    ★★★½

    Forgot how stacked this supporting cast is: Richard Jenkins, Kathryn Hahn, Mary Steenburgen, Adam Scott. Even Rob Riggle makes a feast of his few scenes.

    John Wick: Chapter 4

    ★★★½

    John Wick: Chapter 4 runs nearly three hours. Would you believe that the movie makes nearly every minute count? www.larsenonfilm.com/john-wick-chapter-4

    Like a Fast and Furious film that’s been stripped for its flashy parts. Audio review here: youtu.be/AQOruHTZLxM

    ★★★½

    Look for a 25th anniversary Sacred Cow review on this week's Filmspotting. For those of you who followed along with our TC Movie Club series on the Coen brothers, I'd say this one is an Old Testament film, with Sam Elliott's Stranger as the prophet the Dude ignores.
