Watched Ballerina (2025), an action movie directed by Len Wiseman. The movie is set in the John Wick universe, between John Wick 3 & 4. The movie follows a ballerina-trained as an assassin trying to get revenge for her father’s murder. The movie is extremely fast paced. Very entertaining. The action scenes are amazing. The flamethrower scene is pretty cool. This is not as good as the John Wick series but still pretty entertaining. 7/10 #nodereviews

Caught up with my back log 😮💨
This sums up my assessment of it as well.
I'm glad she's not just replacing John as a female "John Wick."
She's got her own story and is clearly no match for him overall.
The whole universe has a very cartoonish feel. But even so, I find she’s less believable beating up guys twice her size. Very entertaining though
It does, but I think that's what makes it fun.
The cartoon feel yes I agree. It’s a positive. My point was even in a cartoonish universe her character makes less sense given John and others
Oh absolutely agreed. The "Action Movie Girl" that movies have been pushing for years I think started with Black Widow and has gotten more cartoonish from there.
I think it started with Kill Bill. Female cartoonish. But if there’s a director who can pull it off, it’s definitely Tarantino. Nothing wrong with an
female action movie lead. As long as it’s believable
Have her bring a gun to a knife fight. Or one that has genetics that can put on tons of muscle mass. Something
Can't remember if I did a review of this one. Was same same as Wick, making mental notes of that flamethrower action for reasons 😉🤫...
Very enjoyable kicking ass and taking names movie.
Yeah. It’s a good turn the brain off and enjoy the action
