Ballerina, the latest installment in the ever-expanding john Wick universe, sets itself apart as a spin-off that dives deeper into the shadowy world of assassins. Starring Ana de Armas in the lead role, the film explores the journey of a young assassin on a relentless mission for revenge. 

Taking place between john Wick: Chapter 3 – Parabellum and john Wick: Chapter 4, the film cleverly bridges narrative gaps while expanding the mythos of the franchise. With returning appearances by Keanu Reeves and other familiar faces, Ballerina maintains continuity with the main series, offering fans both nostalgia and new perspectives.

Critics and early viewers have praised the film’s action sequences, which stay true to the franchise’s signature style—visceral, kinetic, and stylishly choreographed. Ana de Armas brings a fierce and emotional depth to the role, showcasing both physical prowess and vulnerability.

While the action choreography matches, and occasionally rivals, the high standards set by earlier john Wick entries, Ballerina introduces its own visual flair and tone, distinguishing it from its predecessors without losing touch with the franchise's essence. The set pieces are varied and inventive, with a sense of raw urgency that elevates each encounter.

However, viewers hoping for a tightly constructed script or richly layered storytelling might find themselves underwhelmed. The narrative takes a backseat to spectacle, relying on familiar revenge tropes without offering significant innovation in terms of plot or character development.
 

Yet, this may not detract much for die-hard fans, who come for the adrenaline-fueled pacing and expertly executed combat. In this respect, Ballerina delivers exactly what it promises: a thrilling, high-stakes action film that adds depth to the john Wick universe while firmly establishing Ana de Armas as a compelling lead in this deadly ballet of bullets and blood.
