Verdict on Ballerina
Recap
In the heart of this tale, I find myself identified with Eve, a character embarking on a quest for vengeance against the one who took my father’s life. Trained to be an unstoppable assassin, I possess abilities that could bring down any foe. Yet, this path leads me to defy the teachings I held dear.
Best Parts
The action in this installment remains consistently intense and unforgiving, a characteristic the series is recognized for. The action scenes are exceptional, with the flamethrower battle being particularly impressive. Additionally, the acting is commendable, with Ana de Armas delivering a stellar performance as the main character.
Worst Parts
The main plot appears somewhat conventional and seems to be a lesser part of a larger storyline. On the other hand, it gives off an impression that John Wick has been included merely to suggest that we’re in his world, rather than having a significant role within the narrative.
Final Thoughts –Ballerina is a big action packed movie.
