‘From the World of John Wick: Ballerina’ Review: Ana de Armas Fights ‘Like a Girl’ — That Is, Like Jane Wick — in an Entertaining Ultraviolent Spin-Off
It's a worthy entry in the "John Wick" canon, with a revenge plot that's pure trash and an actor who gamely picks up Keanu Reeves' mantel of mayhem.
Her trainer, Nogi (Sharon Duncan-Brewster), shoots her a gaze of fury and says, “Fight like a girl.” She means that men possess a brute strength that Eve can’t necessarily match; instead, she should evolve a combat style out of her feminine essence. She uses a pair of ice skates as nunchucks and, in the film’s climax, gets into the first duel I’ve ever seen fought with flame-throwers, one inferno-spouting monster gas cannon versus another. In the opening sequence, the young Eve (played by Victoria Comte) watches her father get slaughtered by fighters who’ve been dispatched by the Chancellor ( Gabriel Byrne), the leader of the dark warrior cult they all belong to.
