Tonight September 22
The grinding ballet of gunfire and bone-crunching carnage John Wick fans have come to expect from the Keanu Reeves franchise will not be disappointed in a three-part prequel — movie-length installments drop over three Fridays — focusing on the origin story in the gritty 1970s of Winston Scott (Ian McShane in the films, Colin Woodell here) as he fights to take control of the Continental, the hotel sanctuary for global assassins. A gruff and hammy Mel Gibson co-stars as the current proprietor, the crooked Cormac, who’s desperate to retrieve a coin press stolen by Winston’s estranged, Vietnam-vet brother Frankie (Animal Kingdom’s Ben Robson).
