Excommunicado! Not me reuniting chibi John Wick with his emotional support doggo! The assassin/ultimate pet parent is back for another video game platform hell mission in the fourth installment of the John Wick action movie franchise.
From witnessing the revengeance against the animal haters in the first film to his endless run fighting off mooks on a ridiculously long flight of stars, the guy has been through a lot. I’m just rooting for him to get therapy and finally rest.
I’m looking forward to rewatching the movie and have been drawn into the world-building of the assassin network in the John Wick franchise. I would be down to work at the Osaka Continental for starters. Since I’m a kawaii hobbyist and dress in cutesy clothes, I guess there may be a stark contrast with my other interests such as horror and over-the-top action films. Hopefully, online connectivity provides a platform to showcase a more multifaceted identity. (Although, at some point since I kept talking about horror, some contacts may have forgotten that I live for cartoons!)
Anyway, you can catch John Wick 4 on lionsgateplay.com

“What makes a movie the Greatest Action Movie Ever? Is it jaw-dropping fight choreography? Precision-timed stunts? Or a hero so iconic that their very name sends shivers down your spine? With John Wick: Chapter 4, the answer is clear: it’s all of the above.
Keanu Reeves’ return as the relentless assassin, solidifying John Wick as a true action phenomenon. Praised as “a love letter to action cinema” (Empire) and “pure, over-the-top action spectacle” (The Hollywood Reporter), John Wick 4 elevates everything fans loved about its predecessors and levels up in every way imaginable. And now, you can experience this cinematic masterpiece of mayhem in all its glory, exclusively on Lionsgate Play.
4 Reasons why Chapter 4 is the G.A.M.E.
The fourth installment of the John Wick saga isn’t just another sequel – It’s a symphony of cinematic carnage. With its signature blend of inventive set pieces, revenge-thriller vibes and of course, the charming Reeves, John Wick Chapter 4 is hailed as the crowning jewel of the franchise. With a staggering 94% score on Rotten Tomatoes, it’s officially the highest-rated installment. Here’s why it is the ‘Greatest Action Movie Ever’.
1. Action that redefines the genre
Every fight sequence is meticulously choreographed – so fluid and precise, it’s like watching a deadly ballet. Director Chad Stahelski, himself a stuntman, frames every movement with an elegance reminiscent of Fred Astaire—if Fred Astaire wielded nunchucks.
2. World-building on steroids
From the neon-clad streets of Osaka to the romantic devastation of Paris, John Wick Chapter 4 expands its universe like never before. The High Table’s shadowy empire grows pulling you deeper into its labyrinth of conspiracies.
3. Keanu Reeves – An unstoppable hero with a zen edge
Critics praise Reeves saying “barrels through the picture with equal parts rampaging force and Zen-like cool” (Los Angeles Times). Reeves is the hero we all want to be: calm, precise, and unbreakable.
4. The late Lance Reddick’s final bow
The late Lance Reddick’s final performance as Charon, the ever-loyal concierge, adds a poignant weight to Chapter 4. His presence is a reminder that, beneath all the gunfire and mayhem, John Wick is ultimately a story about loyalty, honor, and humanity.
A franchise that changed action movies forever
When John Wick hit theaters in 2014, no one could have predicted the impact it would have on American action cinema. What began as a lean revenge story about a man and his dog has evolved into an epic saga blending high-octane stunts with a mythical narrative. Rolling Stone aptly calls it “the most reliable film franchise this side of Mission: Impossible.”
The fourth chapter doesn’t just continue the story, but raises the stakes while bringing out the big guns—literally and figuratively. While Reeves and the late Reddick anchor the film, Donnie Yen, Bill Skarsgård, and Laurence Fishburne add to the film’s firepower. Yen stuns as the formidable Caine, blending deadly precision with sly humor. Skarsgård’s Marquis oozes cold menace, and Fishburne’s Bowery King brings grit and rebellion with his commanding presence.
The cast’s performance, along with the visual flair and over-the-top action, has resulted in an installment that has been described by critics as “more stylish, more elegant and more bonkers” (Associated Press) than its predecessors. Bottom line: it’s a feat of cinematic excess that will leave you breathless.
Dive into the chaos, elegance, and pure adrenaline of John Wick: Chapter 4 on Lionsgate Play this March 14.”
