From the World of John Wick: Ballerina, directed by Len Wiseman and starring Ana de Armas as Eve, Keanu Reeves as John Wick, and Norman Reedus as Daniel Pine, follows a young girl brought into the world of the High Table as she hunts for the people responsible for her father’s death.
A riveting storyline, compelling action, and fight scenes; Ballerina takes place between the previous films John Wick 3 and 4. The director does a great job of simultaneously interweaving the stories of Eve and John Wick.
The writing offers a detailed examination of the John Wick universe from a completely different perspective. We get to see deeper into the world how the mark impacts their lives, as well as how living an everyday life is out of the question.
Overall, Ballerina was fire in every sense of the word. Armes presented an awe-inspiring presence on screen. The thoughtfulness and sheer nature of her personality were magical. Her fighting style created an energy of fluidity and precision, while the supporting cast held the story together.
The special effects were remarkably realistic, while the score delivered a tone befitting the John Wick universe.
It was terrific to see Keanu grace the silver screen in the role of Legendary John Wick. Norman Reedus presented an impactful role that delivered a great addition to the cast.
This film is must-see. I gave this movie 5 stars.
