“Chapter 3” has no shortage of standout action sequences. From library fights to motorcycle combat to a fight in an antique weapons shop, the third installment is really not pulling any punches. One of the movie’s best sequences involves a team-up between Wick, Sofia Al-Azwar, and Sofia’s combat dogs. Who’s Sofia played by, you ask? Oh, just acclaimed actor and Academy Award winner Halle Berry.
As Sofia, Berry is clearly having an absolute blast alongside her four-pawed partners in crime; two Belgian Malinois shepherds basically walk off with the movie in their brief appearance. They’re adorable, and, considering the franchise kicked off with a dog’s death, righteously vengeful. In the role, Berry brings the right amount of believability and camera winking that a “John Wick” cameo demands. Plus, “Chapter 3” heavily insinuates the pair have a lot of overlap in their respective super-assassin career history.
