Star Kenau Reeves takes on another thrilling chapter of the John Wick franchise. On this chapter, John Wick is on excommunicado from previous chapters whereby he murdered one of he’s enemies on the business grounds and which the high table finds it wrong, and you will pay by them taking your life as an example to other members not to do business on business ground.

 On this chapter John Wick seeks vengeance against the high table specifically on one member of the table Marquis Vincet, as he made he's life a living hell as John had to survive by hiding in the underground where he found refuge from his old friend Bowery King and he also had to  move from one country to another seeking help from some of his friends.

Overall performances from some of the actors were beyond perfection, starting with Scott Adkins who plays killa on this chapter, he went out of his usual characters as on previous movies he use to play action hero and the muscle man who beats up everybody like in one of his popular movies Undisputed, as he was and still is known as Boyka a Russian prison fighter. He now switched characters to being one of these big thugs who will end up in conflict with John Wick and he is also in costume as he is portrayed as an overweight villain.

The direction of the film by the director was well organized and well structured as he was able to show us where John was hiding from, and he was able to build tension out of that. Even though this movie had moment where I was watching and I was like 'this is a lie' whereby john was shooting at one of his enemies from the Marquis, they used their suits as a bullet proof vest and the suits were not even thick enough to be the size of a real bullet proof vest. This was one of his errors in this fourth chapter as in the previous ones the actors were wearing real bullet proof vest.

The movie is edited to perfection even though some parts are too much of lies but they were well executed, and the scenes were well lined up perfectly as they introduce each scene.

Visually it is enjoyable and interesting to watch as they use different location with diverse cultures to add interest to all the viewers who are interested in other cultures. The angles of the movie were to perfection as the colors in the movie from the background scenes add interest to every scene.


The sound effects were aligning to every scene as they can raise the hair at the back of your head whenever there is serious action to take place.

The overall movie is jaw dropping as you get all the headshots that John gives to his enemies from the first chapter till now. This chapter is blended with a distinct set of fighters with unique fighting skills such as, karate and the Sumo wrestlers to mention a few.

Out of 10 I will give the whole movie an eight, as it is one of the best Action movies to have dropped in 2023, and the ending is perfect as it leaves us hanging wanting to know what is next for the franchise.
