Chad Stahelski

The Profile

American film director and former stuntman, best known for directing entries in the John Wick series.

Former stunt performer and stunt coordinator who transitioned to directing; associated primarily with action choreography and the John Wick films.

The review reads John Wick 3 as an intentionally excessive, self-ironic action spectacle that privileges aesthetics and stunt work over plot. It praises daring set-pieces and stylized violence while calling the narrative skeletal. Keanu Reeves is described as perfectly cast for the role that amplifies his star persona.
