John Wick: Chapter 3 — Parabellum finds John in his most precarious situation yet — and that's bad news for anyone that gets in his way.

30-second review: The reason the unlikely John Wick franchise works is because it understands its audience and, more importantly, trusts them. John Wick: Chapter 3 — Parabellum mercifully leaves the bloated plot of the second installment behind to deliver another lean action-thriller with enough forward momentum to give you the genre thrills you crave. And the action is stunning. It becomes a little too self-aware in its third act to stick the landing, but the journey there is definitely worth it.

Where to watch John Wick: Chapter 3 — Parabellum: Available to buy or rent on Prime Video.
