KILLING TIME...

KEANU REEVES AND HIS JOHN WICK CO-STARS TALK TO RACHAEL DAVIS ABOUT THE FOURTH CHAPTER OF THE ACTION THRILLER FRANCHISE

AFTER three instalments of the John Wick franchise, and with a fourth film arriving in cinemas and a spin-off on the way, star Keanu Reeves has come to know his titular character inside out.

Since 2014 the Hollywood icon, 58, has inhabited the role of the enigmatic hitman who, after pledging to retire as a killer for hire, finds himself in conflict with the highpowered, international criminal underworld of which he was once a part.

In John Wick: Chapter 4, stuntman-turned-director Chad Stahelski returns to tell an action-packed tale of John's battle for his freedom from the clutches of The High Table, a council of 12 crime lords which governs the world's most powerful criminal organisations.

With a multimillion-dollar bounty on his head, it's not just The High Table after John - he must fight off bounty hunters around the world who are trying to get their hands on the huge reward for his murder, all while keeping The High Table's own trained killers at bay.

As you might expect with a talented stuntman at the helm, the John Wick films are all about the action and this fourth instalment is no exception.

"John Wick's about the pistols," smiles Keanu as I ask him about his favourite weapon of the many his character uses in the film - a arsenal which 6 huge includes nunchucks, swords, glass... pretty much anything he can get his hands on.

The Matrix and Point Break star has built a reputation for doing most of his Love training choreogra of net Keanu own stunts, a trend which continues in John Wick: Chapter 4.

"Love the training, love the choreography, lots of new stuff," he says of the new film.
