🩰🔫From the mind-melting, gun-fu drenched universe of John Wick comes Ballerina — a spin-off so committed to style over substance, it practically pirouettes past logic in a hail of bullets and broken drywall. Think John Wick, but with pointe shoes and even fewer reasons to care who’s dying or why.
💃 Grace, Guns & Gravity-Defying Absurdity
So here’s the score: Ana de Armas plays Eve, a ballerina-slash-assassin (because of course she is) on a revenge rampage after her father gets whacked. Set between John Wick: Chapter 3 and Chapter 4, the film aims for stylized carnage, but lands somewhere between interpretive dance and demolition derby.
Characters are thrown through every object in the known universe — tables, windows, frozen rivers, time, space — and still get up like they just finished yoga. The violence isn’t just relentless, it’s operatic, like someone choreographed a Cirque du Soleil show inside a military-grade blender.
And the plot? Oh sweet summer child. It’s “They killed my dad” followed by 90 minutes of high-heeled vengeance. If you came for emotional nuance or coherent storytelling, Ballerina will happily roundhouse kick those expectations into a snowbank.
Yet somehow, somehow, it’s fun. Stylish? Absolutely. Entertaining? If you like watching people get curb-stomped with grace and a slight pirouette, you’ll love it. Just don’t ask why anything is happening. Or how Eve survives a grenade blast with only a fashionable smear of mascara.
