The John Wick franchise was a revolution in the world of action cinema. Not unlike The Matrix, Wick represented a new combination of elements that reinvigorated the medium. One mid-budget shoot-em-up leaped from obscurity into the forefront of the cultural imagination, launching its star into the limelight and its format into an eternal state of regular reuse. John Wick went four movies without getting too tired, but his spin-off projects don't seem to have the same staying power. Ballerina could step out of the eponymous shadow, but considering The Continental, it could very easily get lost in The World of John Wick.
