Sean T Wick Is Pain Is More than a documentary; it’s a love letter to action cinema. John Wick may be a man of few words—but the new documentary Wick Is Pain has much to say. Wick Is Pain dives deep into the creation of the billion-dollar John Wick franchise. More than a standard behind-the-scenes feature, the film is an emotional and eye-opening look at how one of modern cinema’s most iconic action series nearly never came to be. Featuring exclusive interviews with star Keanu Reeves, director Chad Stahelski, and producers Basil Iwanyk and Erica Lee, Wick Is Pain chronicles the blood, sweat, and heart that went into building the now-legendary franchise. From the early struggles of financing the original film to the unbreakable creative partnership between Reeves and Stahelski, the documentary lays bare the pain and passion behind every bullet and bruising brawl. It’s both mind-blowing and inspiring to see how close John Wick came to never happening. What started as a scrappy, independently financed film transformed into a global action juggernaut. This documentary makes it clear that this success wasn’t luck. It was earned through visionary direction, cutting-edge stunt choreography, and the relentless drive of its cast and crew. Beyond the action, the film delivers something unexpected: emotion. Everyone involved feels a real sense of pride and vulnerability. Wick Is Pain isn’t just for action junkies—it’s for anyone who loves a good underdog story. Wick Is Pain is powerful, informative, and straight-up badass. A must-watch. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 05/27/25 Full Review Marc Z Sometimes seeing how the sausage is made is not a good thing. This is not one of those times. I can not get enough of John Wick and the John Wick saga. This behind the scenes look at the making of the most popular action series in modern times is a really, really cool way to spend an evening. I liked it a lot. Getting to hear from Chad Stahelski, Keanu Reeves, and the cast and crew is very interesting. Seeing 87Eleven and the training, as a martial artist is super fun. Cool old footage of Dan Inosanto and Chad's training days. Some super interesting behind the scenes footage. Loved hearing from Daniel Bernhardt. This is a must for John Wick fans Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 05/24/25 Full Review Andy B It's a little too long but a well put together and entertaining documentary.
