Well, now that we have access to HBO MAx, it's time for us to see John Wick. Still, LCF (and everyone else) wants me to see John Wick 2 first. So I did, only to realize partway through I'd seen it years ago. Still, I watched it through again, which served as a good reminder of where things stand.
Then we watched 3 last night.
Keanu doesn't strike me as the most physically gifted actor. But he seems to go above and beyond himself for this kind of mayhem. A bit repetitious with all the throws and multiple-attack shootouts. But it's all so clean. So well-shot! And what do we get? A sharp and mysterious dip in the population of NYC. Then a sharp and mysterious dip in the population of Casablanca. Then another dip in NYC's population. Then LCF had me put it on pause, because surely we were very close to the end. What? 41 minutes to go? So we both took bathroom breaks, then on with the mayhem.
At the end, all I can say is, if John Wick isn't careful, he's gonna get himself in real trouble.
Now ready for 4.
