To be fair, yes, the movies look dazzling in 4K. Given their recent vintage, I assume very little work had to be done to present them in the best quality available in home video right now. They’re movies with muted, noir-ish color palettes, so there aren’t a lot of vibrant hues that will pop off the screen, but I don’t think I’m going out on a limb by assuming that the original theatrical experience has been well-preserved here. The ending sets up the fourth entry in the series, which will apparently set up a fifth (and final?) film. There are also some spin-offs in the works, including a TV series set at The Continental, which is essentially a High Table hotel chain in major cities. It’s where assassins can gather but are not allowed to try to kill each other; it’s kind of like “home base” when you played tag as a kid. In fact, the bottom step on the stairway out front is apparently a sanctuary too, as long as you have any part of your body touching it. The explosive action films starring Keanu Reeves will be available in a 4K UHD Best Buy exclusive SteelBook collection on February 28.

Personally, I hadn’t seen the films before now, and I came away feeling a bit underwhelmed by them. They’re well-made, of course, and boast a great cast that includes Keanu Reeves in the title role, Ian McShane, Halle Berry, Laurence Fishburne, Willem Dafoe, John Leguizamo, and Anjelica Huston.
