The songstress is killer—literally—in the latest “John Wick” film, her first big acting role. But should this Hollywood side gig become Sawayama’s main hustle?
do all the work in cleaning up the assassins of the High Table. Men do nothing but cause drama.
Alas, when push comes to shove, Akira is ready to fight back. She and John fight alongside the Osaka Continental security —Akira is reluctant, but that doesn’t mean she’s going to hold back on flaunting any of her sword-wielding prowess. There’s a reason her hair is slicked back into a sleek low ’do: to keep any loose tendrils out of her face, while spearing menacing big guys in the neck.
By far, Sawayama’s best scene in the movie involves Akira knotting her entire body around one of the killers, looping her tiny arms and legs around this big lug of a man. Have you ever seen a human pretzel? Well, I hadn’t before I watched. And though there’s no one to compare her to, I’d say Sawayama is the best human pretzel ever. She laces her legs around the killer’s arms, their neck, squeezing them with her small arms and stabbing them all over.
Then, because stairs are an incredibly important part of this movie—we see one of John’s biggest battles ever on a staircase later on—Akira has to take the scuffle upward when the High Table man starts to run away, up a large staircase. Instead of allowing him to get away, Akira chases him up the stairs, latching herself onto his back while jabbing him over and over andagain, in the legs, in the back, in the groin, in the neck.
