Moviegoers are saying
Ballerina delivers 'absolute cinema' with Ana de Armas commanding the John Wick universe through 80 minutes of uncut, innovative action sequences featuring flamethrower duels and grenade ballet. While audiences are mesmerized by de Armas' lethal charisma and the film's audacious third act, many note the threadbare plot serves mainly as an excuse for spectacular violence.

One imagines screenwriter Shay Hatten (Rebel Moon) spinning a big Wheel of Weapons that would land on “hand grenades” or “flame-thrower” or “dishware,” leading him to craft novel ways for de Armas to implement these deadly items. The fight scenes are all Ballerina has going for it, but they’re frequent, varied, and clever enough to make watching the film a worthy summer pastime.

Exploiting a mere sliver of story from John Wick: Chapter 3 – Parabellum, Ballerina concocts an especially dull origin story for an ancillary piece of Wickian lore.

A cluttered mess with a boring storyline but the action is often amazing, and there’s a genuine sense of humor to all its weird duels to the death. That’s something that’s been absent from the self-serious John Wick movies for far too long — an acknowledgement of their own wackiness.
