All things considered, it’s not entirely shocking the script is a mess. Takes some big emotional swings that don’t feel particularly earned and even I can it the presence of Wick himself is a bit shoehorned (despite giving us that great line from the random henchman).

Fortunately, Ana De Armas is so intensely committed to Eve Macarro that the savagery of her action is enough to keep even the messiest of scripts afloat. It also helps that the action still has that tried and proven Stahelski zip and humor— taking turns breaking plates over one another’s head is so silly, but it’s not a John Wick movie without some Looney Tunes gag.

I wonder what this movie would have been like if Stahelski directed it. Or maybe he did? Guess we’ll never know.
