Where to Watch Pretty Lethal
- AjayAugust 2, 2026Pretty Lethal goes for an action-vibe similar to John Wick, but it really doesn't get there. Yeah, there are some good action sequences, and the combination of ballet dancing with brutal violence is top-notch - but, the characters are incredibly shallow, and the plot isn't just predictable, it's less dense than an high-level summary from ChatGPT. The fight choreography is good and Ziegler definitely pulls a lot of the weight, but even the legendary Uma Thurman's appearance isn't able to pull this movie into a good place.
- Zai hiddenleafMarch 29, 2026John wick and black swan and the ballerina had a fun night
- A. ConstantinMarch 26, 2026Such a silly movie, but I loved it :-D
- jorgeg96July 27, 2026Well... Could be worst 😂
- CarbonDJJuly 13, 2026Surpisingly enjoyable. All of cliche things you would expect, but a surprisingly fun and easy watch.
- rg9400July 7, 2026Pretty Lethal is excellent at some things and absolutely terrible at others. It has some incredibly stylish action sequences with some excellent choreography. The way it blends ballet seamlessly with the fights is really fantastic, and the result is some really cool imagery. I also thought the lighting was pretty good, lending to the stylized cinematography. The problem is that all the effort of the filmmakers went towards the action, and not towards the script. The script is bad. Bad is an understatement. It is absolutely atrocious. There are multiple moments in this movie that completely defy belief. Not in the sense of film logic or just being annoyed at characters doing dumb things. As in, I cannot believe the filmmakers expect me to believe that this could be actual reality. An example is a character manages to get caught sneaking around and gets out of it by saying she was having trouble with the Wi-Fi. Sheer stupidity. It's a shame because you don't need to have the deepest plot or characters for a movie like this -- there are plenty of examples like Ready or Not that aren't exactly renowned for their story. The problem is that when there are moments like this, it completely takes you out of the movie and makes it so cringey until the next action sequence rolls around. I also think the girls don't have the type of gravitas to fully carry this movie. Maddie Ziegler as Bones is actually decent, but the rest range from okay (Lana Condor) to annoying (Avintika). I want to be able to recommend this movie because there are certain scenes that are legitimately very good, but I can't because the rest of the movie is a pain to get through.
- Josh CJune 16, 2026I was excited to watch this movie since seeing the trailer and it didn't disappoint. The premise was interesting with having 5 ballerinas basically being held captive; it had awesome fight sequences, just enough gore, some dancing, a bit of humor, Uma Thurman and most importantly, it didn't take itself too seriously. I would have done the ending slightly differently, but it was a great and entertaining watch!
- susan.603June 13, 2026I feel sorry for Russian bad guys when contending with American ballerinas. .Fight sequences in most movies are choregraphed dance but in this movie its like a ballet. Lots of fun this one.
- Joseph GarlowMay 28, 2026Decent enough to watch once, some decent gore but the movie just doesn't grab you. It's very predictable and I get that it's hard to shock people now a days but when you don't try it shows. The actors in the movie are good, they can pull off some comedy, and also very good with the action. I wish this movie grabbed me more but it just didn't. Watch for sure but I think once you do you will not need to see it again.
- JCMay 17, 2026Ridiculous enough to be entertaining. Self-aware enough not to take itself too seriously.
- McCarty1313May 10, 2026This movie is digital blood pirouettes. Not bad just not very reachable. 6 toe blades out of 10
- macaronzMay 6, 2026Just watched Pretty Lethal and it was such a fun, goofy experience! It’s intentionally silly and had me laughing the whole way through. The standout moment for me was definitely the fight scene where the ballerinas use their dance moves to take down enemies. That final line, "I am a Baller-fkn-Rina," was absolutely lit. If you're in the mood for something fun and ridiculous, this is definitely worth a try!
- Oʂɯαʅԃσ RσყҽƚƚMarch 26, 2026John Wick meets Black Swan Pretty Lethal is a "cheap and cheerful" Friday night adventure that succeeds more as a stylistic exercise than a deep character study. It’s a fun, fresh, and violent romp that benefits immensely from its unique choreography and Thurman’s scenery-chewing performance. While the plot is thin and the pacing uneven, it’s a solid choice for fans of the "girls with guns" subgenre who are looking for something with a bit more grace.
