Review of John Wick: Chapter 4 (2023) by Southofc — 24 Mar 2023
A fitting tribute to the legend of Baba Yaga.
Reeves' frankly magnificent return as an action star with John Wick' (2014) deserved an equally epic fourth installment. Director Chad Stahelski, cinematographer Dan Laustsen and an army of stunt choreographers have crafted a crazy good action film. Some of the set pieces look humanly impossible to achieve, one of which involves Wick playing a real-life version of Crossy Road as he dukes it out with hitmen to survive in live traffic. At one point, the camera follows Wick as he drives literal circles around his opponents and shoots them down. Another set piece has Wick climbing over 200 stairs as he fights wave after wave of assassins. And yes, you guessed it right.
He tumbled down multiple flights of stairs, many many times. These amazing stunts are well-shot and brilliantly edited. A particular scene in a nightclub is especially memorable. Wick chases and beats an enemy down, as falling sheets of water soak him to the bone.
