Get Outta da House Cinema 2023 - John Wick: Chapter 4

John Wick: Chapter 4 is the latest pre-Easter blockbuster. Grossing $244 million worldwide and become the fifth highest grossing film of 2023, thus far! With a wet week ahead, limited competition, I think the fourth chapter will 100% hit $300 million by the next time I check.

The sequel to John Wick: Chapter 3 – Parabellum, comes well before the whole COVID thing hit in 2019. So I kinda should have had a quick recap before heading into the close to three hour action, shot em up.

This is the fourth installment in the John Wick franchise. Keanu Reeves returns as the titular character, alongside Donnie Yen, Bill SkarsgÄrd, Laurence Fishburne, Hiroyuki Sanada, Shamier Anderson, Lance Reddick, Scott Adkins, and Ian McShane. and incredible singer, turned kiss ass action hero, Rina Sawayama.

In Chapter four , John Wick sets out to get revenge on the High Table and those who left him for dead.

The film heads to filming locations in France, Germany, New York City, and Japan. Both Japan and Germany are damn epic with some monster action sequences. Sometimes right in the middle of dance floors.


No spoilers here, however a chapter five is unlikely for a bit...

Spin offs however are on the cards. Reeves and McShane will reprise their respective roles as Wick and Winston in the upcoming film Ballerina.

Set for a 2024 release,  Ballerina, a spin-off to the John Wick films set between the events of Chapter 3 and Chapter 4.

Also in development is a spin-off television series entitled The Continental, which will feature younger versions of several John Wick characters. This will likely stream in Australia on Stan. This will be a huge TV title!

Now to the star rating. With its long ass duration, it's getting marked down. The action sequences, Rina Sawayama were awesome.

So that said, the film gets 3.5 Stars. Not the best of 2023, however 100% not the worst either. If you are asking who is Rina Sawayama? Take a look/listen below.
