John Wick Chapter 3: Parabellum – Film Review – John Wick: Chapter 3

John Wick: Chapter 3 – Parabellum brings back the main character to his roots while offering new twists where everything could go from here, all with brutal and brutally executed decors that fans have fallen on. Action expect from the franchise. They will not leave disappointed.

Moments after the end of John Wick: Chapter 2, Parabellum takes place in a few bloody and hopeless days as John faces the proverbial music that breaks the rules of the High Table. in the previous movie. His breathless journey to stay alive – and, hopefully, find a way to settle things with the high table – will lead him through dark alleyways, arcane buildings, exotic interludes overseas. and finally to … well, you'll see.

We learn much more about John's backstory, which reveals some interesting facets of his character, while seeing him face an extended hype. John Wick is a human piñata at this point, and Chapter 3 does well by seeing him beaten, beaten, stabbed, kicked, shot and shuffled. John Wick is perhaps the hardest guy of all time, not only because he can kill like no one else, but also because he can fight and continue to stand up until he wins. He looks like the Rocky Balboa of the vengeful hitmen.

Keanu Reeves again recognizes the screen as being the most likeable of the wicked men, offering another emotionally moderate show, even if he clearly shows it. And is it – and this movie – never delivered in the department of action! Chapter 3 offers a constant badault on action badistants, each as brilliant as the one who preceded it. There is nothing that John – or his opponents, from elsewhere – can use to kill anyone here: bare hands, guns, swords, books, belts, knives, animals, gravity. There are a million ways to die in this film, all performed in the most visceral way, "did they really do it?", A fashion to which fans expect it. Each action game relies on the ridiculous brutality of the previous one, but there is a particular sequence in Casablanca that some players can be particularly seduced by its elaborate staging and immersiveness.

[19659002] In addition to this senseless action, fans of the John Wick franchise also appreciate its very cool and detailed tradition, and Chapter 3 will not disappoint either. The mysterious rules, methodical procedures and old-school technologies – as well as bbad commercial terms such as "Adjudicator", are meant to sound dark and cold – push the franchise even further into the mythological hyper-reality. . Anachronisms do not really exist in the world of John Wick, where armaments are often at the forefront of technology but where pneumatic tube bureaucracy, old coins and physical media still have a vital function.

That said, John Wick: Chapter 3 gets lost sometimes in the weeds because he is so intrigued by his own construction of the world and the myth that he finally questions his own argument when decisions majors are canceled or entire sections become useless. Some scenes later.

Beyond the main character, John Wick: Chapter 3 also brings back fans' favors like the mordant Winston (the always crazed Ian McShane), the fierce but pragmatic Bowery. King (Laurence Fishburme), and the faithful and resolute concierge of Continental, Charon (Lance Reddick, who is more mean than ever here), also introduce several new characters who each have an impact in their own way. 19659002] The most n Among the new characters on offer are Sofia, by John Halle Berry. John Berry, the former hero of John, delivers a turn that pleases the crowds, marked by a brutal efficiency in his scenes of action and a reluctance weary in his serious exchanges with Reeves. That said, this film is certainly not a friend, because Berry is not there as much as one might hope.

Meanwhile, Anjelica Huston embraces with joy the fundamentally operatic, even campy nature of the Russian operator who knows John Wick much better than most (that does not mean that she loves him more than staying alive). Jerome Flynn (aka Game of Thrones & # 39; Bronn) plays a small but essential role, just like Said Taghmaou of Wonder Woman, enigmatic source. John is looking for help, but the biggest stage thief is Marc Dacascos in the role of Zero, the main killer of Chapter 3. John Wick has become such a legend that he has fans including Zero, which gives the scenes of Dacascos refreshing moments of lightness in the midst of all this carnage.

All these newcomers stand out. Departments like John Wick: Chapter 3 – Parabellum aims to shed new light on the man that John Wick occupies while the movie set new dilemmas to explore for the franchise.
