- RipLinesMan12 maggio 2025Event Horizon (1997) dragged you through a black hole into space hell, and Ballerina does the same, just swap the haunted ship for a grieving assassin in a tutu with a Glock, bro. This thing is cold, brutal, and poetic in the most "I-will-end-you-with-grace" kinda way. Ana de Armas fully snaps in this, she’s got the same dead-inside intensity Sam Neill had before he went full chaos mode, but she channels it into precise violence and silent rage instead of demon summoning. The choreography is insane, like if ballet school trained Navy SEALs, and the whole Ruska Roma revenge arc feels like *Event Horizon* if you replaced the gore with emotional scarring and bullet storms. The cast slaps, Keanu shows up like a myth, Lance Reddick and Ian McShane add weight, and Norman Reedus looks like he lives in a bunker behind The Continental. The world feels haunted, even without ghosts, just grief, gunfire, and really sharp knives. 4 stars, bro. It's less sci-fi hell trip, more elegant execution spree... but it still leaves your soul limping.
- EdmondZippo15 maggio 2026The fact that everything dies is no good for Hollywood, so they have to be like "this, but different" every once in a while. Ballerina is a perfectly inoffensive example of that. While being less compelling than the Wick films, it manages to deliver on the expected characteristics: looks sick, introduces crazy concepts that hold up well enough in the broader world. That's it. I truly did like the camera work, and the lenses that were obviously in love with Ana de Armas. Happy for her. Yeah, cool movie. Heard that it was shit. Turns out it wasn't. No trash season tag for you, Ballerina.
- ርልዪረ3 luglio 2025I was deeply skeptical about Ballerina. The John Wick franchise peaked with the all-time action classic John Wick : Chapter 4, only to tumble into mediocrity with the soulless Peacock spinoff The Continental. The marketing for Ballerina didn’t help either—Keanu Reeves appearing in what looked like a shoehorned cameo felt like a potential insult to Chapter 4’s poetic ending. But to my pleasant surprise, Ballerina proved every doubt wrong. It’s not only a good film—it’s a worthy, even essential, addition to the John Wick legacy. What makes Ballerina shine is its efficiency. The plot is consciously contained, never pretending to offer the biggest set pieces or most bombastic action. Its grandeur lies in restraint. Some may argue the story is barely more than a one-liner—but that’s fine when it’s painted on such an elegant canvas. Instead of chasing “bigger,” the film chooses “better,” making full use of its limited arsenal with precision and purpose. The film also plays cleverly with audience expectations. One standout moment is a long, intense oner where the protagonist escapes a brutal fight, gets into her car, and drives into the horizon. The drone camera pulls back into a gorgeous wide shot—we expect a cut, a breather. But then, it swerves right back down as another car slams into hers, launching a second fight that loops us back to the scene’s origin. It’s one of many instances where Ballerina expertly subverts traditional action film rhythms. Another triumph is its use of Chekhov’s gun—every object, every corner of every set, every weapon, is used to full effect. Nothing is wasted. Even props become weapons. Every plausible combination of action with a flamethrower, for instance, is executed with flair. The stunt work is masterful, living up to the franchise’s lofty standards. When the Academy finally creates a “Best Stunts” category, this series deserves an honorary award for its legacy. Equally impressive is the visual—or rather, physical—storytelling. The John Wick films have never relied on verbose exposition, and Ballerina continues that tradition. Characters are built and broken through movement. Entire arcs unfold through aggression. There's even room for well-executed situational comedy, something Chapter 4 also balanced with finesse. Performance-wise, everyone delivers. Ana de Armas is phenomenal, as expected. Keanu’s role is far from mere nostalgia bait—his presence is vital to the narrative and thankfully well-integrated. I would’ve loved to see more of Norman Reedus, but in his limited screen time, he makes every moment count. Overall, Ballerina is a surprising and satisfying entry into the franchise. It doesn’t diminish what came before—it elevates it. It justifies its existence so well that I’d rather live in a world where this story is told than one where it isn’t. You can never have too much John Wick in your life.
- Jay Marie Bailey9 maggio 2026For me this was trying to copy the John Wick formula (including the same timing with jokes) with a female protagonist, I don't feel it quite made the mark only because of what it is competing with. Ana plays the character Eve well, CGI is what you come to expect from the franchise, interesting fight scene using flame throwers not seen anything like that before. Overall it may of brought in a few viewers to the franchise given the female lead but a whole town/village of assassins feels a bit to far out there even for John Wick lol
- Austin Burke13 giugno 2025It doesn’t just earn its place in the John Wick universe… it explodes onto the scene like a perfectly timed grenade, expanding Wick’s world beautifully. Ana de Armas mows down nameless faces with jaw-dropping gun-fu and grenade-fueled chaos that’ll leave your pulse racing. A few story-related elements fall short, but John Wick’s cameo never overshadows our central heroine, whose classic revenge quest carries the right amount of intensity. This is the spin-off we didn’t know we needed, and I’d love to see more.
- Kristian Odland30 luglio 2025In a world of unnecessary sequels and spinoffs this movie proves to be a rare AND welcome addition to the well-established and preeminent John Wick franchise. There might be a paper thin plot and run-of-the-mill character dialogue, but the action sequences in this movie are an absolute GIFT from the action movie gods! UNBELIEVABLE STUFF! There are so many memorable fights and shootouts, but the real MVP in this movie is the astonishing flamethrower duel. There never has, nor will there ever be anything like it. Now, if you’ll excuse me, I’m gonna pick my jaw up off the floor and go watch this again!
