The movie title might be awkward, but the action you'll see is more than solid. This is a very worthy entry into the John Wick universe and does a fine job in walking the tightrope of giving you what you want and expect from a "John Wick" film, while also tossing in just enough new stuff to make this a movie that can still stand on its own. There's not tons of new world- and mythos-building going on, but the fight scenes are numerous, well-crafted, and Ana de Armas fits right in as another great character addition to the universe. If you enjoyed her too-brief fight scenes in "Not Time to Die"—where she showed that she can do this type of action—then "Ballerina" takes that up a couple of levels. Come for the John Wick universe and stay for the great action movie.
