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.
