"John Wick 4" may test your patience with its excessive length, but it's undeniably the most engaging entry in the series to date. The few narrative sequences are well spread out throughout the runtime, and for the first time we have a charismatic cast to support Reeves’ wooden performance. The deliberate choice of drawn-out and repetitive action sequences lends a unique stylistic flavor, and while I concur that some side journeys could have been easily trimmed out, there's a heightened sense of variety and a more refined direction compared to its predecessors.
Regrettably, the film's primary flaw is its reliance on recycled tricks and plot dynamics from previous chapters, leaving "John Wick 4" feeling like a polished greatest hits compilation of its predecessors.
