John Wick came out out nowhere this year, introducing audiences to the title character, whom CraveOnline called “cinema’s next great badass.” The action thriller stars Keanu Reeves as an ex-hitman who goes out for revenge against a gang of thugs, sending him back into the world that considers him a legend, and which is not prepared for his sudden, violent return. John Wick was one of the most acclaimed action movies of 2014, and now – CraveOnline is proud to exclusively announce that it’s coming to Blu-ray Combo Pack, DVD and On Demand on February 3, with a Digital HD release on January 13, 2015.
The John Wick Blu-ray includes six new featurettes and a commentary track with filmmakers Chad Stahelski and David Leitch, which is exclusive to the Blu-ray release. But the biggest treat is the movie itself, the kind of old school, pulp-inspired action thriller that rarely gets made anymore, and especially this well, with some of the coolest action sequences of the whole year.

From the Press Release:
Action icon Keanu Reeves (47 Ronin, The Matrix trilogy) stars as John Wick, the ultimate hitman, in the heart-pounding revenge thriller John Wick, arriving on Digital HD January 13 from Summit Entertainment, a LIONSGATE Company. Certified Fresh by Rotten Tomatoes, the film will also be available on Blu-ray Combo Pack (plus DVD and Digital HD), DVD (plus Digital) and On Demand February 3. Directed by Chad Stahelski and produced by David Leitch, p.g.a., masters of Hollywood action, and written by Derek Kolstad, John Wick’s legendary cast also includes Michael Nyqvist (Mission Impossible: Ghost Protocol), Alfie Allen (HBO’s “Game of Thrones,” Atonement), Adrianne Palicki (TV’s “Friday Night Lights,” G.I.

When sadistic young thugs senselessly attack John Wick – a brilliantly lethal ex-assassin – they have no idea that they’ve just awakened the boogeyman. With New York City as his bullet-riddled playground, Wick embarks on a merciless rampage, hunting down his adversaries with the skill and ruthlessness that made him an underworld legend.
