“From the World of John Wick: Ballerina” was one of the best movies to be produced in the John Wick Franchise. This movie had everything from highly action-packed fight scenes to scenes where you can feel every emotion pouring out of the characters.
Actor Ana de Armas, plays a girl named Eve whose father was killed by an assassin group when she was young. She was taken by a separate assassin group and became a trained killer. She took these skills she learned and went rogue in search of the people who killed her father, played by David Castañeda. Armas captured the role of a heart broken daughter seeking vengeance perfectly.
The director, Len Wiseman truly did a phenomenal job in creating this movie in every aspect from the lighting, sound effects, music, camera angles, and even the actors themselves. When comparing this production to other movies Wiseman has directed like ‘Underworld’ and ‘Total Recall’ , this is truly one of his best.
Having a female lead instead of a male in this kind of movie is every bit empowering. John Wick movies have always been good, and although this one had its doubts as a spin off, this one was a hit.
The main aspect of this movie that really pulled it together was the fighting scenes. This movie was filled with highly intense fight scenes.
These scenes consisted of brutal violence, but in the sense it is a John Wick movie, that isn’t out of the ordinary. But the angles that were being used really captured the whole scene, it felt as if you were in each and every scene.
Even though this movie was a spin off from ‘John Wick: Chapter 4’ it was disappointing that Keanu Reeves (John Wick) only had ten minutes of screen time, maybe even less. The movie is already great but it would have made it 100 times better if Reeves had more screen time.
Another thing that made this movie really great was the script. Shay Hatten, the script writer for ‘Ballerina’ made sure that each line was carefully thought out. Nothing that was said by the characters seemed unnecessary.
Overall, “From the World of John Wick: Ballerina” exceeded expectations. This movie definitely is in the top 10 best spin off’s in cinematic history.
