Title image showing subtly melancholy black-and-white close-up of an Asian woman with her eyes closed, her short, glossy dark hair obscuring half of her face. The photograph is superimposed over a grayed-out LGBT pride flag, and blow the portrait in red letters is an inscription reading, "Sincerely, The Card You Jokers Like to Play."

Close-up shot of Keanu Reeves in first John Wick film, dressed in his trademark black clothing. The lighting taking on a hue of blue, gray, and green. A laceration arcs downwards across his nose and left cheek, his hair slightly ruffled. Locks of it shield his left eye, but his right is clearly visible.

In-Depth Review of John Wick: Chapter 3—Parabellum

Without a doubt, John Wick: Chapter 3—Parabellum pushed the franchise further than ever. This exposed the most notable flaws and potential weaknesses I’ve seen from the John Wick movies to date, but it also meant that the filmmakers doubled down on the best aspects of the series with regards to action, storytelling, characters, and emotional impact.

John Wick: A Comparison of the First Two Films, and Why I Predict Parabellum Will Be the Best One Yet

But I think this franchise absolutely has the ingredients it needs to pull this off.
