From Friday 24 March 2023

John Wick: Chapter 4 (15)
Yeah...we're thinking he's back. John Wick Chapter 4. Keanu Reeves' unkillable, dog-avenging, former hitman returns, in the fight for his life in the explosive fourth outing in what many are now calling the greatest action film franchise ever. As the price on his head ever expands, a way out is in sight but defeating the High Table will require a deadlier path than ever. Critics have raved that this film is one of the greatest action movies ever made and "constantly devises ways to outdo itself”. It seems like the legacy of Mr. Wick shows no signs of diminishing. Co- starring Bill Skarsgard, Ian McShane, Donnie Yen, Lawrence Fishburne and the late great Lance Reddick in one of his final roles.
