Notes

My quick rating - 7,8/10. Hey Boppers, absolutely LOVE the homage to The Warriors. Anyone who has seen that flick will catch it right away, and if you haven't, make sure it is on your watchlist ASAP. Excellent above head camera work through extended gun battle. Rarely let's you catch your breath. 30 minutes longer of the same frenetic hong kong inspired action. Might be my favorite one to date. The fourth installment in the series delivers an adrenaline-fueled experience that kept me on the edge of my seat, so to speak. The cinematography deserves special mention, particularly the effective use of above-head camera work during the extended gun battles. This technique creates a unique visual perspective, immersing you in the action and making you feel like you're right there alongside Keanu Reeves. The film rarely gives you a chance to catch your breath, as it continuously bombards you with relentless, hong-kong-inspired action sequences. Clocking in at 30 minutes longer than its predecessors, John Wick 4 expands upon the established frenetic pace of the franchise. The movie maintains the high-octane action that fans have come to love while adding fresh twists and turns to the story. For those who've followed the series from the beginning, this entry might just become your favorite one yet. While John Wick 4 delivers on the action front, it's worth noting that the story may feel somewhat familiar. If you're seeking a deep, intricate plot, you may be left wanting more. They did try and concoct something to pull you in to a dual for an ending but it really felt more like a means to get to the next elongated scene. Nevertheless, the film compensates with its sheer intensity and expertly choreographed fight sequences. I felt the need to try and find a flaw and that was about the best I could do LOL. Laurence Fishburne again highlights every scene he is in and Bill Skarsgård was an excellent villain. THe whole flick is an action-packed thrill ride that pays homage to a cult classic and keeps the franchise's momentum going strong. With its above-head camera work, extended gun battles, and non-stop action, it delivers what fans have come to expect from the series. That being said, if you were not a fan of the insane frenetic action from the earlier films, then you are absolutely not going to get anything out of this Hard Boiled inspired sequel.
