Keanu Reeves returns as the stoic gunman and Donnie Yen is on his trail in the franchise's most elaborate and stunt-heavy entry yet. So what if it doesn't make sense?

The"John Wick" franchise, helmed by kick-boxer turned stuntman turned director Chad Stahelski, has always valued action over plot, visual pop over cerebral reflection or, heck, even common sense. But"Chapter 4" takes it all to such cartoonish extremes that it makes the previous films look like PBS documentaries. Not that there's anything wrong with that.

The High Table has a new Marquis , sort of the organization's CEO, whose cruelty knows no bounds and whose job number one is to rid the world of the meddlesome and murderous John Wick. There's a huge bounty on Wick's head, a number that attracts would-be bounty hunters, including Tracker who may or may not have other ideas. He also has a killer dog, a shout-out to the previous films, all of which featured Wick's dog.
