John Wick: Chapter 4

John Wick’s final battle sees him fighting against impossible odds, as Paris turns into a battleground filled with assassins summoned by the Marquis to prevent Wick from reaching the duel site. Despite this chaos, John, with the help of Caine, manages to arrive at Sacre Coeur just in time for his showdown with the Marquis. The duel itself is brutal and tense, with both men managing to wound each other in the opening rounds. As the fight progresses, Caine is forced to shoot John, leaving him wounded on the ground, and the Marquis believes he has won, approaching to deliver the final blow. However, John cleverly uses the rules to his advantage, secretly holding onto his last bullet. When the Marquis steps in to finish him off, John fires back, killing the Marquis and securing his freedom.

With the duel over, Winston and Caine prepare to help John leave, and the film suggests he might be near death from his wounds as he collapses on the stairs, whispering his wife’s name before finally succumbing. The movie ends on this tragic note, emphasizing that John’s life was a ceaseless cycle of violence and despair, where true peace remained elusive. His death appears to be the only escape from his cursed existence, although it’s left ambiguous whether he truly died or chose to disappear into seclusion, hinting that he might still be alive in hiding. The closing scene hints at this uncertainty with a glance at his dog and a final shot of Caine’s potentially vengeful daughter, leaving the ending open to interpretation. Ultimately, John’s story concludes with the suggestion that he finally found peace in death, even if that peace is shrouded in ambiguity.
