"Stylish gutter-punk prequel that never finds Wick's grace"
A prequel to the John Wick films, this miniseries drops us into 1970s New York to explain how a young Winston Scott becomes entangled with the assassin underworld and the hotel that will one day bear his name. Told across three feature-length episodes, it trades Wick's lean gun-fu poetry for a grimier heist plot, neon-lit set design, and a rogues' gallery of hitmen. It looks terrific and the action has moments of real flair, but the pacing sags and it never quite earns the mythic weight of its source material.
the neon-drenched 1970s production design and a handful of inventive, brutal action set pieces.
you expect the tight, mythic momentum of the John Wick films rather than a slower origin story.
