John Wick 4 Review: A Long and Loving Embrace of the Action Genre

To be honest upfront, John Wick: Chapter 4 is not the greatest action movie ever made, because of course it's not. That's a ridiculous expectation to place on any film. Over the past decade, though, the franchise has legitimized the idea; it's been so fantastic that, sure, one could feasibly expect this next installment to be the best action film of all time. Beyond all the history and hype, though, a more realistic and authoritative view emerges — John Wick 4 is excellent. It's silly, a bit repetitive, and overlong at nearly three hours, and yet it is so overstuffed with jaw-dropping perfection (from a single shot to a whole sequence), it's hard to call it anything but incredible from the perspective of an action fan.
