Main objection: The price on his contract. Not necessarily that 7 mil sounds low (it does) but also why the gently caress is it in USD? If it was 7 million doubloons that'd be a different story. Is it because they just didn't want to put a name to their currency?

It's in USD because the contract is limited to NYC at that point. 7 million is plenty of motivation for any assassin to risk it all and try to take out The Wick, it's a "death or glories" scenario. By the weird gold specie system of their universe, Wick's death would probably be worth 1 skull kruggerrand, because those things are more symbolic than anything else: a doubloon equals 1 paid assassination, 1 body disposal, 1 night at the Continental, 1 round of drinks at the Continental, etc. Think of it this way: an assassin would get 7 million dollars, 1 gold coin and +1000 reputation for fulfilling the contract on John Wick.

Ruby didn't die, she would have died in seconds from a severed aorta. Remember the golden rule of action movies: no one dies off-screen.
