The John Wick franchise continues to evolve and offer a fresh perspective on the criminal underworld and delivers some of the best action and gun-play sequences.

| Original Score: 9/10 | Jan 29, 2025

John Wick: Chapter 4 continues to bring what the franchise does best, even if gets a bit overindulgent with its stellar action at times.

| Original Score: 4.5/5 | Jan 6, 2025

Few sequels can one-up their predecessors.

| Sep 20, 2024

Nearly three hours of bone-crushing, elegantly choreographed violence: this is what great action movies are made of.

| Original Score: 5/5 | Sep 18, 2024

As much as John Wick: Chapter 4 borrows from the previous films, its immense action set-pieces and general absurdity make this a wholly worthy entry and a fantastic cinematic spectacle.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Sep 3, 2024

Part of the movie’s appeal can be traced to the class warfare on display. In Wick’s tired eyes and battered body, we see a symbol of the worker, whose labor is controlled by arbitrary rules and used to prop an indulgent and empty culture.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Jul 20, 2024

It’s astounding how this franchise has steadily improved with each instalment, and this time around, Stahelski and co. laid all their cards down on the table and crafted an action masterpiece.

| Original Score: 10/10 | Jul 12, 2024

The resonant boom of John Wick punching shakes up the auditorium; it is enough to make you jump right out of your seat. But it serves another fundamental purpose: to acclimatize you with the heavy-handed vibe of what’s about to follow.

| Original Score: 5/5 | Jul 9, 2024

At some point, the original premise of the franchise– “if the worst man in existence found salvation”– runs its course and the saved becomes damned again.

| Jul 7, 2024

With Chapter 4, by thine own hand, Stahelski and Reeves have cemented John Wick as one of the greatest action franchises in cinematic history.

| Original Score: 7/10 | Jul 5, 2024

What once felt like a breath of fresh air now reeks of mildew. It’s an aggressive feat of over-engineered popcorn violence that is either a mockery of its existence or, as the film says, a ghost seeking a graveyard.

| Original Score: 1/5 | Jul 3, 2024

Chad Stahelski’s opera of violence is one of the most artistically stirring movies of 2023.

| Mar 5, 2024

The John Wick universe is a complex blend of gun violence, vague religious imagery, and some of the best dog actors around, and the fourth installment brought the action to a new level.

| Jan 13, 2024

John Wick: Chapter 4 really is a visual spectacular. With amazing fight sequences and a storyline that never signposts or becomes predictable this film is a film that deserves more credit than most will give it.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Dec 19, 2023

Yes, Donnie Yen plays another blind character (my theory is that filmmakers do this because nobody would buy that a Donnie Yen with two functioning eyes could ever lose a fight).

| Original Score: 4/5 | Sep 8, 2023

You might have seen some of it before, but it has never been as big and brash as it is in this chapter... an action epic for the ages.

| Sep 6, 2023

Genuine cinematic poetry.

| Sep 3, 2023

John Wick 4 is the ultimate action movie.

| Aug 16, 2023

The action is fluid and all-consuming and makes it easy to overlook some of the story’s shortcomings (too many new threads, not so seamlessly woven in).

| Original Score: 3/4 | Aug 16, 2023

It is an incredible ride that is designed to entertain from the opening moments and the best way to enjoy it is to just hang on.

| Original Score: B+ | Aug 9, 2023
