Little Dancing, Lots of Fighting: “Ballerina (From the World of John Wick)” – Review
“Ballerina (From the World of John Wick)” is a good action film in its stunts, creative fight scenes, and basic premise. However, the film quickly takes off to unbelievable heights, making it hard to stay invested. Eve’s story feels like the “John Wick” trilogy (it takes place before “4”) of compressed into one film. The action is a couple notches too high and the characters are a couple notches too low.
