Review of John Wick: Chapter 3 - Parabellum (2019) by Brent_Marchant — 29 May 2019

If "pornography" is truly defined in "having no redeeming social value," then this positively awful release would most certainly qualify. The film's simplistic, virtually nonexistent plot, endless fight sequences that quickly become repetitive and boring, endlessly gratuitous violence, and monotone acting by the protagonist combine to transform what should be a compelling action thriller into a tasteless snooze that had me checking my watch more than a few times.

With the exception of a few intriguing supporting performances and the occasional infusion of humor, this one has nothing (and I do mean nothing) else to offer. Many dissenting critics have said this plays like a video game version of the franchise, which seems like an all-too-fitting description.

Unless you have a penchant for watching senseless, recurring, brutal violence run amok, save your money.
