John Wick: Chapter 3 – Parabellum reloads for another hard-hitting round of the brilliantly choreographed, over-the-top action that fans of the franchise demand.
John Wick: Chapter 3 – Parabellum is the kind of movie that makes you want to grab a popcorn and a soda, sit back, and enjoy the ride. With hundreds of deaths and non-stop action, it’s amazing how the film manages to keep things fresh and exciting.

Plus, the returning characters like Anjelica Huston’s Ruska Roma boss and Laurence Fishburne’s Bowery King add some much-needed depth to the story. If you’re looking for a fun, action-packed movie that doesn’t take itself too seriously, John Wick: Chapter 3 – Parabellum is definitely worth checking out.

When there are hundreds of deaths, it’s pretty incredible that John Wick 3 sustains its inventiveness and sheer bonkers-ness.

The script (series creator Derek Kolstad leads the writing team) is excellent, especially when regular characters such Anjelica Huston’s Ruska Roma boss and Laurence Fishburne’s Bowery King return to beef up the dialogue.

Buying a ticket to a John Wick movie is like signing control of your lizard brain away to the director, Chad Stahelski, for 130 minutes. Luckily, he knows what to do with it.

Reeves and Dacascos’s brutal, climactic sparring session definitely leaves us wanting more, not to mention wondering about a potential Oscars sound editing category for shattering glass.

Reeves is committed to this role. He excels in this genre because of his willingness to push his body to the limit in the name of authenticity.

The action scenes in this series keep the viewer invested, whereas our interest in the ever-expanding mythology and personal motivations of Wick have thinned over two sequels.

These films are an amazing example of how attention to detail that other franchise would overlook creates a more richly realized fictional world.
