'John Wick: Chapter 4 delivers on the same notes as its predecessors. It feels gratuitous to quibble that its greatest shortcoming is that it overdelivers on its most satisfying commodity: Reeves elevating large-scale carnage into an art form.' -Harry1T6
Director Chad Stahelski’s latest addition to the John Wick canon, Chapter 4, picks up where Parabellum left off. Keanu Reeves, playing a bereaved husband and unsuccessful retiree, reprises the titular role of the sharpshooting Baba Yaga. Doggedly pursued by the assassin underworld’s ruling High Table, Wick continues to fight for his life, with an unnerving temperament.
Fittingly played by Donnie Yen, the enigmatic martial arts master is a similarly beleaguered gun for hire, yearning for retirement while clinging to his daughter, and begrudgingly carrying out hits at the behest of the High Table to keep her safe. He is best described in one scene by the Marquis as “a man with something to kill for,” in contrast with Wick, whom the Marquis describes as “a man with nothing to live for.” This is the underlying ethos of the gleaming shoot ‘em up franchise.
No discussion of the John Wick franchise can omit the dedication and effort Reeves pours into bringing the eponymous character to life. Each scene is meticulously choreographed and honed with surgical precision that leaves little room for doubting Wick’s prowess. While many directors rely on frenzied jump cuts and heavy-handed editing, Wick’s fights are authentic.
