'John Wick: Chapter 4' Review: There Will Be Blood, Yeah (The New York Times)

In the latest and longest movie set in Wick World, Keanu Reeves's titular assassin visits Paris and paints the town red.

It’s also reassuringly ordered, never more so than in its violence, which in Wick World is pure, eye-popping, body-shaking, transporting entertainment, something that (to borrow from [another philosopher](https://www.nytimes.com/2012/04/19/arts/television/dick-clark-tv-host-and-icon-of-new-years-eve-is-dead-at-82.html?pagewanted=all)) has a good beat and you can dance to. The constraints of Wick World put it safely on the side of full-blown fantasy, giving the series the feel of a grim fairy tale. [Point Blank](https://www.tcm.com/video/29683/point-blank-original-trailer/),” the Three Stooges and “ [Get Carter](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0NtstlDW0Zo).” That said, the overall story is stripped down to the point of minimalism, especially when compared to the average superhero bloat-a-thon. For the most part, Wick chases or is chased by other assassins, shooting and stabbing, grappling and grunting in a series of visually distinct, meticulously staged and filmed set pieces. [how the franchise’s greatest action sequences came to be](https://www.nytimes.com/2019/05/19/movies/john-wick-action-scenes.html?action=click&pgtype=Article&state=default&module=styln-john-wick&variant=show®ion=MAIN_CONTENT_1&block=storyline_top_links_recirc). Life for many in Wick World is, to borrow Hobbes’s formulation, “solitary, poor, nasty, brutish and short,” but it’s also sentimental and It might seem like a distorted mirror of our world, but what’s notable are all the ways it’s different from ours — not just in its depiction of power but also of violence, which, for all the arterial spray, is as untethered from reality as it is in zombie flicks. This allows you to see and luxuriate in the performers’ physicality, in their grace and steely power, as well as to appreciate the geometry and precision of the fight choreography. Despite its seemingly Hobbesian aspect, Wick World does have rules, and by the second movie, the character is declared “excommunicado,” a word that underscores the High Table’s profile as a shadowy, quasi-religious elite manifestation of absolute power. A vulgar pleasure of the “John Wick” series is that it aestheticizes violence without the usual blah-blah rationales and appeals to conscience. This focus underscores the frailty and impermanence of these bodies, their humanness, especially Wick’s as this seemingly invincible man is repeatedly brutalized. A virtuoso of death, Wick (Keanu Reeves) has his reasons, or so the series insists, but he kills because it is what he does.

Keanu Reeves on John Wick 4 Set Accident: I Cut Open a Man's Head (Variety)

Keanu Reeves talked about the accidents that sometimes happen on the set of the "John Wick" movies.

In “John Wick: Chapter 4,” Reeves’ eponymous assassin faces off with new enemies and reunites with old friends on his mission to destroy the villainous High Table once and for all. And you see the effort and the commitment from the team.” The actor had to learn how to do a reverse 180 and drift all while reloading his prop gun and shooting it out of the door. Reeves has four “John Wick” movies under his belt, and the action franchise has required him to do insane stunts involving speeding cars, nunchucks, swords and more. “And it’s more by a good margin. “Well I mean everyone is pretty tired – but it’s the best kind of tired,” Reeves said when asked about what kind of accidents have taken place on the action-heavy “John Wick” sets.

And trying to do whatever it took to do that. It’s like climbing the mountain, and you’re hoping you can get there.” Ice water is your friend for inflammation and recovery. It really helps so much.” In a behind-the-scenes video, actor Laurence Fishburne – who’s worked with Reeves in The Matrix franchise and now John Wick films – says he applauds Reeves for continuing to work in the action genre as hard as he does. That “never-give-up attitude” is something that Reeves shares with his Wick character, whose “effort, commitment and will” come through in the way he fights his oh-so-many foes. “And then as an actor, I guess, just trying to do the best I could, you know.

John Wick 4 movie review: Brutal and beautiful, Keanu Reeves film ... (WION)

John Wick is back, and he's taking names, kicking butts, and using endlessly creative methods to dispatch his impeccably dressed adversaries.

From the neon lights of Osaka to the fiery reds and oranges of a Moroccan desert, John Wick 4 is a veritable symphony of hues. The action is brutal and beautiful, and on a whole new level in John Wick 4. John Wick 4 is also a gorgeous-looking film, even beyond the fights and clever camera wizardry. In many ways, John Wick 4 is the most ruminative this franchise has ever been, delving deeper into the world of assassins, the morality of their actions, and their motivations. Or is John doomed to inhabit this purgatory of ever-deadly goons trying to get a piece of him (and those millions of dollars; $40 million by last count) and he carving a path through them until he eventually succumbs? The film is an extravaganza chock-full of brutal violence, awesome stunt-work, and, most surprising of all, a heart and an emotional core.

He realizes that John Wick isn’t so bad when he shoots a bullet into the villain and saves his dog while Wick is literally fighting for his own life from Nobody’s line of fire.

'John Wick: Chapter 4' starring Keanu Reeves has been getting rave reviews from critics since its screenings. Here's what they say.

Redefines action, and throws light on the vulnerable side of John Wick. I love how the entire franchise is built on the sentence fragment “Wouldn’t it be cool if…” and then just putting all of the ideas for action scenes that come to the writers into a movie. Earns every bit of that runtime, with Keanu Reeves once again performing the most insane stunts and Chad Stahelski providing some of the best action filmmaking. You can hear the inspo most in the score this time around. [March 7, 2023] [#JohnWick4]pulls influence from Sergio Leone Westerns than in previous chapters, woven into the fabric with nuance and sharp craft. This is definitely the biggest & most badass JOHN WICK movie yet w/ a runtime near 3 hours & an ending everyone will be talking about. Lots of surprises in this one that’s going to deliver a divisive ending. The film had its premiere in London on 6 March. He visits old allies in his quest to take down what is known as the High Table — an authority of high-ranking members of the criminal council. John Wick: Chapter 4 continues the story of the titular former assassin who is forced to come out of retirement after Russian mobsters kill a puppy given to him by his late wife. The fourth instalment has long been one of the most anticipated films of 2023.

Keanu Reeves and John Wick: Chapter 4 director Chad Stahelski reveal how they filmed the impossible stunts of the John Wick franchise and more.

And basically we kind of interact and then we come around, I draw and then he unleashes the cane and all of the choreography we had went out the window. So can you sort of just talk a little bit about filming that and you standing there where cars are going by, you and the fact that that's really happening? They go up and we slow down their rate of descent so we can put them down the ground a little bit easier so they can survive. And we just thought, well, we trade off so much with the video game world and we, we like so much of like Asian cinema, so we wanna do a top shot. You have a good rehearsal and you have a cast member that does 98% of it himself. Can you sort of talk about filming that and why you wanted to do a oner? So I was training dog hits, getting hit by the dog and pulled by the dog. So when we get together with, you know, I got my 30 stunt guys plus 30 of the dance people, they all kind of work well together, and then we just build the extras out in sections of 50. STAHELSKI: Really, my dad's a plumber, so I grew up with all these water fixtures growing up, and he had this waterfall feature in the house that we had worked on when I was like 14. Like I on number four, as you guys just watched, we tried to do a lot of different characters and a lot of different storylines all converging on John's storyline. But I think the movie we released is absolutely the best version of everything we've tried, and we tried all kinds of different stuff just to proof check it. And it was like the marker and all of the friendships–
