John Wick Chapter 3: Parabellum (2019)
starring Keanu Reeves, Halle Berry, Ian McShane and Laurence Fishburne

This movie follows on seamlessly from the last one, as if it’s one double length movie — similar to The Matrix 2 & 3 in this regard.

This movie gets off to a much quicker start than he previous two, although John Wick, played by Keanu Reeves, seems to have found himself in quite a dilemma from the outset, and the violence is rather longwinded, hollow & chaotic. A bit of plot wouldn’t go a miss here.

40 minutes in, while Wick is seeking refuge, we meet a middle aged Halle Berry.

Interesting plot twist 90 minutes in as Wick & Winston go up against the High Table from their deconsecrated hotel. It’s at this point that the movie looks set to earn a higher rating than those before it, but 90 minutes is already the length of a short movie, so surely it’s too little too late and this movie deserves a rating equal to the previous two: Below Average. In the end, Below Average it is, since even after the interesting plot twist, there’s so little to this movie but mindless longwinded violence.
