Review: Action-packed 'John Wick: Chapter 3' stuffed with series staples
Audiences loved it, with โJohn Wickโ earning $130 million worldwide. John Wick: Chapter 3 -- Parabellum Rated: R Run time: 2 hours, 10 minutes โ โ โ ยฝ out of 5The second film did even better -- $180 million -- which naturally led to a third installment: โJohn Wick: Chapter 3: Parabellum.โ (Parabellum comes from a longer Latin quote that loosely translated states, โIf you want peace, prepare for war.") The story begins immediately after the end of the last movie, with Wick being pursued in New York by multiple assassins. Stahelski, back again for his third "John Wick" film, quickly follows that sequence with a second, equally-strong fight inside a New York stable, which includes the clever utilization of horses as weapons. With the door wide open for โJohn Wick 4,โ the filmmakers just need to remember to keep it fresh.
