    John Wick 4. Seemed like 2 uninterrupted hours of people shooting one-another in the face. I only made it 30 minutes.

      It was probably a bit minimal in the story department, but I thought the cinematography was outstanding, especially in the last hour or so. That one-shot sequence in the building was probably one of my favourite sections in any movie I’ve seen recently.

      I had another experience. The power of the first John wick movie was the very simple story of a man listing his dog and his car, to an orgasmic vengeance bullet bukkake.

      Four is the other way around. The story is so complicated and, too be honest, weak, that all the fantastic fight choreography in the world can’t offset it. It gets boring as you’re not even remotely emotionally engaged.

      I will treat the wick saga like I did with the matrix. There is only one, shame they didn’t shoot a sequel.
