John Wick: Chapter 3 – Parabellum is a 2019 American neo-noir action film starring Keanu Reeves as the titular character in the third installment in the John Wick film series, following John Wick (2014) and John Wick: Chapter 2 (2017). The film is directed by Chad Stahelski and written by Derek Kolstad, Shay Hatten, Chris Collins, and Marc Abrams, based on a story by Kolstad. The first film was always intended to begin a series, and a third installment was announced in June 2017. Much of the returning cast and crew was confirmed in February 2018, with new members joining that May. Filming began that month and lasted through November, taking place in New York City, Montreal, and Morocco.  John Wick: Chapter 3 was theatrically released in the United States on May 17, 2019, by Summit Entertainment. It received positive reviews from critics, with praise for the fight choreography, visual style, and Reeves' performance.

If you are a fan of the John Wick series of films you already think you know what you’re in for. However John Wick is excommunicado so be prepared for 2 hours of epicness!. This 3rd release is one continuing ride of top tier action sequences. The choreography is epic and creative. The movie is absolutely brutal. The pleasant surprise is that the movie is filled with genuine hilarious comedic moments.

For me it was one of the greatest viewing experiences of a film I have had in quite a while (and I watch a hell of a LOT of action movies). Amazing set designs and action sequences that are perfectly choreographed and three canine actors that are absolute badass, with by the way Halle Berry who definitely was a BADASS in the movie. This is one of the, if not, most ambitious films with a flawless execution. A visual masterpiece that pays homage to Chad Stahelski - director - is a force to be reckoned with.

If your a John Wick fan see this in IMAX and don’t miss it. If you haven’t see the first 2 make sure you watch them before you see this one because you need to know the story from the beginning to appreciate this 3rd edition.
