'One of the greatest action films of our generation' is now available to stream for free

Netflix subscribers have been given a treat as they can now stream one of the most adrenaline-fueled action thrillers to hit screens, without paying extra.

First premiering in cinemas in 2023, this high-octane escapade starring a prominent Hollywood actor garnered critical acclaim and dominated box office sales.

Naturally, we're alluding to the John Wick franchise, which successfully re-established Keanu Reeves' status as an action hero more than a decade after we saw the last of the original Matrix series.

Launching back in 2014, the saga chronicles the life of an ex-hitman who plunges back into the underworld after his dog, a final present from his deceased wife, is heartbreakingly murdered.

The narrative of vengeance unfolded further in the fourth chapter the previous year, thrusting John into a direct confrontation with the formidable crime boss, Marquis Vincent de Gramont, portrayed by Bill Skarsgard, reports the Mirror.

There's more excitement on the horizon for the franchise, with several spin-offs and prequels currently underway, including Ballerina featuring Ana de Armas.

Meanwhile, John Wick: Chapter 4 is often touted as the peak of the franchise, and now both longstanding enthusiasts and newcomers alike can enjoy it on Netflix.

One X (formerly Twitter) DiscussingFilm account even declared: "#JohnWick4 isn't just the best of the franchise, but one of the greatest action films of our generation."

A wave of praise has also emerged from thousands of other supporters, with a fan expressing: "You guys will not believe some of the s**t that happens in #JohnWick4. It is irrefutably awesome.

"A self-indulgent, silly, maximalist epic with some of the most jaw-dropping stunts and action I've ever seen. When are we gonna start saying Keanu is better at this than Tom Cruise?"

Another viewer enthused: "I loved John Wick 4. There are some truly jaw-dropping scenes, and you'll never look at stairs the same way again.

"Donnie Yen is exceptional. One of the best action movies of the last decade, easy."

"John Wick 4 has some of the best action in the series but also found it pretty moving," shared another film goer. "Wick's dynamic with Donnie Yen's character is kinda beautiful."

Yet another eager fan remarked: "Just walked out of John Wick 4 and not only is it the best film in the series but it's one of the best action films I've seen in a long time with some of the best action and choreography in the genre."

And another cinema enthusiast reported: "John Wick: Chapter 4 is one of the finest action movies ever. My jaw hit the floor at least six times.

"One section involving a Dragon's Breath shotgun is just action-movie goodness at its best. Donnie Yen steals the show. Easily the best in the series."

Don't just take their words for it; now is the ideal chance to experience the latest thrilling addition to the John Wick saga yourself.
