John Wick: Chapter 4 2023
John Wick: Chapter 4 injects you with a high octane drug that keeps you euphoric as the action rises to monumental heights. The cinematography and choreography are jaw-dropping. Absolutely incredible work. One of the things I’ve loved most about this franchise is how its action sequences remain grounded. It still amazes without going for big explosions or Tom Cruise style stunts. In the film’s last hour, the action is continuous for a long stretch. It’s rare to see it executed in…

While the script does have many issues, the franchise’s latest is bigger and bloodier than ever. Ghostface is let loose in New York City, equalling stabbier stabs and killer violence.

Sharper 2023
Sharper, now on Apple TV+, is a high-stakes game of power and greed that hits you with twist after twist. Benjamin Caron’s film is a sleek, sexy psychological thriller … until a third act that sees it almost trip and fall on the rug it’s been pulling under the audience’s feet. Still, the trickery is thrilling enough to also see past the absent answer to a key question. As the secrets of penthouse fifth avenue get exposed, those who thirst for riches and power get fucked over. And who doesn’t love that?
