Ballerina Review — The action-packed world of John Wick expands in bold new ways with Ballerina, a thrilling spinoff led by Ana de Armas as Eve Macarro. From elegant pirouettes to brutal takedowns, this film follows Eve, a ballerina-turned-assassin, on a vengeful mission that brings fresh energy and emotional depth to the Wick franchise.
A New Kind of Assassin
Set between John Wick: Chapter 3 – Parabellum and Chapter 4, Ballerina tells the story of Eve, who dives headfirst into the underworld in search of revenge for her father’s death. Unlike John Wick, who tried to leave his past behind, Eve chooses this dangerous life. Director Len Wiseman explains it best: “Wick is trying to get out of his life as an assassin; Eve is wanting in — she wants to be a killer.”
Ballerina Review: What Fans Are Saying
Early reactions on X (formerly Twitter) are pouring in, and the vibe is largely positive. Fans are calling it a thrilling ride with hard-hitting action and a standout performance by Ana de Armas.
One reviewer summed it up with excitement:
“I had a blast with #BallerinaMovie. It’s got all the fast-paced shootouts and brutal fights we love from the Wick series. Ana de Armas isn’t invincible — she takes the hits and gives them back. The flamethrower scene? Pure fire.”
Another praised the filmmakers for letting Eve be her own character:
“Thankfully, they didn’t turn Eve into a female version of John Wick. She’s her own kind of killer. Ana brings a fierce, unique energy to the role.”
More Than Just Action
While the action is front and center, fans are also impressed by the film’s style and emotional intensity. One comment read:
“BALLERINA is a visual thrill. Vibrant, intense, and full of revenge — Ana de Armas steals every scene.”
Another added:
“It starts a bit slow but ends with a bang. Balances gritty fights and over-the-top fun. Perfect for summer movie season!”
Even skeptics are walking out impressed:
“I didn’t expect to enjoy it, but I left buzzing. Ana de Armas holds her own and delivers some franchise-best action. Give it a chance!”
A Stylish, Blood-Soaked Spin-Off
In the end, Ballerina doesn’t try to change the John Wick formula — it just spins it in a new direction. With fierce action, emotional weight, and a killer lead, Ana de Armas has created her own unforgettable moment in the Wick world.
