John Wick: Chapter 4
Rent/Purchase
With the price on his head ever increasing, John Wick uncovers a path to defeating The High Table. But before he can earn his freedom, Wick must face off against a new enemy with powerful alliances across the globe and forces that turn old friends into foes.
What critics thought
Chapter 4 earns near-universal admiration for its stunt choreography, Dan Laustsen's neon-drenched cinematography, and a climax many critics found genuinely moving — but a significant minority felt that at nearly three hours the film buries its best moments under sheer excess, leaving spectacle without momentum. The central fault line is runtime: whether the film's ambition justifies its length, or whether a leaner cut was trapped inside a bloated one.
“Those who appreciated the original for its brutal, sinewy agility have another thing coming: a lumbering, stultifying gargantuan of a film willing to kill everything except its darlings.”
Charles Bramesco·The Guardian
“Somewhere inside the utterly unnecessary, bloated running time for John Wick IV, there's a brilliant, stripped-down, 100-minute classic of a drive-in action film, where the admittedly breathtaking action sequences don't grind on for so long that they become borderline tedious.”
Richard Roeper·Chicago Sun-Times
“Watching John Wick: Chapter 4 sometimes felt like watching an above-average assembly cut. At an unwieldy two hours and 49 minutes, your eye will immediately be drawn to what cuts through the noise – and there are plenty of these moments. But 'moments' does not a well-told 'movie' make.”
Liz Miller·Consequence
“bursting at the seams with creative, thrillingly staged action choreography and cinematography”
Tom Jorgensen·IGN
“John Wick: Chapter 4 isn't just the best installment in the series. It's on the very short list of greatest action movies ever made.”
