John Wick 3 (5 Stars)

In my opinion, "John Wick 3" is the best film in the series so far. The second film ended on a cliff-hanger. John was excommunicated for killing Santino D'Antonio in the Continental. "No business may be conducted on Continental grounds". That's one of the main rules in the shadowy parallel world of John Wick.

Rather than accepting his fate, John seeks an audience with the man who is above the High Table. He lives in the desert somewhere in Morocco. Couldn't a man with such wealth find a more comfortable place to live? John will be allowed back if he completes a task: he has to kill Winston, the manager of the Continental Hotel in New York. This is where John draws a line. He refuses to kill a friend.

The Continental has a few floors made of glass. At first I thought it was the same place as the museum in "John Wick 2". They certainly look similar. It's possible that the same film set was used after moving a few things around to make it look different. The set must have cost a lot of money, so it would have been a waste to throw it away after one film.

The glass room is the scene of the final battle against the warrior played by Mark Dacascos. In the film credits he's called Zero, but I didn't notice him being named in the film itself. He's an incredible fighter, with his bare hands and his swords. He's appeared in 60 films and 25 television series. Usually an abundance of television roles is a sign that a person's career is faltering. I'm not saying that television actors are less talented. But it's a fact that television series pay less money for more work.

Now I've rewatched the first three films, I can turn my attention to "John Wick 4". Soon.
