Sound is an often-overlooked part of the cinematic experience, but one of the most important. The soundscape of any movie can increase the audience’s immersion and generate a visceral reaction to the events happening on the big screen, and rarely has that been truer in modern Hollywood than with the John Wick franchise.
Whether it’s the shootouts, car chases, fistfights, or even background noises that layer atmosphere on top of intensity, the action saga is a cacophony of sonic carnage that’s just important to the overall impact of the films as the bullets, bodies, and bloodshed.
