Keanu Reeves has reignited his career thanks to the John Wick movie franchise. But this isn't just the story of his comeback. John Wick represents a big win for directors David Leitch and Chad Stahelski, two career stunt choreographers who made big waves with their debut film. John Wick started as an independent action movie, and has now spawned three major sequels. Here's how Leitch and Stahelski, and of course Keanu Reeves, did it.
