![]() The franchise's unbearable third installment, John Wick Chapter 3: Parabellum, (the latin phrase meaning "prepare for war"), opens Friday in wide release. It is impossible to enjoy even as pure fantasy, yet it remains beloved by the country's savviest culture critics, who were smitten by the simplicity of a man going on a killing spree to avenge his dog, (the plot of 2014's John Wick). Its deranged narrative architecture, the central plank of which is that roughly half of the world's population, and all of its homeless people, belong to secretive, hierarchical associations of assassins, is hands-down the dumbest ever conceived. It stars a bruised and grunting Keanu Reeves as a retired hit man and features some of the most senseless, brutal, boring fight choreography in the history of cinema. John Wick is a hyper-violent action franchise about men's fashion and pet ownership in New York City.
