No way John Wick would survive a lot of what happens to him in this movie. He takes like 3 40 feet drops to concrete and gets hit by at least 2 cars. All in the same night.

The audience gasp when he falls out of the building after the "video game apartment gunfight" scene....
Probably happened in every theater.
So here's the thing - a thing that the "it's the best one YET!" crowd won't cop to for another year or so... And that is that part 4 was great of course, but also basically crossed the line into parody of itself. There's "over the top", but once you get beyond "over the top" you get into parody. And this had a foot or two over that line. It's still a fun movie, but we are a far cry from the jaw-dropping "skills" of the first one and into full-blown outlandish territory here now.
