Ballerina, directed by Len Wiseman and starring Ana de Armas, expands the John Wick universe with a vengeance-driven storyline. The film follows Ana’s character, who witnesses her father's murder as a child and is later trained in a secret facility in Rome under Winston’s protection. Years later, a mission uncovers a clue linking her father’s killer, prompting her intense quest for revenge.

Ana steals the show with her powerful performance, matching the intensity of any male action star. The action sequences are creatively choreographed, going beyond just guns and knives, including a fiery water-based climax that stands out. A standout moment includes an off-screen fight scene where her impact is shown without actually displaying the blows.

The movie connects smoothly with the John Wick storyline, featuring interactions with Winston and even John Wick himself during the climax. However, it stretches logic at times — like an entire town attacking Ana as she seeks revenge — making some scenes feel over-the-top.

Visually, the film is stunning, especially the night-time city shots and dynamic cinematography. While emotional depth could’ve been stronger, Ballerina delivers a thrilling action feast for fans of the John Wick world — if you're willing to ignore logic and embrace the chaos.
