   I finished watching John Wick last night.  Similaries between     
   it and Nobody abound. I thought the lines beween the Russian     
   mob leader and his son when the father asks "From who did you     
   steal the car?" ... Son answers, "Nobody"  ..was pretty funny.   
      
   John Wick was clearly a more polished production, and a serious     
   storyline throughout.  The part where Wick and the mob boss     
   duke it out "in honour" to the death reminded me of another     
   film that plays out exactly like that - but I can't remember     
   what film that was.   
      
   I just always find it funny that mobsters or assassins have no     
   trouble killing people they basically don't know.. but they get     
   very upset when one of their own (a wife, a kid, or another     
   gang member) is killed by someone.   
      
   Nobody relied on some humour every now and then and (in my     
   opinion) had a Tarantino comic-book style to the staging of the     
   scenes.   
      
   Once scene in John Wick was very bad technically. The scene     
   where they draw the female assassin to a particular place and     
   is surrounded by four gunmen standing around her to form a     
   four-cornered square, and shoot at her.  If that were real,     
   that would make the diametrically opposed gunmen pointing their     
   guns at each other - thus shooting themselves!  I thought that     
   was a badly staged.
