Lots of people were very upset, considering it "gratuitous," to the point where the producers and even Reeves felt compelled to explain, in some detail the "why" of the scene. They felt (shortening it as much as I can) that without that scene, Wick's actions were simply sociopathic and without any real justification--I mean, going on a spree like that, for a car???? According to them, they tried it with and without Daisy (the puppy) a dozen times and finally felt that without Daisy, it didn't work. The whole movie, I mean. YMMV, of course.

Yeah, I myself wasn't too happy with that scene. I was upset with Costner and his "shoot the wolf" scene in DWW, too. Sometimes, it's just gratuitous emotion-jerking (DWW, doesn't drive plot, just upsets the audience); sometimes, like with JW, you can at least understand what made them think that they
had to use it.
