Designed as a culmination as much as a continuation, JohnWick4 may not be consistent enough to rank as the franchise’s finest, but when it gets going, it cooks with gas. Read beastobsessed's review:
borders on being too much of a good thing—both in the sense that it’s the fourth installment of a series that could have easily ended after its first, and with regards to its gargantuan 169-minute runtime. Fortunately, more turns out to be just about right in this case, with the film offering up such an onslaught of brutal, breakneck action that it’s easy to forgive its less compelling narrative excesses.
Caine has no interest in this gig , but in order to protect his innocent violinist daughter from Gramont, he accepts the assignment. Almost immediately, he’s found his target in Osaka, where Wick has taken refuge with another long-standing pal, Shimazu , who risks life and limb—despite his daughter Akira’s protestations—to help fend off an invading High Table battalion.
This deus ex machina is a bit absurd, if in keeping with the saga’s obsession with portentous rituals, rigid moral codes, gilded markers and crests, and other assorted world-building details, all of which have become so prevalent that they flirt with the ludicrous. Still, they add an extra layer of over-the-top severity and enormity to a venture predicated on insane immoderation.
