Exploring Life Through Action Films | John Wick [Spoilers]
Read more: Exploring Life Through Action Films | John Wick [Spoilers]Action films aren’t my typical go-to (unless super hero movies count?). I’m the one who goes for dorky Disney Channel Original Movies, animated flicks, RomComs, family-aimed adventure movies, or films from decades-gone-by (especially if Don Knotts is involved).
