If you're gonna see one action movie this year, make it John Wick Chapter 4, a non-stop action picture with the most dramatic lightning and the classiest setting. In this sequel, everyone wears expensive suits, equipped with high-tech weapons. The action sequences defy logic, physics, and human capacity.
Keanu Reeves is more a killing machine than ever, but his allies and rivals are equally dangerous: Donnie Yen chews up the scenery as a blind assassin, Scott Adkins is the longest lasting villain, an expert in martial arts. Bill Skarsgard never fought (sadly) but has a powerful presence.
My complaint towards the last John Wick movie, Parabellum, is the lack of progress in the story. This one shuts off that criticism completely. There is actual setup and payoff; Yes, all very drawn out in the near 3-hour runtime. But this is the kind of movie that I don't want to stop watching. The pacing is stunningly fast, with some truly beautiful locations (Some really stylish usage of Osaka and Paris). There is such an overload of fight scenes that the non-fight scenes underwhelms by comparison.
Watch John Wick Chapter 4 in theatres for maximum effect; you get to hear swords slash, guns fire, bullets fly, and bodies thud very clearly.
