8 Action Thrillers Better Than 'John Wick'

Now widely regarded as one of the best modern action franchises, John Wick started a movement in the action genre. The first film is a simple revenge flick with stylistic visuals and jaw-dropping, bone-crunching choreography that revived Keanu Reeves' action career and went on to spawn three sequels, a spinoff, and a prequel TV show. It's still held up as one of the greatest action films ever made, and for good reason. But as influential as it is, some movies are still better than it.
