The passing of Lance Reddick prior to the release of the film, makes the death of his character feel even more real as this is probably the last time we will see Reddick on screen. It felt like a perfect and respectful sendoff to the actor even though it was unintentional. When they mentioned how he has friend written on his gravestone, that just felt right. RIP

The four John Wick movies are a love letter to stunt men, and done in a epic way by a former stuntman. Appropriate. This movie, all of the John Wick movies, is a wake up call for Hollywood to FINALLY have a stunts category, as it requires as much talent to memorize 300 moves of fight choreo as it does to memorize lines.

I love how this movie closed John's story out. Personally to me. I think John, after everything, simply wanted to die and be reunited with his wife. One thing that isn't stressed throughout the movies is that chapters one through four take place in the span of a month or less. From the time John lost his wife it's been one fight after another and he hasn't had the time properly grieve. Santino took what was left of his life when he blew up his house. And it's just been one long rampage for him. And in that moment when John was in front of Santino in the Continental I think he knew and welcomed the consequences of what would happen if he killed him. He just wanted to die. But not before he did some serious damage to the High Table and what they stood for. Never cross a man that has lost everything and no longer has any ties to the living world. They could've stopped this but didn't bc they believed it would make them weak. What John did and how he did it. Put the fear of God in the High Table. Bc what made John dangerous is that he had no loyalty or fear of the High Table. And if there's one. There will be another.

That "simply wanted to die and be reunited with is wife" is just not true and way too cliche lol This "reunion with wife" or any reunion with a person who passed away is nothing but a myth because no one knows if that could actually happen. When a person dies, the living could only guess or make theories on what happens to the dead in the after life. And this is why John wants to live - to remember his wife. In JW3, when The Elder asked him, "Why do you wish to live?", John answered and I quote "My wife. To remember her. To remember us." This is the sole reason why he's fighting for his life. He wanted to live though, he will not take any bullshit from anyone. It may not be obvious because he doesn't really get physically angry but he has anger and temper issues lol When he's "mad", all he could think of is to just kill. That's where the purpose of Winston's character comes in since the first movie: To keep John centered and guided. Without Winston, he will just go on a killing spree for as long as he can lmao. Additionally, he doesn't give a fuck about the High Table or what they "stood" for nor he wants to do them any serious damage. The High Table keeps trying to kill John because he broke the rules but John doesn't care about the rules nor wants to do anything with the underworld anymore, he just wants his freedom. Even at the opening scene in JW4, he gave his last shot to beg for his freedom but The Elder's successor didn't listen.

To me, Chapter 4 is more about how John was able to free himself from his persona as the Baba Yaga, Death's Emissary and the man that everyone fears, finding peace and freedom through his own death, as his survival would threaten and shake the foundation of the High Table, which would heavily disrupt the very integrity of the whole underworld. I am moved and touched by how a man decides to put "Loving Husband" on his grave, despite being the most feared and reputable man in the whole underworld. Shows the emotional depth of John towards freeing his life of killing and his sense of loss and love towards the only women that truly loved him. Chapter 4 really sets the bar up for the franchise, which I am very excited to see how the franchise will continue to show us a different side of each of the characters in the movie, such as Winston, Caine, or even how John met Koji Shimazu and Caine during their prime Definitely a must to watch Chapter 4 if you are a die-hard fan for the John Wick franchise!

You nailed it in your opening. I saw 4 on the big screen last night and I couldn’t sleep afterwards. I was left thinking, this is to stunt-action movies what Red Dead Redemption 2 is to video games. This could wind up being the high watermark, never to be matched? Nice to have lived to see that moment for myself, not so nice for the art form’s future. Even near rivals don’t have someone like Keanu, with his charm and international reputation, all of which enhances the high concept aspect of this as an action set piece affair, making it possible for an audience to love a psychotic serial murderer - a balancing act that the Bond movies have succeeded at with mixed results over the years. Only Tom Cruise’s Mission Impossible movies come even close, yet we all have to leave any baggage about the star at the cinema door, rather than carry our love for the man into the movie with us. We all admire Cruise, and like what we see in interviews, but the thought of him belonging to a nutty cult with criminal instincts lurks somewhere in the back of our minds. While we feel we know who Keanu is and his reputation for kindness and gentlemanly behaviour, is legendary. As with RDR 2, people who understand the industries from which these achievements spring, cannot help but see an even greater shift toward cynical short-cutting and the increasing tendency for industrial levels of audience and staff exploitation . . . all for their money, of course. So receiving something of value that justifies the cost of the cinema ticket or video game is increasingly rare. I hope to be proved wrong about that, but the John Wick universe strikes me as a perfect storm of stunt men who turned directors and producers, international action icons, blue chip casting, imagination, lore, wit and beauty, (oh, the cinematography!) all melted down to fashion these four items of canonic perfection for lovers of the craft to treasure, like the rare gold coins with which Wick transacts his business. Sure, we all have a few more stashed in our collections. But we cannot help but fear that the mint will never make such quality again in a world that always seeks to debase the value with forgery and clipping.

IF - They do a chapter 5 I can see it be John returning to finish off the high table, using his death as a way to hide and pick them off from the shadows. The thing is, it has to have heart. It has to have some sentimental emotional connection. Personally, I think 4 is a good send off. Do I think he's dead? Eh, no. I don't think so. But only time will tell if 5 would be worth it. This is a movie that will be VERY hard to top.

I very much doubt they will continue the John sick saga. I mean I don’t mind it being continued it will just be satire and milked if they do move forward for a 5th movie. The ending of 4 was the perfect stalemate to meet John wicks journey and continue his afterlife after freeing himself from the high table forever. There will always be a high table and it will be impossible for it to be finished as they will just bring more replacement each time. It was a perfect send off for johns story but no need for a 5th imo.

I don't think he's dead either. But that doesn't mean that I want a fifth film. This is quite possibly the most satisfying ending for me bc either way John finds peace. If he's dead, he's with his wife. If not, hes free from the table and living his life without killing. To throw him back into that life after getting his freedom would be redundant bc it'll be the third time.

I love how "John Wick" is like how "Sherlock" is used to describe someone able to deduce something very easily or someone is showing off his or her intelligence. However, "John Wick" is used to describe anyone very proficient with guns, close quarters combat, and both in combination as well as able to improvise and adapt. The Resident Evil 4 Remake is the closest to fulfilling that fantasy of being "John Wick". Even though I want more John Wick, I am content with this being the end of his story. However, given how much attention and detail has been given to filming these movies with no unneeded cuts, it is very bizarre when they are talking about John Wick at his grave wondering where he is now, which comes off initially has whether he it in Heaven or Hell, they focus one the dog which suddenly perks up upon seeing something like it recognized something, giving the unintended implication that John Wick may not actually be dead. They seem to purposefully make it vague enough that either seems viable.

Awesome review! I def felt like the lack of lines for Keanu was the statement of the the Film. John Wick speaks with AcTiOn not words. It is an inspired film to cap off an inspired franchise that nobody saw coming and everyone wanted. After 4 films, to keep getting better, when it is essentially the same thing over, and over, and over, and over. Incredible. Chad Stahelski’s raw, novel, neo noir, concept in John Wick is honed to a razor sharp Katana that vibrates with the glowing red power of all the tortured souls in hell, for Chapter 4. It is criminal that Stunt men and women do not have an Oscar category. If they ever needed a use case as to why they should have one you don’t have to look any farther than John Wick: Chapter 4 or Mad Max: Fury Road. By the by: was it just me or did Donnie Yen look like he was having the time of his life in this film, holy shit did he add some serious mojo!

I think JW4 is a masterpiece and for all the reasons you mentioned in the video. At the same time, I can't but help find the movie depressing. It reminds me of what is happening to the American people. We are all being slowly crushed by an elitist system just like the high table and we have two choices: fight and be crushed to death instantly or surrender and die slowly. JW4 exemplifies this as John stands up to the table and wins but dies in the process. And unlike John Wick, we the people have done nothing to deserve it. It would've been nice if the movie had a happier ending by allowing John to live thus allowing the audience to have more catharsis from the emotional and physical trauma John sustained. But like many other movies being made today, it chose the darker ending. And while it doesn't ruin the movie, it makes for a slightly unsettling conclusion to the series as a whole especially in these trying times.

The first movie is the best because of it's simplicity. The sequels do everything to the highest degree and they are fantastic movies but the first John Wick will always be the most well rounded film.

Yes I will always rank the first first. However JW4 has retrieved some of the elements of 1, that 2 and 3 lost, especially better song choices as well as purposed and driven narrative arc.

JW4 is an excellent movie. My only gripe is I didn't care for the introduction of Mr Nobody who was only motivated by money through most of it. I would've preferred they gave the Bowery King more scenes rather than basically use him for another cameo.

Honestly, mr nobody was great in what he served in the movie. He had a decent fight scene with John, he helped establish the ruthlessness of Marquis by stabbing his hand, was able to assist John in some of the fight scenes by protecting him, which makes us sustain less belief that he killed like a 100 people by himself whilst also lessening the plot armour John has because the Tracker had legitimate reasons to keep him alive, creates fresh new dynamics between antagonists and protagonists, and he had some funny moments with his dog. Obviously he wasn’t the best character but he was definitely relevant to cement the tone and characteristics of separate characters. Also action with a dog is always fresh and exciting.

The only problem with John Wick was how it seemed to be trying to do 2 things at once as the films went on. It was praised for being a thrilling yet quite realistic action movie with rigorous attention to detail. But it then started to move more into the realms of fantasy/myth (which it did quite well) as the films progressed which inevitably left it open to taking more and more liberties with realism. People were annoyed with the deviations made in no. 4 even though in my eyes it all ties into the greater over arching message in the story.

As a regular viewer. I love this movie other than that ending that i feel perfect for the conclusion of John Wick's story. I like how nearly every single key character or named character has at least motivation to be there. Caine is his daughter, Mr Nobody he needs the money for the dogs, winston, and others. The motivation of these character made me feel conflicted like "I dont want A to die but i also dont want John to die" or during Osaka i wish that they just turn John in and etc. Its been a long time since i feel conflicted like this in an action movie.

A lot of people critized the last few Wick films for the story becoming more and more unrealistic and silly. And while they might be right, I truly do not care. I am here for the action, choreography, fun characters and cinnematography. If the story has to become crazier and crazier in order for these amazing fights to happen then so be it. I loved John Wick 4 so much I went to the cinema 2 times already and I am considering going again. Donnie Yen's character was absolutely my favorite this time around and stole every scene he was in, everyone else was amazing also. If we get some spin-offs, I won't be mad.

I loved the film, saw it twice in the span of 2 days. My slight nitpick would be though, is those digital backdrops like the duel scene.. I get why they do it that way but wish it actually felt like it was an actual city at sunrise in the background. Dunno but to my eyes, it seemed like a digital background & I couldn't stop focusing on it.

Better than everything out doesnt mean perfect. The plot armor in these john wick movies got worse and worse with each movie. Like how they show absolutely zero stopping power damage when the bullets hit the jacket. But when he runs our of ammo and kicks or punches dudes in that same armor it knocks them out and hurts them? The force from a bullet even though not penetrating the skin is far stronger than a punch. And him getting hit by cars falling 5 stories multiple times killing 300 people in 10 mins is just ridiculous. Not 1 hitman just decided to shoot him from behind from across the street while he focused on other people. They all nust bum rush him. The enemies show zero intelligence and its like running through a first shooter video game campeign on easiest difficulty. These movies are awesome. But a little less bs would go a long way. I get p want to see high speed chases and explosions but getting more of that at the expense of a good story with little holes in the plot is a terrible trade off imo. Id be way more impressed if he like fought 8 to 10 people through the course of the night. 250 olus with all the ridiculous fall damage he is immune to is just silly. And like i said. It makes no sense that the force of getting shot by aachine gun from 5 feet away does literally nothing but a punch in the head with a godamn helmet on knocks them out. Absolutely ridiculous. All they focus on is the reload. These movies are far from perfect and 2 3 and 4 just got more ridiculous with each one.

I saw the film yesterday and it was Absolutely Awesome just Awesome. The best action scenes of the film were without doubt the Osaka Continental Battle and the Arc de Triomphe Sequence, but to be honest personal preference aside every action scene in the film was incredible all the same. I'm so hyped for the Continental TV Show and Ballerina film.

So much belief had to be suspended to make it through the movie. Ballistics alone killed it for me. Any one of the bad guys' rifles could go straight through the level 3 armor suits they were wearing. Bad guys attacking 2 or 3 at a time when there was well over a company sized element in Osaka. Bruh.
