Sean Connery, Gene Hackman . . . Hell, even Gene Kelly’s last major movie role was in Xanadu! At least Lance’s family and friends will always have this. Not many get to say they peaced out in one of the best movies of the early 21st century. And, I’m not ashamed to admit it. I choked down a lump in my throat. The honor was all mine, Lance.

    The four John Wick movies are a love letter to stunt men, and done in a epic way by a former stuntman. Appropriate. This movie, all of the John Wick movies, is a wake up call for Hollywood to FINALLY have a stunts category, as it requires as much talent to memorize 300 moves of fight choreo as it does to memorize lines.

    I love how this movie closed John's story out. Personally to me. I think John, after everything, simply wanted to die and be reunited with his wife. One thing that isn't stressed throughout the movies is that chapters one through four take place in the span of a month or less. From the time John lost his wife it's been one fight after another and he hasn't had the time properly grieve. Santino took what was left of his life when he blew up his house. And it's just been one long rampage for him. And in that moment when John was in front of Santino in the Continental I think he knew and welcomed the consequences of what would happen if he killed him. He just wanted to die. But not before he did some serious damage to the High Table and what they stood for. Never cross a man that has lost everything and no longer has any ties to the living world. They could've stopped this but didn't bc they believed it would make them weak. What John did and how he did it. Put the fear of God in the High Table. Bc what made John dangerous is that he had no loyalty or fear of the High Table. And if there's one. There will be another.

    That "simply wanted to die and be reunited with is wife" is just not true and way too cliche lol This "reunion with wife" or any reunion with a person who passed away is nothing but a myth because no one knows if that could actually happen. When a person dies, the living could only guess or make theories on what happens to the dead in the after life. And this is why John wants to live - to remember his wife. In JW3, when The Elder asked him, "Why do you wish to live?", John answered and I quote "My wife. To remember her. To remember us." This is the sole reason why he's fighting for his life. He wanted to live though, he will not take any bullshit from anyone. It may not be obvious because he doesn't really get physically angry but he has anger and temper issues lol When he's "mad", all he could think of is to just kill. That's where the purpose of Winston's character comes in since the first movie: To keep John centered and guided. Without Winston, he will just go on a killing spree for as long as he can lmao. Additionally, he doesn't give a fuck about the High Table or what they "stood" for nor he wants to do them any serious damage. The High Table keeps trying to kill John because he broke the rules but John doesn't care about the rules nor wants to do anything with the underworld anymore, he just wants his freedom. Even at the opening scene in JW4, he gave his last shot to beg for his freedom but The Elder's successor didn't listen.

    To me, Chapter 4 is more about how John was able to free himself from his persona as the Baba Yaga, Death's Emissary and the man that everyone fears, finding peace and freedom through his own death, as his survival would threaten and shake the foundation of the High Table, which would heavily disrupt the very integrity of the whole underworld. I am moved and touched by how a man decides to put "Loving Husband" on his grave, despite being the most feared and reputable man in the whole underworld. Shows the emotional depth of John towards freeing his life of killing and his sense of loss and love towards the only women that truly loved him. Chapter 4 really sets the bar up for the franchise, which I am very excited to see how the franchise will continue to show us a different side of each of the characters in the movie, such as Winston, Caine, or even how John met Koji Shimazu and Caine during their prime Definitely a must to watch Chapter 4 if you are a die-hard fan for the John Wick franchise!

It has to have some sentimental emotional connection. Personally, I think 4 is a good send off. Do I think he's dead? Eh, no. I don't think so. But only time will tell if 5 would be worth it.

The ending of 4 was the perfect stalemate to meet John wicks journey and continue his afterlife after freeing himself from the high table forever. There will always be a high table and it will be impossible for it to be finished as they will just bring more replacement each time. It was a perfect send off for johns story but no need for a 5th imo.

If he's dead, he's with his wife. If not, hes free from the table and living his life without killing. To throw him back into that life after getting his freedom would be redundant bc it'll be the third time.

    You nailed it in your opening. I saw 4 on the big screen last night and I couldn’t sleep afterwards. I was left thinking, this is to stunt-action movies what Red Dead Redemption 2 is to video games. This could wind up being the high watermark, never to be matched? Nice to have lived to see that moment for myself, not so nice for the art form’s future. Even near rivals don’t have someone like Keanu, with his charm and international reputation, all of which enhances the high concept aspect of this as an action set piece affair, making it possible for an audience to love a psychotic serial murderer - a balancing act that the Bond movies have succeeded at with mixed results over the years. Only Tom Cruise’s Mission Impossible movies come even close, yet we all have to leave any baggage about the star at the cinema door, rather than carry our love for the man into the movie with us. We all admire Cruise, and like what we see in interviews, but the thought of him belonging to a nutty cult with criminal instincts lurks somewhere in the back of our minds. While we feel we know who Keanu is and his reputation for kindness and gentlemanly behaviour, is legendary. As with RDR 2, people who understand the industries from which these achievements spring, cannot help but see an even greater shift toward cynical short-cutting and the increasing tendency for industrial levels of audience and staff exploitation . . . all for their money, of course. So receiving something of value that justifies the cost of the cinema ticket or video game is increasingly rare. I hope to be proved wrong about that, but the John Wick universe strikes me as a perfect storm of stunt men who turned directors and producers, international action icons, blue chip casting, imagination, lore, wit and beauty, (oh, the cinematography!) all melted down to fashion these four items of canonic perfection for lovers of the craft to treasure, like the rare gold coins with which Wick transacts his business. Sure, we all have a few more stashed in our collections. But we cannot help but fear that the mint will never make such quality again in a world that always seeks to debase the value with forgery and clipping.

    I love how "John Wick" is like how "Sherlock" is used to describe someone able to deduce something very easily or someone is showing off his or her intelligence. However, "John Wick" is used to describe anyone very proficient with guns, close quarters combat, and both in combination as well as able to improvise and adapt. The Resident Evil 4 Remake is the closest to fulfilling that fantasy of being "John Wick". Even though I want more John Wick, I am content with this being the end of his story. However, given how much attention and detail has been given to filming these movies with no unneeded cuts, it is very bizarre when they are talking about John Wick at his grave wondering where he is now, which comes off initially has whether he it in Heaven or Hell, they focus one the dog which suddenly perks up upon seeing something like it recognized something, giving the unintended implication that John Wick may not actually be dead. They seem to purposefully make it vague enough that either seems viable.

    I love your in depth review on John Wick 4. You picked up on so many details and nuances that most people did not because all they want to see is an action movie or they just want to hate on it only because it is so popular. The movie is phenomonal and deserves all the praise and several Oscar noms including Best Picture, Best Cinematography, Best Editing and Best Sound Design.

    Awesome review! I def felt like the lack of lines for Keanu was the statement of the the Film. John Wick speaks with AcTiOn not words. It is an inspired film to cap off an inspired franchise that nobody saw coming and everyone wanted. After 4 films, to keep getting better, when it is essentially the same thing over, and over, and over, and over. Incredible. Chad Stahelski’s raw, novel, neo noir, concept in John Wick is honed to a razor sharp Katana that vibrates with the glowing red power of all the tortured souls in hell, for Chapter 4. It is criminal that Stunt men and women do not have an Oscar category. If they ever needed a use case as to why they should have one you don’t have to look any farther than John Wick: Chapter 4 or Mad Max: Fury Road. By the by: was it just me or did Donnie Yen look like he was having the time of his life in this film, holy shit did he add some serious mojo!

    Im so damn relieved to hear how awesome this movie is, because to tell you the truth - based on the trailers it was looking to me like it sorta jumped and shark by being too over-the-top while also looking like the series had finally grown stale, (in the same sorta way some people believe was the case when it came to the previous installment in the series). Can't wait to see it!

    You are spot on with your analysis. And, now that you mention it, why isn't there a spot on the Oscars (not that I give that much of a $hit about the Oscars) for stunts? 'Best Stunt', 'Best Stunt Performer' and 'Best Stunt Team'. If we had those I think both Keanu and Tom Cruise would be needing entire man-caves just for their Oscars for those categories.

    I think JW4 is a masterpiece and for all the reasons you mentioned in the video. At the same time, I can't but help find the movie depressing. It reminds me of what is happening to the American people. We are all being slowly crushed by an elitist system just like the high table and we have two choices: fight and be crushed to death instantly or surrender and die slowly. JW4 exemplifies this as John stands up to the table and wins but dies in the process. And unlike John Wick, we the people have done nothing to deserve it. It would've been nice if the movie had a happier ending by allowing John to live thus allowing the audience to have more catharsis from the emotional and physical trauma John sustained. But like many other movies being made today, it chose the darker ending. And while it doesn't ruin the movie, it makes for a slightly unsettling conclusion to the series as a whole especially in these trying times.

    As a regular viewer. I love this movie other than that ending that i feel perfect for the conclusion of John Wick's story. I like how nearly every single key character or named character has at least motivation to be there. Caine is his daughter, Mr Nobody he needs the money for the dogs, winston, and others. The motivation of these character made me feel conflicted like "I dont want A to die but i also dont want John to die" or during Osaka i wish that they just turn John in and etc. Its been a long time since i feel conflicted like this in an action movie.

    Honestly, mr nobody was great in what he served in the movie. He had a decent fight scene with John, he helped establish the ruthlessness of Marquis by stabbing his hand, was able to assist John in some of the fight scenes by protecting him, which makes us sustain less belief that he killed like a 100 people by himself whilst also lessening the plot armour John has because the Tracker had legitimate reasons to keep him alive, creates fresh new dynamics between antagonists and protagonists, and he had some funny moments with his dog. Obviously he wasn’t the best character but he was definitely relevant to cement the tone and characteristics of separate characters. Also action with a dog is always fresh and exciting.
