John Wick: Chapter 4 is out in the world. The film brings back Keanu Reeves' titular hitman as he simultaneously flees from and takes on the High Table, the organisation that rules over the global underworld we were introduced in the first movie. Along the way, he acquires allies and enemies or make enemies of old allies. He also faces the new Big Bad in the form of Bill Skarsgård's Marquis Vincent de Gramont. Donnie Yen, Bill Skarsgård, Laurence Fishburne, Hiroyuki Sanada, Shamier Anderson, Lance Reddick (in one of his final roles), Rina Sawayama, Scott Adkins, and Ian McShane also star.

SPOILER ALERT

In the film, Yen as a blind assassin and old friend called Caine to John who is brought back into the game to kill the Baba Yaga. He confronts John in Osaka Continental, whose manager is legendary Japanese actor Sanada's Shimazu Koji. The concierge of the hotel is his daughter Akira (Rina Sawayama). Wick takes shelter in the hotel and Shimazu hosts him happily. though he does wonders what is the endgame of this all for John. Her father's hospitability towards John angers Akira, who believes (rightly so) that his very presence at the Continental can endanger the life of everyone in the hotel.

And this is exactly what happens. de Gramont sends assassins to the Continental, and a battle ensues between the assassins led by Caine on one side, and John, Akira, Shimazu and his men on the other side. It ends when Anderson's street-smart Tracker (also called Nobody) intervenes in the fight between John and Caine. Meanwhile Shimazu and Caine engage in a duel when the former decides to stand in the latter's way. Shimazu is shot and Caine defeats him. Akira was also shot and vows revenge against John.&nbsp;

<h2>What happens at the end of John Wick 4?</h2>

At the end of the film, John decides to request a one-on-one duel with de Gramont once an for all. But he can only do that if he is part of a crime family. He becomes the part of the Ruska Roma syndicate after doing a favour for Natalia Tena's Katiya (killing the head of German Table). He fights his way to Sacré-Cœur, the location of the duel, helped along by Caine, who is also de Gramont's second, and the Tracker.

It's a pistol duel and both John and Caine shoot each other. As John is gravely wounded, de Gramont demands to shoot him personally, but turns out John is still to fire the gun in the round. He shoots and kills de Gramont, and then he too succumbs. He is buried next to his wife, his gravestone reading "Loving husband."

<h2>Post-credits scene</h2>

Meanwhile, in a post credits scene, Akira stalks Caine as he goes on to deliver flowers to his daughter. This clearly is a tease for a future project. Despite John Wick's death, we know the John Wick universe will continue to expand with a miniseries spinoff called The Continental. As the name suggests, it focusses on the hotel and its strange clientele. Then there's a big screen spinoff titled Ballerina, starring Ana de Armas as an assassin called Rooney. Akira's story might tie into Ballerina.

WION's review of the film read, "John Wick 4 is also a gorgeous-looking film, even beyond the fights and clever camera wizardry. From the neon lights of Osaka to the fiery reds and oranges of a Moroccan desert, John Wick 4 is a veritable symphony of hues. Many important moments suspiciously transpire during the golden hour. The stunning, elegiac imagery here is not something you expect in films like these. You would find yourself wanting to pause to take in all in. I know I did."

John Wick 4 ending and post-credits explained: How Keanu Reeves film teases the future

John Wick 4 movie review: John Wick is back, and he's taking names, kicking butts, and using endlessly creative methods to dispatch his impeccably dressed adversaries. The fourth instalment, directed again by Chad Stahelski picks up right where the third movie left off, with Keanu Reeves' laconic hitman on the run from the High Table, the quasi-religious cabal that lords over this underworld and the source of all woe for the titular hitman. Beaten and battered after the third movie's ending, John wants revenge from the High Table and has been recuperating under the care of Bowery King (Laurence Fishburne). But as fans of the franchise know, there's no rest for the wicked, and John has to go off on an all-out assault on the High Table.

This time around, the film serves up a fresh set of allies and foes, each with their own unique brand of cool. Leading the pack of bad guys is Bill Skarsgård's Marquis Vincent de Gramont, a member of the High Table and the perfect foil to John. While our beloved protagonist abides by the assassin code of honour that this underworld operates by, De Gramont is all about flouting the rules whenever it suits him. While John had to earn his place through sheer skill and ability, De Gramont only got in because of his celebrated heritage.

John is a man of few words. De Gramont on the other hand makes grand pronouncements like (I am paraphrasing, mind you) how those who believe in second chances have failed.

Shamier Anderson plays a bounty hunter calling himself Nobody with a cute and fierce canine emotional support animal companion with a penchant of chomping down men where it hurts the most: in the crotch. Nobody often helps John get out of scrapes but not out of any goodness of his heart.

There's the great Donnie Yen as a blind assassin and old friend to John called Caine who uses his honed hearing sense, walking stick, and gadgets to detect and destroy enemies with an almost sardonic ease. He is forced to go after John after Gramont threatens his daughter's life. He is torn between his loyalty to John and his obligation to the High Table, but you wouldn't know it by Yen's performance, serving up stoic badassery with a side of relish.

The legendary Hiroyuki Sanada plays Shimazu Koji, the manager of the Osaka Continental and an old friend of John who despite the protestations of his daughter (Akira, played by Rina Sawayama) harbours John, though confronting him with the question that has been on many a mind since forever: Is there an endgame here? Or is John doomed to inhabit this purgatory of ever-deadly goons trying to get a piece of him (and those millions of dollars; $40 million by last count) and he carving a path through them until he eventually succumbs? As Ian McShane's Winston in his infinite wisdom tells him, even the dreaded Baba Yaga cannot kill everyone and will run out of bullets before the High Table runs out of heads.

In many ways, John Wick 4 is the most ruminative this franchise has ever been, delving deeper into the world of assassins, the morality of their actions, and their motivations. Unlike some others in this trade, John Wick is not a cold-blooded killer, but a man driven by grief over his wife's death and seeking revenge for the murder of his dog. He's a man with nothing left to lose, and even he may struggle to articulate his motivations for even staying alive.

Of course, that doesn't mean John has gone soft. Quite the opposite, in fact. He shoots, smashes, slams, stabs, cuts, slashes, and nunchucks his way through countless hordes and hordes of goons sent by High Table's face in the film that is Marquis. It wouldn't be a John Wick movie without some jaw-dropping set pieces, and the film delivers in spades. The action is brutal and beautiful, and on a whole new level in John Wick 4.

Indeed, it far surpasses anything else that has come before in the franchise, and I do not say that lightly. From a thrilling half-hour sequence in Osaka that involves the use of (and this list isn't exhaustive at all), hands, crossbows, pistols, revolvers, assault rifles, knives, swords, and nunchucks, to John evading a city-worth of assassins, and my personal favourite, a dreamy, almost ethereal hand-to-hand brawl against the German head of the High Table Killa (Scott Adkins) in a Berlin nightclub amid swaying dancers... it has all the makings of an all-time great action film, eclipsed perhaps only by Mad Max: Fury Road.

From New York to Berlin to Paris, each locale provides a new canvas for Stahelski to deliver visceral mayhem. The choreography is so slick and stunt-work so incredible that they will make your head spin.

John Wick 4 is also a gorgeous-looking film, even beyond the fights and clever camera wizardry.

The stunning, elegiac imagery here is not something you expect in films like these. You would find yourself wanting to pause to take in all in. I know I did.

I never thought I'd say this about a 169-minute movie, but I want to see John Wick 4 again as soon as possible.
