"John Wick 4: A Grandiose Action Epic with a Sensational Ending"

The original cut of "John Wick: Chapter 4" was three hours and 45 minutes long, but director Chad Stahelski and editor Nathan Orloff managed to cut it down to a more manageable two hours and 50 minutes. The film's expanded world and introduction of new supporting characters contributed to the lengthy runtime, but the editing team focused on keeping John Wick as the center of the universe and compressing repeated ideas to maintain a linear story. The editing plan paid off, as the film has received franchise-best reviews from critics.
