In this gradual development and expansion of the Wickaverse, the filmmakers seem to have lost the thread of what makes the first and, at times, second film in the series work so well. It may not be consistent enough to rank as the franchise’s finest, but when it gets going, it cooks with gas.

There’s a strong argument to be made that it’s the best of the sequels. John Wick: Chapter 4 takes cinema to the next level once again. John Wick: Chapter 4 once again exceeds expectations. John Wick: Chapter 4 outdoes its formidable predecessors in nearly every respect. Here’s what critics are saying about John Wick: Chapter 4: Combine that with another great performance by Keanu Reeves, a number of scene-stealing supporting players, and some emotional and thematic substance, and you’ve got a must-see blockbuster that should be hard to beat this year - it’s your move, Mission: Impossible - Dead Reckoning Part One! Going longer, the movie apparently also goes for broke with its non-stop action, and reportedly, none of it disappoints.
