However, his love of street racing prompts him to fall foul of the law, and only a deal with the FBI to help take down a ruthless drug kingpin will keep him out of jail.

John Wick
21st February at 20:00
This beautifully choreographed action thriller not only revived Keanu Reeves’ flagging acting career, it spawned two sequels, a comic book and a spin-off. It all began here, with assassin John Wick, retired from his work and ready to embrace domestic bliss. However, the sudden death of his wife leaves him reeling, and when the puppy that was her last gift to him is killed by a mobster’s goons, Wick sets out to have his bloody revenge. Willem Dafoe, Alfie Allen and Michael Nyqvist also feature.
John Wick: Chapter 2
21st February at 21:50
Three years after the hit first film, Keanu Reeves is back as the stylish assassin in this sequel. After striking a peace deal with Abram Tarasov, Wick aims to go back to his quiet life. However, Camorra crime boss Santino D’Antonio has other plans, and calls in the debt that Wick owes him. Although he initially refuses (with violent consequences), Wick eventually agrees, only for the situation to spiral quickly out of control. Riccardo Scamarcio, Common and Ruby Rose are among the cast.
John Wick: Chapter 3 – Parabellum
22nd February at 22:05
The third film in the blockbusting franchise catches up with the legendary assassin as he tangles with Manhattan’s criminal underworld while having a price on his head thanks to a fatal mistake. Every hired gun in the city and beyond is eager to bring Wick down and claim the bounty. With almost every form of help denied him, the suited and booted ‘excommunicado’ Wick must use every ounce of his wits to stay alive. Keanu Reeves again heads the cast, with Halle Berry and Laurence Fishburne.
