Sex & Nudity

  • Club scenes, women in bikinis.
  • In opening there's a kissing scene.
  • A close up of a woman's butt during a club scene as she walks into a pool.

Violence & Gore

  • John shoots a man in the eye. Blood splatters on the ground.
  • A woman shoots a man in the head through a pillow, a little blood is seen on the pillow.
  • A man is shot in the ear (blood spurts).
  • A puppy is killed offscreen and it's carcass is briefly shown.
  • Many shootouts and stabbings with minor gore, as the action moves very fast. Most of the time the violence boils down to a gunshot and a small mist of blood.
  • The shooting, as mentioned before, is very quick with blood mists and effects. There's a few moments with knives slowly penetrating and the occasional slit throat.
  • The movie contains some bloody moments however nothing too graphic.
  • While this film is very violent, it is not very gory (no severed limbs, organs etc.)
  • A man gets sniped while sitting a couch (Blood splatters on the couch)
  • Violence is moderate, but very frequent and intense. However, it is never graphic or over the top and mostly just consists of gunfights.
  • Not nearly as violent as it's three sequels. The violence mostly consists of bloody shooting and some stabbing rather than brutalization. None of the violence lingers onscreen.
  • As is most of the movie, it's very violent and intense, and sometimes brutal, but nothing that gets to the point of a hard R (or its equivalent, 18, in the UK). Not like the first sequel.
  • A lot of Headshots from John Wick with Blood Splatter Effects.
  • A violent film, although tame compared to the subsequent sequels.
  • The film contains a lot of blood splatter effects but never shows explicit wounds.
  • Level of violence:7.5/10.
  • John Wick is attacked with baseball bats by the intruders. More upsetting than brutal.
  • Two men fight in the rain. One of the men gets stabbed with a knife, but stabs his opponent back, killing him. The fight is not graphic, but intense due to how the setting is in the rain and how the protagonist is injured.
  • There's a lengthy and violent shootout in a club in which John goes on a rampage, killing many bad guys either with his hands, or guns. Many people are shot (with blood mists), beaten, or thrown into objects.

Profanity

  • 'Shit' is said 11 times
  • Half of the fu**s are said in Russian. Not a lot in English.

Alcohol, Drugs & Smoking

  • Some brief alcohol drinking from one of the antagonists
  • Cocaine is briefly seen at the villain's hangout.
  • A man makes and uses marijuana briefly.

Frightening & Intense Scenes

  • The movie is violent with many shootings and lots of blood
  • The protagonist is being hunted during a portion of the film.
  • This is a very dark and serious movie.
