Another Twitter user called the shot composition the absolute “highlight” of the trailer.

The #JohnWick4 trailer is absolutely brilliant, great song choice, just enough action to get you pumped, new mysterious characters & probably most surprisingly the cinematography is the highlight of the trailer.

Another Twitter user compared one shot seen in the trailer to an iconic scene in Indiana Jones and The Last Crusade.

Looking madcap & OTT as ever, excited is an understatement. Immediately thought of 'The Last Crusade' when that sunset frame appeared, nice 🤘

CINEMA INCOMING

The John Wick franchise has arguably revitalized not only Keanu Reeves’ career, but action movies in general. Part of that is because stunt professional-turned-filmmaker Chad Stahelski has taken the helm behind the camera in the series, including directing John Wick 4. Gone are the Bourne Identity clones in cinemas utilizing claustrophobic shakey-cams and quick-edits, but rather, every action movie today seems to be trying to emulate the more smoothly presented, intricately choreographed, action scenes of the John Wick franchise.

John Wick 4 comes to theaters on March 24, 2023.
