Now Wick has a $14 million price tag on his head and an army of international bounty-hunters on his tail.
As the series moves further away from the original "dead puppy" revenge plot of the original it is losing some of the simplicity that made the first two movies so enjoyable. The world of the High Table comes with rules aplenty, but in the context of these action films less could be more. We don't need complicated worldbuilding. This isn't a Marvel movie, it's a fists of fury action flick that threatens to get bogged down by details.

The touchy-feely why-can't-we-all-just-get-along vibe is a simple and frequently over used sentiment but here it works if you buy in. Score one for Daniel.
