John Wick Chapter 4 is from new writers, which might explain why it revolves around a Sabbat ritual instead of Camarilla traditions.
And Donnie Yen as a guy called
Caine/ And yes, he uses a sword.
Doesn’t explain what Fat Bastard from Austin Powers was doing in it though. Seriously WTF? If you need a toilet break, I think going during the Berlin nightclub scene will actually improve the film for you.
It also features the most over-the-top baroque prop yet. How would that even work without a long wait? Not the biggest laugh in the cinema, but it was for me.
Did they forget that the High Table are crime royalty, not regular royalty?
Shame that the reference to The Warriors didn’t extend to one of the gangs of extras being the Baseball Furies. It would have made about as much sense
So yeah, fourth of four, by quite some way. Basically did none of the things I liked about the series.
And fat suit.
The spinoffs are likely to beat it. Okay, maybe not the one with Mel Gibson in it.
The most John Wick related fun I had today was discovering that one of series director Chad Stahelski’s early stunt and acting roles was as the spiny-headed demon in the Buffy episode Homecoming. That amused me greatly.
And a sad spoiler.
