lovingly pays homage to in its almost three-hour masterclass on visual kineticism and balletic gun-fu choreography. It doesn’t feel like the fourth film of a franchise; it’s an exclamation point, a high watermark not just for the stunt-focused, brute-force physicality style of action filmmaking, but for action cinema as a whole.

Sawayama is the breakout performer as Akira in the film. In the first half, it isn’t obvious that this is her first film role. The British-Japanese pop star commands the screen with her impressive range, imbuing her character with a raw sense of vulnerability and pathos.

And what makes this new installment so much more cathartic is that it cuts the fluff. In the opening, Wick is faced with an eccentric master, waxing poetry about how he can never escape his fate and his innate nature. It’s reminiscent of the heavy determinism and free will themes of thesequels. And you know what Wick does? He shuts that person up and continues on to the next action set-piece.
