John Wick 4 Release Date Netflix: From the moment Baba Yaga dropped a gold coin in front of Charon at The Continental, the John Wick series set up an instantly fascinating mythology: a global chessboard where an old code pits those who work for the villainous High Table against those who want to suplex 300-pound bodyguards through that very table. In Chapter 4 of this story, John Wick’s vendetta has forced the Table into open warfare, and the Table thrives on John’s acceptance of the fact that he can’t win that war on his own. The rules and consequences that the John Wick universe has worked hard to set up give the fourth chapter a rock-solid structure that allows director Chad Stahelski and star Keanu Reeves to stage a symphony of action, with each part working to make the others better. It is the longest John Wick movie. It is John Wick’s best movie. And it’s John Wick’s best movie.
John’s first move pushes the High Table past the point where they can’t go back. Wick must be punished, and Bill Skarsgrd’s Marquis de Gramont is happy to do it. Skarsgrd is the first supervillain in the John Wick universe. As a representative of the High Table, he oozes self-importance and hypocrisy with every French-accented word he purrs. In Chapter 2, Santino D’Antonio’s main power over John came from an unpaid blood debt. In contrast, the sadist Marquis uses the power of the High Table like a dapper Darth Vader, and his cruel actions make him an ideal opponent for John and his friends. The High Table bureaucracy has been hiding behind middlemen like Winston (Ian McShane) and The Adjudicator for a long time, and Skarsgard does a great job of showing how the organisation gets more and more corrupt as you move up the ladder.
Chapter 4 makes it clear that John Wick is right up there with Neo from The Matrix as one of Keanu Reeves’ almost unbeatable action hero lineup. In the first movie, what made Wick so interesting was how angry he was after losing his wife. Now, that anger has turned into something even more dangerous: resolve and focus. Reeves shows these qualities with practised restraint. He does such a good job that the character’s occasional one-liners or subtly raised eyebrows feel natural and not like a cliche of the genre. sometimes if you bake your cake well enough, you get to eat it, too.
Reeves’ and Stahelski’s contributions to The Matrix’s success can’t be overstated, but the John Wick movies have always felt like more personal celebrations of the actor’s dedication to the craft of highly choreographed action. When you think about what a labour of love it is for Reeves, it’s even more satisfying to see John Wick’s ongoing fight to get his soul back work so well.
Even though John Wick is the name of the series, his journey has shown how important social contracts and shared history are. With Chapter 4’s “Murderer’s Row” of John Wick characters, that investment finally pays off. Winston, Charon (Lance Reddick), and the Bowery King (Laurence Fishburne) give John advice. Even though Reddick and Fishburne are only in a few scenes, their impact is amplified by the gravitas and command of their characters that have become their trademarks. Even though Winston shot John off the roof of the Continental at the end of Chapter 3 (which no one cares about; in this world, it’s like accidentally tripping someone), he still acts as John’s surrogate father, and McShane’s usual confidence adds to the myth of John Wick and keeps the Continental manager’s reputation as the smoothest operator in the game.
Donnie Yen’s Caine stands out among the other great new cast members. The blind assassin is a powerful villain who has known Wick for a long time. He doesn’t want to follow The Marquis’s orders without question, just like John didn’t want to “serve and be of service.” This similarity gives their interactions a surprising amount of empathy, but it doesn’t stop Caine from going after John with everything he has. Yen’s friendly personality and brutal efficiency give his “Gun Fu” style in the series its own lightness and style, and Caine’s crazy creativity in battle leads to fun, laugh-out-loud endings.
Also in the mix is Shamier Anderson’s unnamed operative Tracker. He has a dog in a John Wick movie, which is a big deal. Tracker’s shifting loyalties, fighting skills, and close relationship with his dog friend give Chapter 4 a nice, simmering paranoia that can be used when Wick’s progress needs a wild card to spice things up. Klaus is also there, and I have to call that guy out. I know two things about him: he is a big boy and his name is Klaus. His part takes less time than you’ve spent reading about him here, but I promise that he’s both important and hard to forget.
In a time when people are more likely to complain about movies that last longer than two hours, Chapter 4’s fast-paced action shows that movies should be as long as they need to be. Over the course of three Wick movies, director Chad Stahelski has gotten a good feel for when to move John quickly through a room full of bad guys and when to slow down and let him and the audience enjoy the carnage John can cause in smaller fights. The script by Shay Hatten and Michael Finch shows how well Stahelski paid attention to detail in every part of Chapter 4’s action.
For example, it’s clear early on that the High Table forces coming after John wear full body armour that can’t be broken. Yes, this does sound like something from a video game. But Stahelski makes up for that with action, not dialogue. Wick’s armoured enemies force him to change his usual strategy: to shoot people in the part of their body that needed it most. I hope you came looking for neck shots, because Chapter 4 will give you a lot of them. In a similar way, the funny idea of homemade incendiary rounds is introduced in a line of dialogue that you probably won’t remember until the first time a bad guy gets killed by one. It might sound strange to call a nearly three-hour-long movie “economical,” but nothing from Chapter 4 is wasted.
The High Table’s long siege of the Osaka Continental may be the best action scene in any of the John Wick movies so far, and this series has already beaten almost every other contender in that category. Stahelski does a great job of showing the attack from different points of view and keeping the momentum of each character’s actions going through the long bloodbath. Chapter 3 showed us what happens when a Continental manager crosses the Table, but Hiroyuki Sanada’s Koji Shimazu, Winston’s cool counterpart, faces their full wrath with unwavering conviction.
Stahelski uses Shimazu’s relationship with his daughter Akira (Rina Samayawa) to show what morality looks like in a world full of killers, and Sanada is just as impressive when he’s not holding a sword as when he is. What makes the Osaka sequence even better is that it supports the theme of friendship in Chapter 4: Wick doesn’t try to get away from the Table quickly or quietly. Instead, he tries to do as much damage as possible, because he knows he’s the one who got his friend into this mess. Later, a sickeningly stressful chase and fight around the Arc de Triomphe, which happens when John is at his most stressed, shows how closely the action is tied to John’s state of mind. Chapter 4 never forgets that the best action scenes in movies also show and strengthen character.
Chapter 4 raises the bar for production design and cinematography in a series that has always looked very stylish. The buildings in Osaka, Paris, Berlin, and New York are all different, which gives director of photography Dan Laustsen a lot of different ways to paint the characters in the series’ signature candy-colored neon colours. The Osaka Continental’s ultra-modern light installations, Paris’ warm streetlamps, and a Manhattan sunset cutting through a story-high bank of shades in the Marquis’ office all give each movement of the story a quick-to-read palette that gives each city a unique look and makes sure we always know where John is. All of this is made even better by Tyler Bates and Joel J. Richard’s punchy score, which follows Chapter 4 as it moves from culture to culture and talks back and forth with the action in ways that emphasise and undercut big moments in a very effective way.
It sounded like an impossible mission, but the Baba Yaga has a history of delivering on those: John Wick: Chapter 4 is the best action movie of the last 10 years and the best modern epic. This is something that Keanu Reeves and Chad Stahelski have been trying to do since 2014. Creative, thrillingly choreographed action choreography and cinematography abound in Wick’s world war, as do finely pitched performances from an excellent and unforgettable cast of friends and villains led by a merciless Bill Skarsgrd, yet the film never loses its hold on the sensitivity that puts John’s fight for redemption at the core of every gunshot fired and every edged weapon swung. Slide Chapter 4 a gold coin across the table and witness what happens when John Wick lands a perfect shot.
