It also allows its supporting characters a little more personality and development than the films have up to this point. John Wick: Chapter 4 is exactly as satisfying as you want a John Wick movie to be. Visually, Chapter 4 is the most ambitious entry in a series known for looking incredible. Yen—no surprise—is the real standout, combining complex motives and a graceful fighting style like a smart-mouthed martial arts Baryshnikov. John’s latest obstacle to his freedom is The Marquis (Bill Skarsgård), a preening aristocrat and High Table head who not only wants to finish off John, but destroy any seed of disunion he’s created in the established order. If you go into John Wick: Chapter 4 with that mindset, you’re still going to have a great time.

As the movie begins, John Wick is still on the run for that unauthorized killing of a High Table big shot he committed back in Chapter 2. There's still a hit contract on his head—it's vaulting up toward $20 million now—and as the movie opens we see him being pursued through the Jordanian desert, on horseback, by three bad guys in search of a major payday. Yen's character, a blind assassin named Caine, is being compelled to kill John Wick; but he respects the man as a fellow pro, and that complicates things. But the most charismatic addition to the Wick universe is Hong Kong MMA master Donnie Yen, star of the phenomenally successful Ip Man movies (and veteran of such US films as Rogue One: A Star Wars Story and xXx: The Return of Xander Cage). And veteran Japanese action star Hiroyuki Sanada (Army of The Dead, Bullet Train) is a serenely appealing Shimazu, owner of the Osaka outpost of the Continental (and father of Akira, who's also a death-dealing archer-assassin). This is one of the most amazing stunt sequences I've ever seen at the movies, reminiscent in a more maximal way of the best of the Bourne films and even George Miller's Mad Max: Fury Road.
