Tick tock mr wick gif8/17/2023 There are so many things to unpack in this trailer-tactical dogs! Los Angeles Clippers center Boban Marjanovic!-that I must do it precisely and intensely, second by glorious second. It’s the greatest two minutes of 2019 and likely won’t be topped until May 17. On the other hand, if you already have the words “Baba Yaga” tattooed on some part of your body, let me introduce you to the first footage of John Wick: Chapter 3-Parabellum, arriving May 17. If you’re not yet caught up with all things Wickian, stop reading this, leave your current premises-quit your job if you need to you can always find another one-and spend your afternoon luxuriating yourself in the Citizen Kane of improbable long-distance headshots. (By the end of John Wick: Chapter 2, the film implies that the entirety of New York is just a bunch of hired guns, which will make you think twice about being rude to someone on the subway.) It puts the shaky-cam action of the Jason Bourne movies to shame by infusing fight scenes with the balletic brilliance of Hong Kong–style martial arts it’s revitalized the career of the great Keanu Reeves (to paraphrase Neo: He now knows gun-fu) it’s established some fascinating, assassin-related world-building that never takes itself too seriously. But I assure you, John Wick, our greatest modern franchise, is that good. Those last two things may seem contradictory, especially if you have a cursory grasp of the John Wick films and know that the crux of the plot hinges on puppy murder.
