The latest chapter of the John Wick saga was all about collateral damage. That’s par the course for the franchise that’s since become infamous for its creative kills, but with John Wick: Chapter 4, the film added The Continental to its list of casualties. The assassin haven finds itself deconsecrated, sending its two stewards — whiskey-swilling manager Winston Scott (Ian McShane) and his concierge, Charon (the late Lance Reddick) — on a new path. It felt like the closing of a chapter, an abrupt farewell to something that felt as much like a character as the film’s title anti-hero (Keanu Reeves).
