Haha, "The Six Million Dollar Man"! I watched that back in the day every week and it actually seemed cool then. Well I thought "Upgrade" was more advanced than Steve Austin's bionics. Part of what I liked in fact was the cheesiness of the guy testing out his new A.I. superpowers and the film playing it borderline comically until everything turns radically dark.
"John Wick" I haven't seen, so I've no point of reference there.
