Whoever came up with the idea of a bulletproof blazer deserves a raise. Not only has this kevlar-laden garment made for some of the coolest action sequences ever committed to film, it’s also allowed Hollywood’s favorite hitman, John Wick, to shrug off more knife attacks, pistol rounds and 100-foot falls than might reasonably be absorbed by Superman across three increasingly bloody movies.
Lo and behold, the bulletproof blazer returns in earnest for John Wick: Chapter 4 – the fourth (and possibly final) John Wick installment from stuntman-turned-film-director Chad Stahelski – and never has “the best in ballistic chic” proved more useful to Keanu Reeves’ titular bullet sponge than in this near-plotless three-hour gunfight.
