John Wick 3 (5 Stars)


My readers should know me by now. After watching the first two John Wick films last month, it was obvious that I'd soon rewatch "John Wick 3". It's a beautiful film which leads us even deeper into the mythology of the John Wick universe. Maybe I should invent a name for it. The Wickiverse? In the second film we met the High Table, or at least some of its members. Now we see that there's a man who's above the High Table. He's a mysterious man who lives in a tent in the desert of Morocco. How more surreal could the Wickiverse possibly get?


Most of the scenes in "John Wick 3" take place in the dark and are underlit. That's my only slight criticism of the film. The scenes in the desert are beautifully bright.

Dogs have always played an important part in the John Wick films. In the first film there was a beagle called Daisy who was fridged early in the film. In the second film there's a pitbull called Dog, who also returns as a non-barking extra in the third film. In the third film Sofia, played by Halle Berry, has two Belgian Shepherd dogs as her fighting companions.

The fourth film was due to be released this year, but the filming has been delayed until next year because of the Coronavirus. That's sad. I'm anxious to see how John Wick's story continues.

Success Rate:  + 2.4
