“John Wick: Chapter 3 - Parabellum lives up the standard of its predecessors. Picking up where the previous film left off, it tells the story of how the titular assassin (Keanu Reeves) flees from those who wish to kill him because he is a marked man. Along the way he encounters his fellow assassin Sofia (Halle Berry), an underground crime lord known as the Bowery King (Laurence Fishburne), hotel owner and close friend Winston (Ian McShane) and a mysterious protective figure known as the Director (Anjelica Huston). There is also, of course, an adorable dog.
“The first John Wick movie didn't have much in the way of a backstory because it didn't need to. In Chapter 3, however, we hear about mysterious groups like The High Table and characters with names The Adjudicator, The Director, The Bowery King and Tick Tock Man.
“Reeves exudes benignity, even when playing a brutal killer, and it's as believable that a man like him would cuddle with a cute puppy as it is that he would murder other people for hire or out of vengeance. This is not something that can be said of every actor.” - Salon
