That a Kevlar suit would absorb all the kinetic energy and you can get shot, fall from 50 feet, etc and have nothing. But a pencil will penetrate it …
There were few guys practically invulnerable.
Especially the shotgun blast from that priest, and of course that fall, both should have John Wick in intensive care for about a month.
That suit of John Wick reminded me the one for Kingpin in Daredevil, but that was Marvel universe.
It was kind of ridiculous to see Reeves running around and covering his face with the jacket during half of every fighting scene...

What is more ridiculous is that in that scene Caine was blocking bullets with his sword. Even assuming he has supernatural powers, his sword was too thin to take 9mm bullets.
Maybe we should assume his sword was made of Adamantium too.
But, it was like, so cool...we love plot armor so much that our eyes can roll all the way around.
shareA 9mm round wouldn’t do much to a properly hardened sword, particularly if the sword was hand-held.
shareI hope when you say something like that, it means you have tested it, or at least seen it done. It is pointless if you just make stuff up.
Because the 9mm is exceptional at penetration, it can penetrate around 4mm of steel at close range. The thickest part of average swords is about 4~6mm, but Caine's sword is a double-edged cane sword, which are generally thinner.
It doesn't look cool and wasn't nearly as prevalent in the other movies. If that's a standard combat tactic, maybe give the suit some bigger lapels?
shareI wish this movie just went that extra step to involve a little mysticism. It's a Kevlar suit with a few magical properties. Okay then. Now we can buy all the BS. Not like Harry Potter nonsense spells. Just a little gypsy magic. From the old days.
