When It Comes to Action, “John Wick: Chapter 3 – Parabellum” Kills It
|
|
|
Some may prefer the Jason Bourne and Taken movie franchises, but for pure, unadulterated action, there are none better these days than John Wick. The series has yielded three films so far, with the latest being John Wick: Chapter 3 – Parabellum. They’ve all been rollicking entertainments, incredibly well-made, and easy to follow. That’s especially important in the action genre where the ability for a viewer to visually grasp what’s going on is essential.
