If there’s one thing The Continental: From the World of John Wick does extremely well, it’s remind you just how great the John Wick movies are.
This three-part prequel series seeks to deepen the lore and world-building of the John Wick franchise, but it only succeeds in sucking the life out of it. Oh, did you enjoy the films’ distinctive color palette? Hope you like scene after scene of washed-out, dimly lit murk. Obsessed with those gun-fu smackdowns? Feast your eyes on a series of lesser imitations. Love leading man Keanu Reeves? Have fun with noted racist, homophobe, and antisemite Mel Gibson.
