John Wick 4 is an gun fight slaughterfest. The endless, dull scenes are made even more punishing as your eardrums are pummeled with the awful techno-rock score. While there's a few inspired scenes, I felt exhausted by the end, inclined to cover my ears and pray for mercy. Oops, there was none. Surely someone out there has totaled the number of kills John makes in each film. The finale didn't pay off as the big baddie had nothing to do with how the whole story started. While the John Wick series started off as a fun exploitation, revenge flick, ut became more bogged down as pure gun porn. A big budget and big star, but not creatively impressive. What's there for John Wick? Not much. He never got a new dog, or found love for his empty life.
Our buddy Scott gets a fun cameo as a gold-toothed baddy. Scott momentarily chews the scenery as a tough, gambling gangster. He kicks surprisingly well considering the character's size! Cheers for Scott getting into an A-list Hollywood blockbuster. Cash that paycheck Scott, and go back to your own starring roles!
