If you already have the first two John Wick movies on your shelf, you'll definitely want to grab this, and I'm almost kind of bummed-and this is a *huge spoiler* if you're not caught up-that Parabellum ends on a cliffhanger, because I was already salivating at the thought of a trilogy box set. Here, that otherworldly look is thanks in large part to cinematographer Dan Laustsen, a frequent collaborator with Guillermo del Toro on films like Shape of Waterand Crimson Peak. The movie, if you couldn't tell, whips an unholy amount of ass, and looks gorgeous on Blu-ray and 4K in addition to being one of the most high-intensity action franchises in recent memory, the John Wick movies are also some of the most uniquely framed and dazzlingly lit. The third entry in the series is, essentially, a one-versus-all action flick, with John using every object at his disposal to escape the High Table-and an army of ninjas, led up by Mark Dacascos' Zero-and clear his name: a hallway full of knives, an actual horse, a library book, some highly-trained attack dogs courtesy of former colleague Sofia (Berry). Despite a rather dissappoting lack of deleted scenes or director's commentary of any sort, the presentation is chock-full of featurettes that go surprisingly in-depth on how the hell director Chad Stahelski, Keanu Reeves, Halle Berry, and an army of stunt performers (plus a few Good Dogs) got this crazy thing done.īefore we dive into the extras, here's a quick rundown on the movie: Parabellum picks up immediately after the events of John Wick: Chapter 2, with Reeves' title super-assassin being deemed "Excommunicado" from his global clan of killers and a bounty being placed on his shaggy head. If you somehow weren't swept up in the Year of Keanu already, you simply will not have any other choice but to stan after getting your hands on a Blu-ray of John Wick: Chapter 3: Parabellum.
