characters thrown into the mix this time. The High Table's chief baddie is the Marquis Vincent Bisset de Gramont (Bill Skarsgård, proving he's also managed to at least briefly reintroduce The Bowery King (Laurence Fishburne), who in fact is the "culprit" with the match, leading to a bit), so forewarned is forearmed, but for those willing to take a deep breath and go for the gusto, this is the rare fourth film in a franchise that engagement of surround channels, and then when things suddenly segue to the desert, the ambient environmental sounds once again grow.

As is reliance on purples and teals and a noticeable push toward blues and yellows. I almost jokingly thought maybe director Chad Stahelski had beensmart "meta" issues. That includes things like an absolutely delightful "riff" on one of the most legendary edits in the history of film, the epic cut feel like close to three hours, though that said, I can certainly understand some feeling like this film could have been judiciously edited by at least a half the more than slightly byzantine environment of The High Table.
