‘From The World Of John Wick: Ballerina’ Review: Ana De Armas Gives Spinoff A Fighting Chance


In From the World of John Wick: Ballerina, Ana de Armas' performance is more than enough to elevate the film beyond the fray.

Ballerina ’s connection to (and tenuous tie-in with) John Wick necessitates an icky conclusion that this character and spinoff may not be distinctive enough (endless speculation about just how much Stahelski had to reshoot and whether or not that explains the extent of Reeves’ presence does not help). Macarro found her way here after witnessing her father get murdered by The Chancellor (Gabriel Byrne) and his menacing group of hooded figures with scars on their wrists in the shape of an “X.” Years later, she trains hard under Nogi (Sharon Duncan-Brewster), struggling a bit to find her footing.
