“Caine, (Donnie Yen) steals every scene he’s in”, said another user while talking about the martial artist.
#JohnWickChapter4 is an intense throughout the entire film. Caine, (Donnie Yen) steals every scene he’s in and, as expected, the action in this film is next level. The film definitely left me wanting more. Lastly, there’s a post credit scene I recommend staying for. pic.twitter.com/QDSraJOPGz

With the new cast of series newcomers, a user said, “Donnie Yen is the MVP”
I had reservations about John Wick: Chapter 4's nearly three hour runtime, but the movie earns it. It's an epic with smart pacing that never lets the action feel exhausting, and the set pieces are phenomenal. Great cast of series newcomers, but Donnie Yen is the MVP. #JohnWick4 pic.twitter.com/xyMbLXmXUM

Despite the lengthy runtime, the movie has “moments that’ll have fans talking.”
John Wick: Chapter 4 is absolutely HUGE. Yes, it's long, but its outrageously good set pieces more than make up for it. A slick, brutal and stylish action epic that sees Keanu Reeves push himself further than before, and with moments that'll have fans talking… #JohnWick4 pic.twitter.com/6zNg6c3KX5

“one of the greatest Hollywood action movies ever made”

I honestly don't know how they safely did some of these scenes. It's a towering artistic achievement. pic.twitter.com/LljisftZBp
