Every great hero needs great villains, so Director Chad Stahelski stacked the deck with the world’s leading action stars when it came time to check back in to action cinema’s Continental. John Wick (Keanu Reeves) demands opponents that can match the badassery of his franchise; and real life martial artists that can act. No other director today has such a keen eye for stunts and fight choreography as Stahelski. Assembling a cast of the heaviest hitters in Hollywood is the only way John Wick: Chapter 4 could level up. For any fan of the action genre, the names of Donnie Yen, Scott Adkins, Hiroyuki Sanada, and Marko Zaror instill massive respect. They all have extensive filmographies packed with thrilling action.
The John Wick tetralogy is also Stahelski’s first directorial effort and it’s designed for action. Creating roles that spotlights the superhuman talents of his cast was a collaborative effort,...

The John Wick franchise is easily one of my favorites. And now the Keanu Reeves action series is back in a big way with the operatic John Wick: Chapter 4 (check out our review). The film excels at everything that mades these films work. It’s a thrill watching Reeves and company play in this wild world. This time around, the actor is joined by a few legendary action stars including Hiroyuki Sanada, Donnie Yen, and Scott Adkins. This is an amazing team. The cast also includes regulars Laurence Fishburne, Ian McShane, and of course, the wonderful Lance Riddick – blessings to his family and friends. And finally, man is it great to see Bill Skarsgard, Shamier Anderson, and the lovely Rina Sawayama involved in the insanity.
