hello everyone welcome to your non-spoiler review of John wick
chapter 3 Parabellum the official title right there
I am Perriy Nemiroff and I am happy to be joined by John Rocha our John Wick
enthusiast yes massive enthusiast I should have wore my black suit my gun
but I brought my dog but he's out there you know yeah it's fantastic you don't
mess with me no I'm sorry I'm sorry I love his dog though in the film that's
fantastic I agree so do you want to take it first based on know what you liked
the other two movies and yeah I do love the other two he's quite a bit but you
kind of take the number one John Woo that in the office title I would say
this is a great return to form from the first one like that's what the what's
great about number three is it brings us back to New York brings us back to who
John wick is and doesn't expand it too far out like we saw in the second one I
thought we lost the spirit of it in the second one and then the third one we
definitely come back to John wick against the world that's fantastic right
on the heels what happened at number at the end of two which is you know that
he's about to be excommunicate Oh which means everybody wants a piece of John
wick so then collect that bounty and it's just action galore from beginning
to end with barely a moment to breathe which I thought was incredible I mean
that's the thing that basically made this John wick movie no I mean it might
be my favorite of the three and make a case granted this one has
like a major advantage over the first one because I can't watch the first act
of the movie I just have to jump in after the puppy dies but the action in
this is not use the f-word I'm just gonna say effing phenomenal we're
constantly having this debate when it comes to the Academy Awards and adding
new category stunt categories this is the movie that deserves that category
just the orchestration and the blocking in the way they shoot it in the way they
light it and how many people are involved in so many of these sequences
it really is mind-boggling to me that they could pull some of this stuff off
and then come award season next year not get recognized for their work Keanu
Reeves is made for this role it is made for it I want to highlight
many specific set pieces right now so badly and tell you about all of my
favorites I will say my absolute favorite and the movie comes very very
early in the movie and it might be one of the simpler ones of the bunch but it
really is incredible how the action is close to non-stop and every single set
piece has something that makes it stand out and feel different yeah and also
we've got to give you a lot of credit suggests to hell ski who directed this
one after coming on the heels of - which like I said didn't quite get there for
me a hundred percent he does incredible job with the visuals it's an action war
film you know because the rain never lets up the bright lights never let up
the darkness never lets up and you get involved in all the story and it goes
all the way out and then comes right back to event we get the return of some
familial cares and characters and Halle Berry joins in the fray
she's great her kind of those dogs that I think that her one of like her bigger
moments in the movie might be one of the most impressive as far as it goes you
know with with setting everything up and the way the camera is moving in the way
everything's gone stopped and how I mean wow those dog trainers who whoever the
animal handlers are on John wick I applaud you right now because the dogs
in this movie are something else I'm curious to know what you thought about
the story though because there were a couple of things specifically character
motivations especially when it came to the adjudicator yeah where I was maybe
questioning the logic between how the adjudicator and the high table operates
in order to achieve their goals yeah I did feel that was a little bit flimsy
but I just serve the purpose of having John what feel like he's against every
everyone's against him rather than having him to fight through
insurmountable odds to get to where he's going but what I like about it is how it
progresses to this ending that leaves us in a certain place and I'm not gonna
ruin anything but it leaves us in a certain place and we'll see where we go
from here but certainly John wick is John wick 3 rather is a great addition
to this franchise and one that should make you want to come back again it was
more just you know plot points like certain beats that I'm like oh do I
really believe that or not right I wish I had looked up all the names that I
wanted a shout out right now and of course I did not but this thing has an
credible us oh okay here's the person that I wanted to give some credit to
Mark Dacascos Mark Dacascos is fantastic oh you ever seen him on Iron Chef wow
yeah this guy's guy who hosts an Iron Chef show get hair back then together
right now but he's incredible he is he is incredible in the movie of just from
an action standpoint and also I love the way that they work some comedic beats in
this because this is a very heavy movie it this is I could not believe how
violent this movie was and it's not like I hadn't learned anything from the first
of the second movie but I think they kind of kick it up a notch here and I
just thought it was brilliant how they worked in all that heavy violence that
constant running that constant fear of a threat lurking around the corner or in
the darkness and then they would have a comedic beat and it would just hit at
the perfect time yeah and people coming back to be part of John's world you love
seeing this again the reunion of friends and what they're going to do as well
that's a fun time in the movie as well and what you say about the story and all
the actors I want to give a shout out to Randall Kim it's great to see him again
I apparently Candice trying to work everybody in from the matrix back into
this franchise because we've got Laurence Fishburne now the key-maker
Randall camp will see and Angelica Houston is great in her role as well a
lot of fun to see her in that film quite like Laurence Fishburne in the movie and
also Lance Reddick of course the world needs more Lance Reddick especially in
this role I'm also a really big fan of just the inner workings of the
Continental and I mean I guess what the high the high table has you know going
on in the world too and I appreciated the behind the scenes look we got it
kept cutting back to a certain a certain set and I almost wouldn't mind just kind
of living in that set a little while is every single time they cut back to that
I found myself wanting to pick up every detail in the room possible well that's
what you want you want the film to leave you asking questions and intrigue to see
more and it certainly does that yeah I mean I would probably take an entire TV
show just come down yeah all right it's time yeah you know what time it is right
it's score time out of 10 what are you giving John wick I gave it an eight and
a half okay yeah I'm coming in right behind you I'm giving it an eight
again I really can't say enough about the stunt working on this movie please
pay attention to its sing its praises keep banging that drum for an Academy
Award category for stunt work because this is a movie that would deserve it
hmm there are certain logic issues in the story sure sure making me think
twice about certain decisions and motivations and the goals they were
trying to achieve but I'm very impressed I want to see this series continue to
thrive so badly yeah Manchester House key should be in conversation for
superhero films down the road that if they're darker more harder-edged
superhero films they should be looking at this guy because the incredible
director of action alright guys so that is our review of John wick 3 are you
