Story: In this third installment of the adrenaline-fueled action franchise, skilled assassin John Wick (Keanu Reeves) returns with a $14 million price tag on his head and an army of bounty-hunting killers on his trail. After killing a member of the shadowy international assassin's guild, the High Table, John Wick is excommunicado, but the world's most ruthless hit men and women await his every turn.
Likes: Normally when a film franchise hit its 3rd film it starts to slow the pace down and isnt as good as the first two films, but damn this John wick franchise is still going strong with a straight three films as solid as each other.
Damn, I want Halle Berry Dogs in this film, they almost steal the limit light from Keanu Reeves playing John wick in this movie, they are totally badass dogs with vicious intent. I'm not kidding around here this Entire film will have you jaw flop to the floor with it brutal fight scene and amazing choreographed gunfights. You can see that Halle had the same gun training as Keanu which made her almost as badass has john wick in the film.
We get a more in-depth look on who is actually running the whole assassin business, its route goes deeper than you think, everyone obeys the house or they get excommunicado which basically means you break the rules, you're life is forfeited to a contract on your head. This film follows John wick 2 perfectly where he on the run with every major assassin on he tail, the film becomes this action pack fast pace rollercoaster of death and destruction from start to finish.
This is how you make a third film work, up the ante, give the audience fast pace action that will entertain them, OMG the brutality this time of the fight scene was done brilliantly using the Environment around him really add to the bloodthirsty fights.
Throughout the whole three films, I can now understand why they call John Wick the Baba Yaga, its a fitting name to a legend among assassin, you can understand which is shown in the trailer when Winston playing brilliant and had a funny moment told Charon played by Lance Reddick, "$14 million prices on his head and every assassin around the world gunning for him, the odds are about even".
This Dialogue alone shows why John wick is feared among all assassins, through three movies his character has shown just how skilled he truly is If you love the first to movies you're gonna love this third film. I highly recommend it
Dislikes: I did notice with one stunt fight scene the stunt actor seem to wait for a cue to be hit, that felt a little off which didn't take me out the film but I noticed it, it didn't feel like a natural moment
Overall: Great fast pace action, Great acting, funny moments but overall serious tone.
Rating: 5 out of 5 for Entertainment / 9.4 out of 10 for the third film.

Parents advised reading before viewing the film as some scene may contain scenes unsuitable for younger viewers.
Sex & Nudity:
- Mild sexuality and nudity can be expected. Considering the slight nudity in the second installment, the possibility is likely.
Violence & Gore:
- The John Wick films are known to be extremely violent and graphics, so this will definitely be the same.
- Literally non-stop bloody action throughout. Expect tons of headshots.
- Considering that the two previous installments have an abundance of blood and gore, it can be expected that the third installment will push the limit even further.
Profanity:
- The previous films only use D*mn, F*ck, and Sh*t very rarely. So the third film will most likely be the same.
Alcohol/Drugs/Smoking:
- May contain some visible drug use.
Frightening/Intense Scenes:
- Constant intense and bloody action-violence is certain.
- Prolonged intense fighting and shooting sequences are expected. John Wick's life is in constant danger, so tense scenarios are expected.
