10 Most Badass Movie Hitmen

This gloriously violent neo-noir came out of nowhere in 2015 and proved to be such a hit, a sequel was greenlit and arrives in UK cinemas in the coming weeks. Keanu Reeves plays a retired hitman who while mourning his dead wife, has his car stolen and puppy killed by some foolhardy gangsters.

From that point on, Wick is like a one-man army, gunning down any bad guy who gets in his way with aplomb, all the while showing an admirable penchant for the clinical head-shot. It's a stylish and frantically paced action movie and Reeves fits the bill perfectly as the unflappable and unrelenting man on a mission.

Unlike many modern action movies where the focus is on rapid cutting and extravagant camera work, here it is kept wonderfully simple as the focus remain squarely on Wick and doesn't cut away while he takes down bad guys with consummate ease.

When will bad guys learn, never, EVER mess with a hitman’s pupper.
