A bravura summation of everything John Wick has worked to accomplish over the past decade as Keanu Reeves cements the role, outside of Neo, that he will be remembered for.
Chad Stahelski’s film ups the ante but also deepens the world-building and internal mythology, using it to hang some of the series’ finest set pieces on to date. Reeves is once again a tour de force but for the first time he gets an ensemble who come close to matching…
Really dry and visually sedate, Boston Strangler wants to be David Fincher’s Zodiac way too much for its own good.

The earth is doomed.
