Seconded. When you actually watch her fight, most of what she does is by being faster than everyone else instead of just overpowering them. And just to show that she isnt some extremely strong person, there is that guy that it takes her a good several minutes and dozens of stabs to kill. And in the same time, John has already killed dozens.
If I could reconcile these factors, I could consider him a decent character.
The way I took it, was that since he is more or less working semi-officially for The Marque, that the High Table just kind of wrote it all off as "Marque is the one putting his neck on the line with this strange assassin." I do foresee him being more prominent in the inevitable John Wick 5 they have already confirmed they are working on.
THE FUCKING BULLETPROOF BUSINESS SUITS.
It is probably the only thing I actually disliked in the whole movie. I was fine with them in the last few movies where it was shown to provide limited protection, but it still came down to skill and not getting hit to actually avoid damage.
Now the damn things can be used as actual shields, they can apparently stand up to extremely high caliber damage like shotguns fired from short range, and apparently even let you survive falling from buildings or getting hit by cars.
Damn, I hate it.
Still, overall I enjoyed the movie and would recommend to anyone who has enjoyed the series thus far.
Actually, there was one other thing I didn't like- the not one, but TWO crowded public scenarios where all this killing shit was happening but everything just continues like normal. I mean sure, the fights were great, but the fact that no one ever takes notice of this shit happening just goes too far when it comes to "not taking it too seriously."

I'd ignore it at 2AM too. I just wanna go home not get interviewed by the police for the next four hours.
Eh, its not the first time that has happened. So I am a bit more willing to look the other way on that one.
