I like the wick movies even if they go over the top. This one gives a little more story that evolves as we watch. However, I take issue with the actors themselves. They are too careful not to hurt each other. Then, a blind guy, who is supposed to be formidable, ends up asking after a firefight: John, are you still there? The blind guy is not that good a fighter either. Then, I take issue with Keanu who seems to have clip after clip to reload. Where do they all come from? Furthermore, I caught him saving an empty too! What's with it taking several shots to kill & even then, they still get up. I know they wear specialized clothing that helps repel bullets but even the head shots don't register. Knives don't "cut" it either pun intended. If these bad guys are wearing bullet proof face masks, we went over this in Batman, where he complains he cannot turn his head or have free movement thus they order some masks that allow this. Here, it appears these guys can fight without turning their heads or bodies making the mask work for & against them. What we lack here is there is no super bad guy (s) that can kill Wick yet really good past players fought just as good or better than Wick. Then, I noticed even Wick gets out of breath in this movie but not in the other three. Machine guns are not lethal, handguns do not kill unless clip emptied & knives near useless including the num-chuks too. I mean Bruce Lee hits you with a num-chuk and you go down and stay down. Here, they get up. I only watched half the movie as it became repetitive and could not keep my interest. Couldn't a sniper kill better? How about a grenade?
