Commonsensemedia Rating https://www.commonsensemedia.org/movie-reviews/john-wick-chapter-4 last updated: 2024-10-26Update data
Message 1/5	Even among assassins, a code of honor exists. Rules are rules, and a promise is a promise. There's strong evidence that violence begets violence, and that once the circle has begun, it's nearly impossible to break out of it, no matter how badly you might want to.
Role model 1/5	John Wick is a deadly killer, but he struggles with the line of work he finds himself stuck in and would really like nothing more than some peace. He kills, but "only" those who intend to hurt others. He breaks the rules, but it's in order to protect those he considers friends.
Diverse 3/5	Central character John Wick is played by Keanu Reeves, who's of English, Native Hawaiian, Chinese, and Portuguese descent. Wick's friend Winston (Ian McShane) and the villain, the Marquis (Bill Skarsgård), are White men, but most of other characters are women and/or people of color (though, in general, this is a male-dominated story). The Bowery King (Laurence Fishburne), the Tracker (Shamier Anderson), and Charon (Lance Reddick), the concierge of the Continental Hotel, are all Black. Hiroyuki Sanada (who plays Shimazu, the manager of the Osaka Continental) and Rina Sawayama (his daughter Akira) are both from Japan, Donnie Yen (the sighted actor who plays blind swordsman Caine) is from China, and Natalia Tena (Katia, who adopts John Wick into her family) is of Spanish descent.
Violence 5/5	Extremely graphic, intense action violence. Many, many characters die. Lots of guns and shooting, with bullet wounds, blood sprays, martial arts fighting, punching, kicking, bloody wounds, brutal injuries, etc. Bows and arrows and swords. Neck-slicing. Hand stabbed and pinned to wooden block, character pulls hand loose, tearing own flesh (squishing sounds heard). Multiple stabbings. Pickax to head. Ax-throwing. Characters shot with gun that causes them to burst into flame. Blood spatters. Oozing blood. Multiple car crashes, pedestrians smashing into moving cars. Dog smashed into car windshield (he's OK). A building explodes. Characters thrown through glass windows. Characters falling from great heights, bashing against obstacles on the way down. Character bashed into metal pole. Characters branding flesh. Dog ordered to attack (both "nuts!" and "kill!"). Character hanging by neck from rope, choking. Character falling down multiple stairs.
Sex 0/5	Extremely graphic, intense action violence. Many, many characters die. Lots of guns and shooting, with bullet wounds, blood sprays, martial arts fighting, punching, kicking, bloody wounds, brutal injuries, etc. Bows and arrows and swords. Neck-slicing. Hand stabbed and pinned to wooden block, character pulls hand loose, tearing own flesh (squishing sounds heard). Multiple stabbings. Pickax to head. Ax-throwing. Characters shot with gun that causes them to burst into flame. Blood spatters. Oozing blood. Multiple car crashes, pedestrians smashing into moving cars. Dog smashed into car windshield (he's OK). A building explodes. Characters thrown through glass windows. Characters falling from great heights, bashing against obstacles on the way down. Character bashed into metal pole. Characters branding flesh. Dog ordered to attack (both "nuts!" and "kill!"). Character hanging by neck from rope, choking. Character falling down multiple stairs.
Language 4/5	Sporadic use of "f--k," "motherf----r," "s--t," "merde," "a--hole," "ass," "bastard," "hell," "damn," "nuts."
Consumerism 1/5	Tie-in merchandise available (toys, blankets, clothing, etc.).
Drinking 0/5	Adult characters drink various alcoholic beverages in social settings.

Review Title

Rating*

Rating is just the typical 5 star rating you'd give the film like you'd see on any other review site.

Support*

Support is a boycott suggestion and is meant to be a way for us to consolidate our efforts in “voting with our dollars.” Obviously, Hollywood has proven that they will sacrifice profits for the sake of their agenda, but they’re not as monolithic as you’d think. And people still respond to incentives.

So the 3 options are:

Pay to watch:

This movie is worth your time, and you should support the creators financially so we get more content like it.

Watch it AND give them money.

Watch if free:

The show is entertaining, but you shouldn’t reward the creators for whatever reason. Perhaps you don't want to support preachy celebs who hate their fans. Or maybe you enjoy superhero movies and nostalgia bait, but don't want to encourage Hollywood to continue making them in such a high ratio.

That’s when you’d click the “Watch Now” button and choose from one of the “Free” links:

( Use at your own risk. ZeitgeistReviews does not endorse any of the links and we don’t condone piracy. And we definitely discourage you from using this Reddit thread that shows you all of the places to pirate movies & tv. )

Watch it BUT don’t give them money.

Skip it:

This means the movie wasn’t even worth your time. Maybe it's so full of Woke crap that you’ll want to pull your hair out half way through. Or it could simply just be a piece of s**t, and not in a "so bad it's good" kind of way.

Don’t watch it AND don’t give them money.

( Note: We have expanded our site from just TV & Movies. Now we have games and will add music/books/etc. So the wording might change but the sentiment is still the same for every "Support" section. )

Review text*

Note: Please wrap spoilers [spoiler] like this. [/spoiler]

Neo-Marxism

Neo-Marxism, (sometimes referred to as "Cultural Marxism"), rates the amount of fanatic egalitarianism in a film. Consider this mainly a rating for anti-nationalist and anti-capitalist themes.

Feminism

Strong and multidimensional female characters are fine. This is mainly referring to girlboss crap, unrealistic Mary Sue content, and/or egregious scenes of manhood being disparaged.

Affirmative Action

Affirmative Action rates how much "diversity" is being pushed. ( Not true diversity, but the anti-White checklist kind.)

Gay Stuff

Gay Stuff rates the amount of non-tradional sexuality depicted.

Fedora Tipping

Fedora Tipping rates the amount of atheism / Scientism™ in a film.
