The series, which is being promoted as a three-night event that begins Friday on Peacock, is a prequel to the movies starring Keanu Reeves and centers on Winston Scott, the character played by Ian McShane in the films.
Lance Reddick was, at heart, the definition of a supporting actor, strengthening whatever show or movie he was in, including “John Wick,” “The Wire” and “Lost.”That the hotel is the fruit of “an organization that predates the Roman Empire” leaves plenty of room for prequels.
Set in 1970s garbage-strike, garbage-strewn Lower Manhattan, with some flashbacks to the Bronx in the ‘50s and brief sequences in London and Vietnam, it involves highly successful con man Winston Scott , who is kidnapped to the Continental on the order of its manager, Cormac .
“Yeah, I’m wearin’ a diaper,” says Cormac, which Gibson, in search of a Bronx accent, pronounces “diyapah.” “You know they oughta calls this place the Incontinental.” Their previous association is only one of many familial or coincidental connections between characters that support a plot that is more or less beside the point, being fundamentally an armature on which to hang a few hours of action.
You know whether you like this sort of thing — and I am guessing that if you do — you will like this particular interaction just fine. It looks good; the production design, which has some fun with New York at the height of its graffiti-festooned decay, is admirable; the action is well staged in a way that does not seem completely impossible.
