A user wrote, 'Whenever life throws you into an abyss with an unaccomplished goal, you tend to assist someone with a similar issue in life so that you can witness them get what you're denied. #BallerinaMovie explores this 'Circle of Life" with great passion and engages us with solid action sequences. #AnaDeArmas is good and witnessing #JohnWick again makes it worthwhile. Action lovers will be thrilled, yet emotional connect is pretty low. A decent addition to spin-off Wick-verse."

'#Ballerina delivers a sleek, high-octane spin‑off in the John Wick universe. Ana de Armas dazzles in electrifying action, though the plot feels thin and Keanu Reeves' cameo divides fans. Stylish violence and stunt work shine, but emotional depth is lacking," read another review.
