'Ballerina' is a spin-off of the John Wick franchise featuring Ana de Armas as Eve Macarro, a dancer seeking revenge after her father's murder. The film leans on its established dark world-building and action choreography but suffers from a lack of strong character development, relying on colorful supporting roles to enhance the narrative. Eve's journey through the assassin training of the Ruska Roma and mentorship from figures like Anjelica Huston's character adds elements of intrigue, though the script limits de Armas's ability to shine beyond the stunts.
Ana de Armas as Eve Macarro in 'Ballerina' demonstrates remarkable physical skill in action sequences, though her dialogue is limited by a functional script.
While 'Ballerina' expands the John Wick universe, the character of Eve Macarro is less nuanced than expected, overshadowed by her colorful supporting cast.
In 'Ballerina', Eve Macarro's journey for revenge against a cult leader presents a familiar yet engaging narrative rooted in the established John Wick mythology.
The film balances dazzling action choreography with a critique of its extreme violence, embodying the dichotomy of being both magnificent and troubling.
