Ballerina 2025 Movie Review
I am a big fan of John Wick, i have watched all the movies, the mini series (yes there is a mini series out there) so i had to watch this one. The director behind the movie was the producer of the Underworld movies and the writers were the same who did the other John Wick movies, so in general it had to be good!
Plot
In general, every John Wick movie has a pretty straightforward plot as it is primarily focused on action, so the same rule applies here. We get to see young Eve, who is around 5 years old, living with her dad somewhere remote, get attacked by some weird cult or something.
Her dad manages to fend off most of them but he eventually dies saving her from their hands. Winston takes her to the Ruska Roma, where the Director takes her in. There she learns all the relevant assassination skills needed and later on starts taking requests to protect people or to kill.
In one mission, she gets to fight and kill a guy with the same mark that the people who killed her father had, so she decides to seek and kill them. Turns out this is a cult that nobody knows where they are actually located, as nobody has ever lived to share the story!
Good & Bad
Starting with the good, the actors are great, Ana de Armas does a pretty good job and to my surprise we saw John Wick having screen time instead of a cameo that i thought i would see. As in every John Wick movie the fight scenes were amazing, tons of action scenes and use of tools. The scenery was amazing as well. A spotless job regarding that aspect.
The only let's say bad thing is that Eve is like The Thing or something in terms of damage taken. She was like fighting with tons of trained guys and girls, while she had some minor injuries. She even got hit in the head and belly with a kick by a pro and got up like nothing happened. Even John in his movies got his ass kicked multiple times and we've seen him barely moving while Eve was like nothing happened a while ago. Pain tolerance max :P.
Overall, it was a good movie and we could easily see a second one. I would say an easy 7.5/10.
