They killed his dog. Four films later, from Arabian sands to the iconic streets of Paris, the bodies left in John Wick's (Keanu Reeves) vengeful wake pile high. This "gun fu" epic is giddy with excess—gorgeous to look at, exhilarating to watch, violent to absurdity—as each bloody set piece raises the stakes and escalates the balletic stunt work on display. Legendary martial artists Donnie Yen, Hiroyuki Sanada and Scott Adkins join Reeves for another inspired installment to the best R-rated franchise in action cinema today.
