The #JohnWick4 trailer is absolutely brilliant, great song choice, just enough action to get you pumped, new mysterious characters & probably most surprisingly the cinematography is the highlight of the trailer. pic.twitter.com/RG5FA7lDmB

— Matt🎬 (@mattlikesfilm) November 10, 2022The John Wick franchise has arguably revitalized not only Keanu Reeves’ career, but action movies in general. Part of that is because stunt professional-turned-filmmaker Chad Stahelski has taken the helm behind the camera in the series, including directing John Wick 4. Gone are the Bourne Identity clones in cinemas utilizing claustrophobic shakey-cams and quick-edits, but rather, every action movie today seems to be trying to emulate the more smoothly presented, intricately choreographed, action scenes of the John Wick franchise.
John Wick 4 comes to theaters on March 24, 2023.
