1 00:00:00,200 --> 00:00:05,080 Speaker 1: Break the Flick with Benohe on ninety six MS back. 2 00:00:05,280 --> 00:00:08,920 Speaker 1: Welcome back, I am. I'm back, fresh and rested, and. 3 00:00:08,920 --> 00:00:13,760 Speaker 2: I'm back just like John Wick, I'm thinking for the 4 00:00:13,800 --> 00:00:14,280 Speaker 2: fourth time. 5 00:00:14,440 --> 00:00:14,920 Speaker 1: Yeah. 6 00:00:14,960 --> 00:00:17,279 Speaker 3: Well, first of all, very sad news earlier this you 7 00:00:17,320 --> 00:00:22,800 Speaker 3: know week that the guy that plays yeah the sadly 8 00:00:22,960 --> 00:00:27,000 Speaker 3: died and they honored him at the at the you know, 9 00:00:27,080 --> 00:00:29,520 Speaker 3: the premier of the movie they did. 10 00:00:29,520 --> 00:00:32,000 Speaker 2: Indeed, and now at least sometimes we talk about these 11 00:00:32,000 --> 00:00:34,600 Speaker 2: big action blockbusters and I can see your eyes glaze 12 00:00:34,640 --> 00:00:35,239 Speaker 2: over a little bit. 13 00:00:36,200 --> 00:00:38,080 Speaker 1: John Wick, how do you feel about John Wick? 14 00:00:38,280 --> 00:00:41,560 Speaker 3: I loved the John Wick movie that I saw, and yeah, 15 00:00:41,680 --> 00:00:44,920 Speaker 3: I love Keanu Reeves. No one should go over somewhere 16 00:00:45,000 --> 00:00:46,400 Speaker 3: go after someone's puppy. 17 00:00:47,000 --> 00:00:49,239 Speaker 2: You know, that's exactly you know, There's going to be 18 00:00:49,680 --> 00:00:52,199 Speaker 2: there was going to be trouble consequences. Yeah, but you 19 00:00:52,200 --> 00:00:55,160 Speaker 2: know what, that first movie was actually amazing, like genre defining, 20 00:00:55,160 --> 00:00:57,920 Speaker 2: I would even say, as an action movie directed by 21 00:00:58,200 --> 00:01:01,000 Speaker 2: a former stunt man, so he really put the focus 22 00:01:01,040 --> 00:01:03,880 Speaker 2: on those stunts. The action sequences in the first movie 23 00:01:04,080 --> 00:01:07,319 Speaker 2: just knocked everybody out of their seats. The gunplay, the 24 00:01:07,360 --> 00:01:11,240 Speaker 2: fight scenes just absolutely incredible. Story, the storyline it actually 25 00:01:11,280 --> 00:01:13,080 Speaker 2: had a plot that you could kind of hold on 26 00:01:13,120 --> 00:01:16,080 Speaker 2: to and had some emotional elements with the dog and 27 00:01:16,120 --> 00:01:18,839 Speaker 2: the wife who died of cancer at. 28 00:01:18,760 --> 00:01:21,240 Speaker 1: The start of the film. Believability. 29 00:01:21,840 --> 00:01:24,320 Speaker 2: From there, you know, some of the subsequent john Wick 30 00:01:24,400 --> 00:01:26,640 Speaker 2: movies have kind of moved away from that kind of 31 00:01:26,680 --> 00:01:30,800 Speaker 2: like realistic anchor points, and they've leaned into this kind 32 00:01:30,880 --> 00:01:36,800 Speaker 2: of underworld mythology, this criminal organization called the Table and 33 00:01:36,840 --> 00:01:42,520 Speaker 2: that run everything, and that probably has not been as successful, 34 00:01:42,560 --> 00:01:47,480 Speaker 2: even though the films themselves have been incredibly successful. Between 35 00:01:47,480 --> 00:01:50,320 Speaker 2: them all, you're talking well over a half a billion dollars. 36 00:01:51,120 --> 00:01:53,000 Speaker 2: And so john Wick two I didn't really love it. 37 00:01:53,080 --> 00:01:57,320 Speaker 2: John Wick three Parabellum. I thought the action sequences were amazing, 38 00:01:57,480 --> 00:02:00,200 Speaker 2: the plot pretty much non existent. It was basically every 39 00:02:00,280 --> 00:02:02,160 Speaker 2: hit man in the world is trying to kill john Wick. 40 00:02:02,320 --> 00:02:06,000 Speaker 2: Good luck to get john Wick is pretty unkillable, but 41 00:02:06,200 --> 00:02:09,359 Speaker 2: the fight scenes were so awesome. I kind of cut 42 00:02:09,440 --> 00:02:12,560 Speaker 2: that film some slack. Yeah. This fourth chapter comes along 43 00:02:12,760 --> 00:02:15,680 Speaker 2: basically picks up the story after the events of the 44 00:02:15,720 --> 00:02:18,600 Speaker 2: third film. John Wick has fought all the assassins in 45 00:02:18,639 --> 00:02:21,480 Speaker 2: the world. He kind of fakes his. 46 00:02:21,440 --> 00:02:22,800 Speaker 1: Own dad and he wanted to retire. 47 00:02:22,840 --> 00:02:25,799 Speaker 2: As I recall, he wanted to, He wanted to get 48 00:02:25,800 --> 00:02:28,440 Speaker 2: out the first movie, and now he just can't. He can't, 49 00:02:28,720 --> 00:02:32,280 Speaker 2: and so he's he's now faked his own death at 50 00:02:32,320 --> 00:02:34,440 Speaker 2: the end of the third movie, so no one knows 51 00:02:34,480 --> 00:02:36,920 Speaker 2: that he's still out there, and he decides, you know what, 52 00:02:37,000 --> 00:02:38,640 Speaker 2: the only way that I can actually get out of 53 00:02:38,680 --> 00:02:42,200 Speaker 2: this lifestyle is to take on the table, take on 54 00:02:42,240 --> 00:02:46,000 Speaker 2: this criminal organization. Whatever that takes, I'm going to knock 55 00:02:46,040 --> 00:02:49,880 Speaker 2: off the head bloke in this case, played by Bill Scarsguard, 56 00:02:49,919 --> 00:02:53,640 Speaker 2: a great actor who plays a Frenchman called the Marquee. 57 00:02:54,360 --> 00:02:57,560 Speaker 2: And so it sets off a very similar path as 58 00:02:57,600 --> 00:02:59,480 Speaker 2: the previous films, a whole bunch of people trying to 59 00:02:59,520 --> 00:03:02,400 Speaker 2: kill John Week. But the interesting thing about this film 60 00:03:02,639 --> 00:03:04,800 Speaker 2: is one of those people trying to kill him is 61 00:03:04,840 --> 00:03:08,040 Speaker 2: the great Hong Kong action star Donnie Yen, who was 62 00:03:08,040 --> 00:03:11,040 Speaker 2: in the HP Man movies and he was in Star 63 00:03:11,120 --> 00:03:14,280 Speaker 2: Wars Rogue one. Interestingly, in that film, he was playing 64 00:03:14,520 --> 00:03:17,040 Speaker 2: a like sort of like a blind Jedi. In this film, 65 00:03:17,120 --> 00:03:20,160 Speaker 2: he's playing a blind Jedi, playing a blind hitman. It 66 00:03:20,200 --> 00:03:21,960 Speaker 2: makes more sense as a Jedi because you can kind 67 00:03:21,960 --> 00:03:25,160 Speaker 2: of use the force in the exactly in this film. 68 00:03:25,440 --> 00:03:28,160 Speaker 2: He uses doorbells, you know, with the motion sensors. He 69 00:03:28,240 --> 00:03:30,320 Speaker 2: likes to eat with those adhesive backings and he like 70 00:03:30,360 --> 00:03:32,320 Speaker 2: sets them up around the room and when a bad 71 00:03:32,360 --> 00:03:37,680 Speaker 2: guy walks past her Bing Dong. Yeah, so that's actually 72 00:03:37,760 --> 00:03:42,000 Speaker 2: quite cool. And Donna and Donnie Yen is insane in 73 00:03:42,040 --> 00:03:44,680 Speaker 2: the fight sequences, like you know, like Keanu is great, 74 00:03:44,720 --> 00:03:47,560 Speaker 2: but a lot of it is a stunt performers. Donnie 75 00:03:47,600 --> 00:03:48,120 Speaker 2: Yen does it? 76 00:03:48,360 --> 00:03:51,040 Speaker 1: Does it choreograph? Yeah, incredible. 77 00:03:51,320 --> 00:03:53,080 Speaker 2: And this film is like it's like a Bond movie, 78 00:03:53,120 --> 00:03:55,040 Speaker 2: you know, where you're going across lots of different countries 79 00:03:55,080 --> 00:03:58,720 Speaker 2: and setups. You've got Paris, you've got the Middle East, 80 00:03:58,800 --> 00:04:02,160 Speaker 2: you've got New York, Berlin. There's a great there's a 81 00:04:02,160 --> 00:04:05,840 Speaker 2: great fight scene at the famous nightclub in Berlin Bergheim, 82 00:04:06,360 --> 00:04:10,080 Speaker 2: which is bonkers. But to be honest with you, like 83 00:04:10,560 --> 00:04:13,880 Speaker 2: I was a little disappointed by John Wick four. It's 84 00:04:13,960 --> 00:04:17,760 Speaker 2: three hours long, and god, I know. 85 00:04:17,920 --> 00:04:18,960 Speaker 1: It was just becoming a trend. 86 00:04:21,160 --> 00:04:23,400 Speaker 2: Yeah and so and so I was thinking, you know what, 87 00:04:23,720 --> 00:04:26,840 Speaker 2: it's going to be a lot of really amazing fight sequences. 88 00:04:26,880 --> 00:04:29,160 Speaker 2: There certainly was a lot of fight sequences, but they 89 00:04:29,160 --> 00:04:32,520 Speaker 2: didn't really have that innovative quality of some of the 90 00:04:32,560 --> 00:04:34,600 Speaker 2: previous films where he's like on a horse with a 91 00:04:34,640 --> 00:04:37,000 Speaker 2: samurai sword fighting ten dudes on motorbikes. 92 00:04:37,160 --> 00:04:40,760 Speaker 1: This time was kind of just fairly standard. Yeah, it 93 00:04:40,839 --> 00:04:41,480 Speaker 1: was just it's just. 94 00:04:41,440 --> 00:04:44,080 Speaker 2: Like, okay, his fifty blokes and I'm just going to 95 00:04:44,120 --> 00:04:45,520 Speaker 2: punch them for half an hour. 96 00:04:45,800 --> 00:04:48,520 Speaker 1: Yeah. And one of the silly things. 97 00:04:48,360 --> 00:04:50,839 Speaker 2: About this film is they all wear these like beautiful 98 00:04:50,839 --> 00:04:54,320 Speaker 2: three piece suits that miraculously a bulletproof, like actually the 99 00:04:54,320 --> 00:04:58,280 Speaker 2: fabric is apparently so people getting shot left front center 100 00:04:58,320 --> 00:05:02,600 Speaker 2: and it's not killing them, So everybody is kind of unkillable, 101 00:05:02,600 --> 00:05:04,760 Speaker 2: which kind of makes the stakes feel it's. 102 00:05:04,800 --> 00:05:07,960 Speaker 1: A little bit unimportant. Yeah, right there. 103 00:05:08,160 --> 00:05:09,920 Speaker 2: And there is a dog in it. You'll be happy 104 00:05:10,000 --> 00:05:11,520 Speaker 2: to know it's not John Wick. Someone else has a 105 00:05:11,520 --> 00:05:13,480 Speaker 2: dog that plays a pretty prominent role. 106 00:05:15,600 --> 00:05:16,600 Speaker 1: It. Let's get hit by. 107 00:05:16,480 --> 00:05:18,840 Speaker 2: A car and survives a lot of a lot of 108 00:05:18,839 --> 00:05:20,680 Speaker 2: people get hit by car. There's a there's a fight 109 00:05:20,760 --> 00:05:25,039 Speaker 2: scene around the roundabout at the Ark the treoph which 110 00:05:25,080 --> 00:05:28,720 Speaker 2: is it's a crazy, crazy roundabout, like you know, you're 111 00:05:28,760 --> 00:05:30,760 Speaker 2: taking your life into your own hands, not even in 112 00:05:30,760 --> 00:05:32,720 Speaker 2: a John Wick movie. If you're trying to cross that, 113 00:05:33,600 --> 00:05:35,560 Speaker 2: and so there's this huge fight scene that was probably 114 00:05:35,600 --> 00:05:37,720 Speaker 2: the best bit of the film, and john Wick must 115 00:05:37,720 --> 00:05:39,720 Speaker 2: get hit by a car like seventeen times. It walks 116 00:05:39,720 --> 00:05:42,560 Speaker 2: away from it every time. So it's one of those 117 00:05:42,560 --> 00:05:45,320 Speaker 2: films that you wouldn't probably go there if you're expecting, 118 00:05:45,400 --> 00:05:48,240 Speaker 2: you know, sort of realism. It's not that. Like at 119 00:05:48,279 --> 00:05:49,920 Speaker 2: one point he falls out of a three story will 120 00:05:50,320 --> 00:05:54,040 Speaker 2: window onto a combe van walks away from that too. 121 00:05:53,960 --> 00:05:56,280 Speaker 1: So I'm one of those suits. 122 00:05:56,520 --> 00:05:59,960 Speaker 2: Yeah, And weirdly enough, at the previous screening I went 123 00:06:00,040 --> 00:06:02,159 Speaker 2: to last night, a fire alarm went off in the 124 00:06:02,160 --> 00:06:03,880 Speaker 2: middle of it. They have to evacuate the cinema. I 125 00:06:03,880 --> 00:06:07,760 Speaker 2: thought it was part of the film I'm going to show, 126 00:06:08,520 --> 00:06:11,480 Speaker 2: but no, it didn't happen. So look, this is this 127 00:06:11,560 --> 00:06:14,240 Speaker 2: is probably a film that the fans of the franchise 128 00:06:14,400 --> 00:06:17,640 Speaker 2: will be fantastic More John Week is what we want 129 00:06:18,200 --> 00:06:19,000 Speaker 2: for anybody else. 130 00:06:19,040 --> 00:06:20,640 Speaker 1: I think it'll be a bit of a slog to 131 00:06:20,680 --> 00:06:21,839 Speaker 1: get it. It's an intermission. 132 00:06:22,640 --> 00:06:24,960 Speaker 2: I got one, so that helped me. You had a 133 00:06:24,960 --> 00:06:29,840 Speaker 2: little bathroom break the action. But yeah, it's definitely nowhere 134 00:06:29,839 --> 00:06:30,760 Speaker 2: near as good as the first one. 135 00:06:30,800 --> 00:06:34,160 Speaker 3: All right, Well, how many ding dongs are you giving. 136 00:06:33,960 --> 00:06:37,400 Speaker 2: It, well, look, I have to factor in this this 137 00:06:37,839 --> 00:06:40,880 Speaker 2: fire alarm which maybe impacted my viewing experience. Like my 138 00:06:40,920 --> 00:06:42,440 Speaker 2: gut tells me it's like a two and a half, 139 00:06:42,480 --> 00:06:45,040 Speaker 2: but I'm going to give it a three because maybe 140 00:06:45,120 --> 00:06:46,880 Speaker 2: maybe the fire alarm kind of took me out of 141 00:06:46,880 --> 00:06:49,120 Speaker 2: it a little bit two and a half. Three I 142 00:06:49,160 --> 00:06:50,240 Speaker 2: reckon is where this one lands? 143 00:06:50,279 --> 00:06:50,560 Speaker 3: All right? 144 00:06:50,720 --> 00:06:54,239 Speaker 1: For your three for number four? Thank you, Ben, Thanks guys. 145 00:06:54,480 --> 00:06:56,320 Speaker 1: Been good to see man Binochet and joining a seer 146 00:06:56,360 --> 00:06:57,280 Speaker 1: at ninety six a FM.
