scenes, but the movie only provides the barest glimpse into it.

It's implied there is something more to John than a cold-blooded killer, although that's almost all we see of him. His Nice to the Waiter tendencies and attempts to avoid civilian casualties, as well as leave Jimmy out of the situation, suggest that he's actually a pretty friendly guy. Just when he's on the job, he's all business. His interactions with Addy the bartender seem to hint that they might have been involved at one point or another. She definitely finds him attractive and is happy to see him back.

John Wick / int_2ec87029	type	Sadly Mythtaken
John Wick / int_2ec87029	comment	Sadly Mythtaken: While the mythical Baba Yaga was indeed depicted as a villain and occasional child-snatcher in folklore, it's because she preys upon the overly-curious, who stray from their homes into her domain. In modern times, she is almost always portrayed as a wise and strictly neutral or even helpful character, who might hinder or assist the protagonist of a given tale. The screenwriters seem to have confused Baba Yaga with a similarly-named entity known as Babay, or babayka, who are primarily known for snooping around homes to lure and kidnap children who don't go to sleep when they're told to. If anything, the babay seems closer in description to the boogeyman than Baba Yaga does. Ironically, one antagonist that Baba Yaga often helps deal with is a figure whose description fits John Wick almost perfectly: Koschei the Deathless. That being said, the original description of Baba Yaga does fit his description, considering the entire series starts with a group of brats breaking into his home under the assumption that he's just a regular civilian to be pushed around.

John Wick / int_2ff4c09b	comment	Special Person, Normal Name: "John Wick" is fairly mundane as far as badass hitmen names go. That said, it's also crosses over into a Visual Pun or Rule of Symbolism - he dresses in dark colors, tends to fight in the dark or in thematically dark places, yet the muzzle flashes of his gun are extremely prominent much like the wick of a candle. Alternatively, the wick of a candle could be analogous to the fuse of a stick of dynamite.

This quickly establishes that John is connected to the underworld and is feared enough that most people don't want to get on his bad side. The following scene of Viggo calling Aurelio establishes further just how terrifying John's reputation is, with even The Don concerned of John's upcoming rampage. At his hideout, Iosef is irritably on edge and yells at his cohort playing a First-Person Shooter at full volume (because he's wearing full headphones to keep in contact with the security team) to turn it off, finally snapping "WILL YOU STOP PLAYING THAT FUCKING VIDEO GAME!" Literally five seconds later, John gets him to stop playing by sniping him from afar.

This highlights both his Tranquil Fury but it also highlights how that violence - and specifically his guns - are his way of expression his emotions of grief and anger. His gunshots are substitutes for crying and yelling. The one scene where he seems to lose his cool is the one scene where he is otherwise helpless and doesn't have a weapon on him.

He doesn't stop to think about his wife, or his puppy at any point, and operates on pure, clinical Tranquil Fury...until it's all done.

John Wick / int_62f9d08e	comment	Freeze-Frame Bonus: When John's showering, if one pays attention, one can see John has a tattoo on his back saying "Fortis Fortuna Adiuvat". That is Latin for "Fortune Favors the Bold" and is similar to the motto of the 3rd Battalion of the Marine Corps "Fortuna Fortes Juvat". The Marine Corps' "Fortes" is plural, which can translate as "Fortune helps the bold ones" and has a sense of teamwork and camaraderie, whereas John's "Fortis" is singular. "Fortune helps a strong one", meaning that Fortune (whether luck or the Roman goddess Fortuna) only helps those who are strong. Playing toward John's One-Man Army tendencies. There's also the weapon cache he digs up in his basement; one side is various weapons, the other side has gold coins. We don't find out the significance of these coins until later, but twelve of them are enough to arrange "a dinner reservation for twelve" AKA disposing of twelve bodies. And Wick has a case full of them. Cases of the gold coins are shown in Viggo's personal safe, where he keeps his big black book of numbers (including John Wick's) and more are shown in the stash that John incinerates. They appear to be the universal currency of the underworld. The value of a coin varies wildly throughout the series and they're abandoned in later installments. One will get you entry to a secret bar, or a body discretely disposed of, or a friend to babysit a rule-breaker, or call in a hit... they seem to be not so much money as they are tokens of favors, and at that they're favors less intimate and one on one as the marker called in by Santino in the sequel.

In other words, while it may seem like an Excuse Plot at first, it most definitely isn't.

John Wick / int_7286e96d	comment	Idiot Ball: When Viggo has captured John, he doesn't kill him immediately. Instead, he talks and gloats for a bit, then leaves John for his henchmen to torture and kill. Later on, Viggo still doesn't learn. When he's got Marcus, he prefers to torture him and gloat rather than just killing him. Marcus manages to wrestle a gun from his captors and kill two of Viggo's men before Perkins shoots him. He also calls John to gloat, which is bordering on Too Dumb to Live. Viggo's son, Iosef, also qualifies — had he spent less time partying and bothered to learn the history of his crime family, he would have known about John Wick and why leaving him alone would have been a good idea. He manages to jealously hold onto the ball by continuing to insist he's not worried about John even after finding out that his own father is terrified of the man. It's not until he sees John rip through his entire security force at the night club that he actually understands how serious things are. John catches a small one during the club shootout sequence. When John realizes he is out of spare mags for his primary pistol, he grimaces angrily and engages Kirill in hand to hand. Only after being thrown one floor down he remembers that he has a backup gun behind his belt. At least in this case, John was in a drawn-out fistfight and drew the gun when he had a reprieve. And finally for Harry, a killer, to not be aware about the thumb dislocation trick to escape handcuffs and to let his guard down around Ms. Perkins, one who's already proven willing to break the rules of the hotel. It's particularly bad in his case, because he has literally no reason to ever get within arm's reach of Perkins just to scold her about breaking the rules.

John Wick / int_7360a6b6	comment	Noble Demon: John himself is a ruthless ex-hitman, but he also takes care to never fire when it would endanger the lives of non-combatants, such as when he fights his way through a nightclub. And when he desires the death of someone who is a non-combatant, he arranges it so that that person gets killed by the hand of another. Lastly, he respects the rules of the Continental even though Management implicitly would have let him kill Ms. Perkins for assaulting him in his room, as she was the one who violated the rules by breaking the truce. The same is true for most people who can even remotely be considered "good guys" in this series (and a few bad guys). Given that the setting is the criminal underworld, and more specifically the world of professional assassination, virtually nobody has clean hands, but John's friends and allies tend to have qualities like honor and loyalty to make them sympathetic, compared to figures like Santino and The Marquis, who are vile Hate Sinks.

John Wick / int_875615dd	comment	Truth in Television: As mentioned in Deconstruction, John's constant reloading is still carried throughout the next films, which makes the film franchise take on a much more realistic approach to gunfights. In comparison, many other gun-oriented action films would opt for Bottomless Magazines and zero reloads instead. Also in a case of applying thorough research, the number of shots John fires before reloading is portrayed accurately when it comes to actual magazine sizes (which means he always empties his clips). For example, John fires 7 shots from an M1911 before he reloads, because that's the standard maximum clip size of the gun in real-life.

John Wick / int_8a295a46	type	Cool Car
John Wick / int_8a295a46	comment	Cool Car: John's 1969 Mustang is quite a pimpin' ride◊. So cool, in fact, that Iosef wants it for himself... and isn't willing to take no for an answer. Dialogue refers to it as a Boss 429; if it is a true Mustang Boss 429, it is one of 859 made and would easily sell for over 6 figures. It's actually a major plot point: Aurelio immediately recognizes the car and kicks out Iosef because he didn't want any part in the coming war, and was the first person John contacted for information on who took his car. Though it isn't recovered during the events of this film, in the sequel's opening John tracks it down and recovers it, albeit severely damaged. The car the film uses doesn't seem to be a true Boss 429; it seems closer to a 1969 Mustang Mach 1. The hood vent (which is nonfunctional, Boss 429s have a wider, functional hood scoop to feed air into the engine), hood latch pins and spoiler are the giveaways; Boss 429s came with a much beefier and wider hood scoop, did not have hood latch pins, and the wheels are Shelby wheels, not Mustang wheels. The interior is also much closer to what a Mach 1 would have. Aurelio later gives John a black with white stripes 1969-1970 Chevy Chevelle SS as a loaner car, which he uses extensively. The 2012-2015 Dodge Charger which he receives as a compensation from the Continental management, while no collector's item, is nothing to scoff at either. Pity it gets wrecked in the finale.

John Wick / int_8ae880f7	type	Deconstruction
John Wick / int_8ae880f7	comment	Deconstruction: The main appeal of the film was to apply real or at least semi-realistic outcomes to variety of action movie cliches or to at least re-evaluate them. After Iosef is told by his father how much he fucked up by incurring the wrath of John Wick, Iosef, trying to get back on his father's good side again, vows "to finish what he started"; Viggo, lampshading how Iosef ignored everything he just told him about John basically being the deadliest hitman in the world, tells him that John is going to go after him, he can't do anything to stop him, and to just get out of his sight. Vowing to kill a guy who has the reputation of being a stone-cold killer while you're an inexperienced, incompetent, spoiled, slacker of a son will get you laughed off. (Iosef then goes off to...distract himself from the situation by partying.) After the first major action scene, John calmly calls someone to make "reservations for 12" - cue a "Specialized Waste Disposal" crew arriving to his house to clean up the mess left by said action scene. Before that, John is visited by a police officer after killing all of the hit squad because he had just had a violent fight with 12-13 people, with tons of yelling, unsuppressed gunfire, and glass shattering for a couple minutes, long enough for neighboring houses to become disturbed and call 911. The only reason John isn't arrested is because this cop, and possibly the police in general, are fully aware of who John is and what just happened, so he's let off the hook. Betraying the Continental's rules does not mean you can get away scot free, badass assassin or not. Ms. Perkins doesn't even get a shot off before Winston's men surround and execute her. When cornered by John, Iosef Tarasov goes down as easy as anyone else. Viggo Tarasov quite understandably becomes more violent and suffers a Villainous Breakdown after John dismantles his leverage over organized crime in New York City, torches his fortune, and makes him sell out his own son. John's tough, but the impact of two bullets to a Bulletproof Vest leaves him off his game enough for Kirill to truly beat him up. Kirill is the first person who even manages to land shots on him, which is going to happen if you get enough people against anyone. While a Bulletproof Vest will stop bullets, it's less useful against knives or a broken bottle. The two times John needs outside help are in the hotel and after being tied to a chair, both times occurring after he had been asleep or knocked out. John might be a one man army, but even he is vulnerable if he's unconscious. John has to reload frequently and often in the middle of a fight. When he runs out of his primary ammo he tries to attack Kirill hand-to-hand when he gets close to conserve ammo. When it fails he switches to an emergency gun to finish it. One bullet isn't enough to kill anyone instantly if it is put anywhere other than the head (and even that's not a 100% guarantee). So when John wants someone dead, he makes sure to place a second one in the head. Quite frequently John does shoot an opponent in the chest, which staggers them but doesn't kill them, forcing him to do a follow-up shot to the head to keep them down. After John destroys the contents of his vault (containing money, Continental coins, priceless art, and blackmail, all of which gave him power over the city's underworld) and makes him give up his only son, Viggo goes into a suicidal rage after losing everything and goes after Marcus, standing by and aiding John, knowing full well John will try to kill him too.

John Wick / int_8b606a51	type	There Is No Kill Like Overkill
John Wick / int_8b606a51	comment	There Is No Kill Like Overkill: For breaking the rules of the Continental, Perkins is shot in the head by four different people simultaneously. Marcus is shot twice by Perkins, twice by Viggo, then 3 or more times by Viggo after he's already dead. When John wants someone dead, he doesn't do it by half measures. Any given mook is going to be shot at least three times if he doesn't immediately go for the head: twice in the chest and once in the head for good measure. Honorable mention to the Mook that John puts an assault-rifle burst into at point-blank range, and then delivers a second burst to the head. Justified since John is a professional killer: you don't earn a reputation like his unless you Make Sure He's Dead. (On a more mundane front, in close-quarters combat, John is prone to putting the first round into his target's foot or leg, which is painful but usually not immediately fatal.)

He then gets informed that John is actually a highly skilled murderous assassin who will move heaven and Earth to see his imminent plan for revenge to completion, and still believes he can just "finish what he started" as if he has what it takes to kill John. When they actually come face to face, he comes nowhere near backing up his big talk, and no tears are shed when John puts a bullet in his head — with him complaining all the while. Ms. Perkins counts, too. She's a Femme Fatale who sided with Viggo solely for the money and killed a man on the grounds of the Continental Hotel, violating the only absolutely inviolate rule of the hotel.

John Wick / int_916c72b3	type	Rule of Symbolism
John Wick / int_916c72b3	comment	Rule of Symbolism: The hotel manager is named Charon and John pays him a gold coin before fully embarking on his rampage. In Greek mythology, Charon was the ferryman that took dead people across the river Styx into the underworld and had to be paid with a coin. Addy even asks John how "life on the other side" was. A simple question, but with the film's symbolism, a double meaning implying that the only real life is outside of crime. Compared to many action movies where the sound track usually is the loudest thing in a scene, in John Wick, the music is almost tranquil and subdued while the loudest thing is John's gunshots or something similar (thunder as John chases down the final villain). This highlights both his Tranquil Fury but it also highlights how that violence - and specifically his guns - are his way of expression his emotions of grief and anger. His gunshots are substitutes for crying and yelling. The one scene where he seems to lose his cool is the one scene where he is otherwise helpless and doesn't have a weapon on him. The suit he wears during the movie? Same suit he wore to his wife's funeral. There's also symbolism with the colors in the movie. Notice how the second film's poster is red. In the scene where John gears up to start his Roaring Rampage of Revenge, he lays Daisy's collar on his nightstand next to a bracelet that belonged to his wife, and picks up a gun, symbolizing, in left to right order, how first cancer took his wife, then Daisy was taken by Iosef, and so all John has left is the gun. The dog John gets at the beginning of the film is a puppy, representing John's new start in life in innocence, being only five years out of the life. At the end he has an adult pit bull, showing he has returned to his old, tenacious ways and, like a pit bull, if properly abused, he can be a monster.

John Wick / int_9d12bbc1	comment	Foreshadowing: It's set up to look like Marcus is fending off rivals for the bounty, but John never questions where these mysterious shots came from. Once he hears that the contract on John is open (as in, anyone can fill the contract), Marcus accepts it, telling Viggo, "Consider it done." That is, he only accepts once he learns that John could use some protection from other assassins. There's also a foreshadowing signal in the soundtrack when Marcus is cleaning and assembling his sniper rifle. The song is "Killing Strangers" by Marilyn Manson, where one of the key and repeated lines is "We're killing strangers so we don't kill the ones that we love." This makes more sense later when the friendship between John and Marcus is revealed. During the confrontation between Aurelio and Iosef, Iosef's lackeys declare Viggo won't like Aurelio punching Iosef and talking back at him. Aurelio counters that they don't know what Viggo would or wouldn't like, and that he'll tell Viggo "something he'll understand". After John leaves Aurelio's shop, Viggo calls for an explanation, and Aurelio plainly tells him it was because Iosef stole John Wick's car and killed his dog. As alluded to, Viggo is very understanding about the situation.

It doesn't stop his onslaught, though. But also played with in that the injuries he does sustain are shown to be similar to the ones that would take out his opponents—a stab wound weakens him and a gunshot to the chest stumbles him. The difference is he doesn't allow his opponents to follow up or they're not professional enough to just go for the kill. Also played with in that early on, we see him being tended to by a doctor who gives him medication to ease the pain. The implication being that throughout the rest of the movie, he's basically holding himself together through sheer grit and drugs. Which means we're not actually seeing him when he's at 100%...

He's cordially cool to most people, but he's shown to have made acquaintances with people like Addy and Francis, who are a bartender and a Mook respectively. And in the latter case, this means John gives Francis an opportunity to walk away from the fight. Part of what makes John so respected is his professionalism. He doesn't kill indiscriminately (unless you work for someone he doesn't like and he doesn't know you) and avoids firing into crowds when he knows he won't hit his target. Jimmy, the cop, is only doing his job and is either paid off or knows enough to not get involved, namely because since John is involved it won't go beyond whatever business he has. Francis seems to work for the club moreso than Viggo directly, so with that and whatever history they have allows John to give him an out. But if you pull a gun against John, you're an impediment to the mission, and soon dead.

Then the doorbell rings, and we get a comedic scene with a police officer investigating noise complaints. It seems clear that the police know John was a hitman and don't react at all when they see one of the bodies behind him.

When he can't, he favors one or two shots to the torso to stumble someone and finishes with a headshot when the opportunity presents itself (a technique called the Mozambique Drill). Failing that, he'll set up a headshot in another way such as hand-to-hand combat or shooting someone's foot.

John Wick / int_abad35b4	type	Soundtrack Dissonance
John Wick / int_abad35b4	comment	Soundtrack Dissonance: Sort of. John is quiet and tranquil. While there are loud music choices, notably, there are certain sounds that are unusually loud such as the sound of John's guns which tend to be even louder than the background music. A reflection of his inner rage and grief that he himself can not actually express. Similarly, the lyrics that play over certain key scenes often hint or highlight the actions therein. For example, when Viggo first offers Marcus the contract on John, the lyrics that are playing speak of hunting and killing strangers and enemies while not killing/not being able to kill the ones you love - hinting and foreshadowing that Marcus won't betray John. Played with during the club shootout: When John is on the bathhouse itself, the music is relatively soft and not very aggressive, and utterly at odds with the knife fighting and gunfire, which reflects how off-kilter John's emotional state is, to the point where he hesitates to kill Iosef and he's having trouble against individual mooks. However, as John continues chasing Iosef through the club, the music becomes more aggressive and in time with his actions, showing John becoming more focused and efficiently dispatching the guards and trying to kill Iosef.

When Viggo calls later for Aurelio to explain his actions, he only has to explain that Iosef stole John Wick's car and killed his dog to get off the hook. The highlight is perhaps Viggo's reaction to learning who Iosef stole the car from; Viggo can't decide whether to laugh, cry, or simply beat the ever-loving crap out of his son. Viggo calls John immediately after learning all this. He tries to reason with him and work things out. John says nothing and hangs up. The look on Viggo's face screams This Is Gonna Suck. Marcus, when he realizes Viggo has come to punish him. Iosef acts like a real tough guy for the beginning of the film, until he sees John slaughter his way through the Red Circle after him. Iosef, calling Victor only to straight away realize he's actually talking to John Wick. The guy who he stole a car from and killed his dog. Wick's response is merely this. Iosef gets a final one when he watches the dude playing a video game get head-shot right in front of him and realizes that John has found him.

John Wick / int_b1dde8fd	comment	Loophole Abuse: The Continental's rules state that no "business" can be conducted on Continental grounds, which is why Winston says he won't help John find Iosef. John replies by telling him that it is personal. By Winston's standards, "personal" is not the same as "business," so he bends the rules by covertly slipping John the location where Iosef is hiding. (And, of course, there is the little issue of Viggo inducing Perkins to break said rules.) It looks like Marcus might be attempting this, sniping John in his Continetal room from another building, thus not technically "conducting business on Continental grounds," but it's revealed Marcus wasn't trying to kill John, but watching over him.

John is frequently shown doing tactical reloads and his ammo efficiency is so high that he rarely takes more than 3 shots to kill someone. But at one point, he's killing so fast that he doesn't have time to reload before engaging another Mook and has to reload mid-fight. Similarly, if he realizes he can't kill someone with minimal gunfire, he'll switch to a different weapon or hand-to-hand combat. The subversion of this trope is later demonstrated as the fact that John can only carry a limited number of reloads becomes an issue at the Red Circle.

This bites John in the ass when she kills both Harry and John's other friend Marcus.note He does not kill her due to the rules the criminal underworld runs on throughout the franchise; key amongst them being "No business is to be conducted on Continental ground," i.e. killing.

After his first major gunfight killing would-be assassins, John calls in "A dinner for twelve" and a crew with a waste disposal arrive to remove the bodies and clean up his house. The staff of the Continental maintain strict obedience to rules that "business" is not conducted in the hotel, which is why Viggo ups the bounty if the hitman dares to kill John while he's inside. Which is partially the reason Winston bends the rules in alerting John to Iosef and later Viggo's locations, and later has Perkins executed for attempting to kill him in the Continental and later killing Harry. They give John a new car for the trouble.
