Film ● Mini-Review: John Wick: Chapter 3 – Parabellum
Not a bad action film but it is more of the same.

The production itself isn’t bad, maybe tries a little too hard. Either way, the action scenes are not dazzling.

Tries to be a gritty vigilante-revenge film but execution is lacking. The action and logistics just feel awkward.

Instead of thugs, McCall is going up against skilled operatives like himself. Lacks the energy and emotional satisfaction of the first film.

In some ways the Korean version of La Femme Nikita. Nicely shot revenge flick but perhaps predictable.

Essentially the same as the first film but in a bigger setting. A solid follow-up which is rare considering that sequels are usually weaker.

Some nice set pieces initially, and nicely shot with decent sound editing too. Not bad but lacks wow factor and not particularly memorable.
