Review of John Wick: Chapter 3 - Parabellum (2019) by Captain105 — 16 May 2019

John Wick Chapter 3, Parrabellum, is not for the faint of heart. An action thriller fits Parrabellum perfectly. Beautifully organized fight sequences involving the best of gun fu and coloured lights define John Wicks signature style. A series built on style.

The gruesome violence is so stylized that it almost becomes dance. Keanu Reeves does an excellent job portraying the fearsome assassin John Wick and the group of employees at the Continental are as good as always. The third in the John Wick timeline adds a new depth to Chad Stahelski’s underworld. The Moroccan element adds a great worldwide feel to the Wick storyline. The ‘heroes’ of the story are amazing yet the villains I do not think much of. The high table seems to be the antagonist organization yet we see very little of it. The assassin villain Zero does not add anything new or interesting to the storyline but only seems to fail at being John’s worst enemy. He provides little more than a sword/bullet catcher to his counterpart John Wick. By far what I found the most interesting is how the John Wick series plays like a book or one long movie. They blend so well with each other that it is hard to discern them apart.
