It's quite remarkable how Tom Cruise and Keanu Reeves who's at their 50s/60s are doing their best to save the blockbuster action genre
-
The overhead action scene was insane . Literally straight out of a video game
-
Nobody gives credit to the stuntmen, they carried hard some scenes. Props to the guy literally falling through 286 stairs in a single shot.
-
What’s crazy is that the director of this movie, Chad Stahelski, was just on Joe Rogan mentioning he watches ALL of these kinds of movie criticisms - including the Critical Drinker! He gave you a cool shoutout on the episode!
-
The moment he got kicked back down the stairs felt definitely like a video game where you reach the mini boss but forget to save and you die so back to the beginning of the level.
-
The Paris roundabout sequence and the one in the room with the high camera and him firing that shotgun with dragon's breath ammo like there's bo tomorrow was worth the ticket.
-
Donnie Yen played his part so cool in this. The style, and finesse... and that, "FUCK OFF" at the end, was reading my mind.
-
I had the chance to meet the John Wick PR team when John Wick 1 came out. The idea of the movie feeling like a video game was intentional from day 1. The production team invited prominent Game Developers to pre-screening of the movie, and we all loved it, from character introduction to fast-paced gun-foo, we were stunned (ex-Blizzard, Bungie, Id Software folks)

RIP Lance Reddick, rest in peace knowing that you have played many iconic characters in TV shows and video games that will never be forgotten, and that you have had the privilege to play one of the most badass characters in the John Wick franchise. You have made great and significant contributions through your talents in acting, and you will be sorely missed. Such is life, Mr Reddick, such is life.

For me Bill Skarsgard was like a classic Bond villain. Sat back and plotted from behind the scenes with his henchmen doing all the heavy hitting.
-
Scott Atkins was unrecognisable and awesome in this movie I’m huge fan of Donnie and he delivered as always
-
I personally loved Bill Skarsgard and he made me think of Alan Rickman's performance as Hans Gruber in Die Hard who only handled a gun two or three times in the movie but was constantly calculating and stategising to take down his nemesis. I enjoyed seeing his panic and realization that if Wick made it to the duel he could actually lose so his best bet was to send an army of assasins after Wick. For me it worked.
-
Ian McShane is one of those actors who just plays himself in every role and nobody has a problem with it and in fact encourage it.
-
The dragons breath shotgun scene is up there with The Good The Bad And The Ugly graveyard scene. Cinematography at its best!
-
Excellent breakdown as always Mr. Drinker. Of all the amazing scenes in JW4, my favourite was when John saved Mr. Nobody’s dog. It served as an emotional callback to the first movie and what lead him to seek revenge. He didn't want to inflict that kind of pain on someone else, even if that person was out to kill him. A touching moment juxtaposed in relentless violence.
-
Donnie Yen was such a blast to watch. His character was super captivating and charming
-
I have huge respect for Keanu Reevs for the amount of work he did in John Wick 4 alone. There were so many choreographies that it must have taken him a lot of time to train and remember the sequence
-
You still get a bruise when hit by a bullet while wearing a vest. If anything, bullets basically function like high speed knives, so such a suit would only protect you from piercing implements. If someone takes a bat to the thing, you'll feel it.
-
This movie blew my mind. The whole sequence of events in Japan had me smiling all the way through. And I must admit, I was also crushing on Akira.
-
Did anyone else love that the seemingly massively fat and slovenly German crime-boss, could actually kick ass, do slick fight moves and almost defeat Wick? I didn't expect to see him doing high-kicks to Keanu's face, and it was a really cool surprise.
