Who doesn’t love a movie about revenge? What Liam Neeson did in “Taken” was clearly an influence, in fact it’s turning into the most influential action movie of the last 15 or so years. The second “John Wick” was actually a better movie than the original and didn’t run into the same problems the “Taken” sequels had. Repetitiveness wasn’t an issue, this was bolder filmmaking. Everything in “John Wick 2” was amped-up to the nth degree in more ambitious ways.
The two most important qualities an action movie must have at its disposal, safe for a great, visually gifted director which these films did have, are a) a protagonist you care about and b) an antagonist you despise. The “John Wick” films had both.
And, et voila. Here we are, “John Wick: Chapter 3” is set for release this coming summer and the trailer has just been released. Joining Reeves for the fiesta will be returning cast members Ruby Rose, Ian McShane, and Laurence Fishburne, with Halle Berry joining in on the fun as well playing Sofia, an assassin and friend of John Wick’s.
