A lot of 9mm handguns have 15-18rnd mags nowadays.

I thought the movie was great. There were a few spots where the gunplay seemed more 'made for movie' than actually necessary (one-handed chamber check immediately after reloading the 1911 comes to mind), but otherwise I loved it. I particularly loved the way they used extremely limited dialogue throughout the movie and still told the story.

So now that many of you have seen it and we are discussing... I'd like to know if there is this secret society of Assassins running amuck among us???

But seriously though... I have wondered how many true Hitmen are out there?

Back to the movie... At the end, the entire park had what, a couple of hundred hitmen all in that circle park area??? I mean damn... So basically, Keanu was given an "hour head start to get the fok out of dodge" before they all go after him?

That was my understanding. I think it kinda sucked that he was excommunicated from the Continental. That was one of the best aspects of the movie IMO. But I think he could potentially get help from a number of people including Common, Fishburne, or the boss he made peace with in the beginning.

Good points! Agreed. The whole Continental, played a intriguing and entertaining aspect to this movie!

I don't think they were all hitmen so much as it being a demonstration of how influential "management" is, the call that went out was that he was excommunicated and therefore no longer has access to the various services that the management provided. No more custom suits, no more access to an arsenal of weaponry, even the guy who was supposed to be fixing his car is on the payroll and can no longer help him.

Wick is truly alone now.

Why would Common help him? Wick killed his ward and left him with a knife in his chest - if anything he's got an even bigger grudge against Wick now.

Ruby Rose's character is dead.

If you are referring to Ruby Rose, I never saw the movie indicate she was indeed gay?
And even though we didn't see her die, she was certainly on her way.

I actually find women with short hair sexy! It demonstrates a sense of style and uniqueness not all women have or can pull off.

*edit* After looking up her sexual preference online I see that she is in fact gay. But, I normally don't just associate short hair females with being gay. I dated several back in the day that are very much feminine and only into guys.

I had the same thought as NorCal. Wick did kill his ward but he (Cassian) lost the fight fair and square while trying to avenge her. I think that coupled with Wick having had no choice in the matter + taking out the person responsible despite knowing the repercussion to himself will pull Cassian in.

Not sure about Morpheus but I think Aurelio might help Wick out as well. At the very least, return his ride to him.

I actually missed the very beginning of the movie.....what was Wick doing at the warehouse of the Russian guy? I came in when his Mustang was already partially jacked up and the fighting was underway. Poor, poor Mustang....love those Gen1 fastbacks.

Ok, I can see that.

I hope so - that car deserves to live again.
