As such things go, John Wick is less fun than Premium Rush (it lacks quirky supporting performances á la Michael Shannon) but blessedly less pompous and brutal than Drive.
Stealing a gimmick from Limitless (it worked more efficaciously with Bradley Cooper), Wilee - riding his brakeless, fixed-gear bike - pre-visualizes the options when he pulls up to a light: Go to the left and get doored?
