In the beloved action flick John Wick (streaming now on Peacock!), all Keanu Reeves’ titular hero wanted was to mourn his late wife and enjoy a quiet retirement. That’s something his wife wanted for him, as well. In the last days of her life, she arranged for a puppy to arrive after her death, so John could direct his affection elsewhere in her absence. It was an incredible gesture of love from beyond the grave, but it was doomed from the start.
