Keanu Reeves was about as big as movie stars get in the late '90s/early 2000s thanks to hits like "The Matrix" propelling him to superstardom. Yet, the trite saying of "the bigger they are, the harder they fall" came calling. By 2010, Hollywood wasn't calling the "Speed" actor anymore, just as he was approaching 50. "It sucks, but it's just the way it is," Reeves explained to IndieWire in 2014. "The last studio movie I did was '47 Ronin,' but before that it had been a long time — probably 'The Day the Earth Stood Still,'" which came out all the way back in 2008. Luckily, his fortunes were about to change in a big way thanks to the little assassin movie that could: "John Wick.

Plot: The price on John Wick’s head has gone way up. Mr. Wick, however, has a plan to finally free himself from the High Table. Will he succeed with hired guns waiting around every corner?
Review: John Wick has been going through some things. After Chapter 2 and Chapter 3 – Parabellum, the hitman had a price on his head. That’s what happens when you kill High Table crime lord Santino D’Antonio. If that wasn’t enough, his old friend Winstone (Ian McShane) shot him at the end of the previous film. The price has increased as we enter the thrilling new ground explored in John Wick: Chapter 4. Keanu Reeves and franchise regulars Laurence Fishburne, Lance Reddick, and Ian McShane are back. The fourth installment is directed by Chad Stahelski once again. And this wild chapter is written by Shay Hatten (who also co-wrote Parabellum) and Michael Finch. And...
