Screening Room: ‘John Wick: Chapter 4’

Back when he was just Ted Theodore Logan, who would have guessed that Keanu Reeves would eventually become the last true action star?

If that still seems strange to you, check out the epic epicness that is John Wick: Chapter 4, which opens March 24. My review is at PopMatters:

The air was charged at a recent screening of John Wick: Chapter 4. The thronged darkness buzzed with chatter and the occasional whoop.

They had seen Wick before and now wanted to see him do his thing again, but more so. We all did…

Here’s the trailer:
