The “John Wick” saga has changed and evolved throughout the years, For this film, there is no denying how it has made Chad Stahelski one of our best action filmmakers, and how the franchise gave Keanu yet another career-redefining role. It’s been a wild ride, and one of the best and most consistent movie series ever. No matter where the roads lead, however, “I’m thinking John Wick is back.” Read full review

This thing ain’t a “chapter.” It’s a whole damn book — a glorious, nightmarish, biblical compendium of all manners of asskickery. Read full review

The fourth installment is more stylish, more elegant and more bonkers — kind of like Paris itself. Read full review

The movie is conceived as a knowingly overstuffed gift to “John Wick” fans, and on that level it succeeds. Read full review

There is simply and once again Reeves, the axis who centers this franchise with his grave sincerity, beatific glow and mesmerizing, rooted fighting style, with its heavy-footed solidity and surprising suppleness. No matter what happens, nothing ever feels as poignantly at stake here as Reeves’s own ravaged, beautiful, aging body. Read full review

Even by series standards, it’s an astonishingly staged and sustained panorama of violence, much of it mediated (and attenuated) by the usual inventive weaponry and bulletproof menswear, and meted out by international action stars including Donnie Yen and Hiroyuki Sanada. Read full review

Those who appreciated the original for its brutal, sinewy agility have another thing coming: a lumbering, stultifying gargantua of a film willing to kill everything except its darlings. Read full review

Some of the best action/fighting/gunfight sequences of this century. No woke, trans, mixed-race, lesbians. Perfect.

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The difference is that Baba Yaga manages to use all the ambiguity behind the mythological figure who names the murderer to deliver the definitive film of the franchise, bringing together in just one single and ambitious choreography what makes Keanu Reeves transcend in front of the cameras.… Expand

Off the heels of the third movie, this instalment lives up to the big, bad and bold action that the franchise is known for.

The action scenes are creative and shot beautifully, with the aerial one-shot scene being one of the most thrilling action scenes in cinema history.

Keanu Reeves delivers an expected splendid performance once again, Donnie Yen shines brilliantly as John Wick's friend and adversary by circumstance (it's very easy to root for him even though it's a John Wick movie), and Rina Sawayama is fantastic in her big screen debut. Bill Skarsgard is also a good villain.

The plethora of locations employed is breathtaking, and the cinematography is outstanding. The soundtrack also complements the visuals adequately.

The most noticeable problem with this instalment is its runtime. At two hours and 49 minutes, it's overstuffed with drawled-out action sequences. With the John Wick franchise, suspending one's disbelief is pivotal, but this instalment takes things beyond. It's hard to believe the plausibility of partygoers dancing gleefully as people are being shot and axed. John Wick's immunity to damage was also taken too far.

In all, lovers of the previous instalments would also love this one.

There was at least 2 people snoring at my theater throughout the whole movie lol, it was pretty bad. Last 30 minutes were ok, but it was still hard to sit through because John is such an uncompelling character. No suspense or tension because, again, John is such a boring, 1 dimensional character with little to no development over the course of 4 movies. I'd take a generic 80s good guy action hero over this **** These movies are not for me, because even the action felt bland af. Very repetitive and uncreative, save for Donnie Yen's scenes. Camerawork was clean, but just amplified the imperfections in the choreography even more. If you liked the previous movies, you'll like this one, its more of the same.… Expand
