John Wick: Chapter 4
With the price on his head ever increasing, legendary hit man John Wick (Keanu
Reeves) takes his fight against the High Table global as he seeks out the
most powerful players in the underworld, from New York to Paris to Japan to
Berlin. The movie is fast-paced and has some incredible action scenes. Keanu
Reeves' performance as John Wick is fantastic, and he truly embodies the
character's ruthlessness and determination. The fight scenes are choreographed
beautifully and are a treat to watch. The movie also has a great supporting
cast, including Willem Dafoe, Michael Nyqvist, and
Adrianne Palicki. The characters are well-developed, and their
motivations are believable. The villains are also well crafted, and you'll find
yourself rooting for John to take them down.
