In one early fight Wick and his enemies just happen to stumble into some kind of museum full of weapons behind glass, lots of glass.
Granted most of the fights are still well done but with this being the third movie things are getting a tad repetitive.and daft. Where are the police? Do the High Table control the cops? There don't appear to be any normal people in the city, no police, no emergency services etc.Fights break out, people are killed, blood gushes everywhere, no one bats an eye.
The movie moves from one set piece to the next without any real sense of reality anymore, it's like a showreel. If not on foot then roaming motorbike gangs. We're now in a situation where Wick literally cannot turn a corner without some random gang of thugs trying to kill him. The first thing that bugs me is how insane this world has become since the first movie. Now this third movie goes above and beyond into the realms of nonsense as far as I'm concerned. The second movie expanded a few ideas which was nice but it got slightly ridiculous and became CGI heavy. OK so the first movie was a solid gritty revenge flick. What follows is essentially a long drawn-out chase flick as Wick must escape America to find the Elder (the highest rank in this world of assassins) and get his hit status revoked. He has merely one hour before being labelled excommunicado and therefore open season to every bounty hunter in the world, literally. And once again its simply more of the same only ratcheted up to another level and with the plot getting even more convoluted.Ĭontinuing from where the sequel left off sees Wick basically in deep doo doo for the unauthorised killing of a High Table crime lord and for doing it within the Continental Hotel. Now we have the third (but not final) entry. Again nothing particularly original but it actually got more confusing. The second merely gave us more of the same with a slightly beefed-up plot. The first movie wasn't anything particularly original but it was a master class in fight choreography and stunts. Wash, rinse, and repeat.for a third time.
