First time watching a John Wick film over a decade after the franchise started making waves, and it lives up to the hype. Great action, stellar filmmaking, and a mediocre script by what has to be one of the luckiest screenwriters in Hollywood to ride these coattails. I'd really love a sharper or more novel story, maybe something Statham-ish like The Bank Job or the Crank movies, but truly, the visual language & tone of this benefits from the space to explore, even if it felt longer for it.
