David McK (3550 KP) rated John Wick: Chapter 3 - Parabellum (2019) in Movies
Sep 5, 2019 (Updated Mar 27, 2023)
And that is pretty much what this film is about, picking up almost directly after Chapter 2 and with Keanu's super assassin John Wick now with a 14 million USD price on his head after killing a man on company (sacred) ground - i.e. The Continental Hotel - in the previous instalment.
I'm still a little hazy on the society itself - just how much are those hitman tokens worth? They constantly seem to change value! - and on why the world and its neighbour seems to be some sort of assassin, leading me almost to wonder are we in some sort of Matrix reality (not helped by Keanu even saying he needs 'Guns. Lots of guns'), but - putting that aside - this is still quite an enjoyable, albeit very violent, action movie.

This is really just an excuse for stunts featuring the Stathamator, with a simple enough plot and with Jessica Alba and Michelle Yeoh thrown in for no apparent reason at all, while Tommy Lee Jones must simply have been looking for a paycheque!
