Despite still finding the runtime excessive, "Parabellum" at least maintains a brisker pace compared to the second film, with a better alternation of overchoreographed action sequences and pointless plot moments. The characters of the High Table are becoming increasingly cartoony, yet, given the overall atmosphere of the production, I wouldn't consider this a flaw.
The only true issue lies in the chunk dedicated to the katana-wielding sushi guys, both due to the poorly executed comedic bits and the lack of charisma in their leader. Particularly, I found the last two final battles to be somewhat lackluster and repetitive, in contrast to the tight sequences in other phases of the film.
