Ballerina is a dance-by-numbers return to the world of John Wick
Lionsgate was always going to need to take the John Wick franchise in a new direction if it wanted to keep the film series going after the inevitable exit of its central star. A spinoff series came and went with a telling lack of fanfare that spoke, in part, to how John Wick stories feel like they were meant to be experienced in movie theaters. And while the studio has a second tie-in show in the works, it seems like another project that might wind up being a sign that John Wick works best on the silver screen. On paper, director Len Wiseman's awkwardly named From the World of John Wick: Ballerina feature sounds like the sort of straightforward parallel prequel that could work as the beginning of a new chapter for the larger franchise. There's a simplicity to the story and a comedic whimsy to (some of) its action that feels true to the John Wick brand. And there are enough returning faces from the older films that it works fairly well as a crash course introduction to this gore-filled world of assassins. But in practice, Ballerina lacks a lot of the near-camp flair that made previous John Wick films fun, and most of its set pieces feel uninspired. Rather than using its story to show you how an ordinary person learns the ins and outs of the assassin lifestyle, Ballerina spends most of its runtime riffing on narrative beats from other action films. That might have worked if the movie's leading actor delivered a compelling performance that sold her character as the series' rightful heir. But Ana de Armas' acting — especially compared to that of her co-stars — falls too flat for its own good. Set between the events of John Wick: Chapter 3 – Parabellum and John Wick: Chapter 4, Ballerina chronicles the rise of Eve Macarro (Ana de Armas) as she becomes one of the world's most-wanted hired killers. As an orphan raised within the Ruska Roma, Eve knows that she's destined to follow in the bloody footsteps of her adoptive mother, the Director (Anjelica Huston). But part of her still yearns to leave her violent life behind to pursue a career as a ballerina. It's a dream that Eve's father (David Castañeda) encouraged her to hold onto during her childhood while he worked to keep their small family safe and far away from another clan of deadly assassins. But after being forced to watch his murder at the hands of the Chancellor (Gabriel Byrne) as a child, Eve locks that part of herself away in order to focus on revenge. As one of the Ruska Roma's strongest young students, it doesn't take much for Eve to convince the Director to let her start going on assignments to take out and / or protect high-profile targets. But when one of her missions brings her face-to-face with a member of the Chancellor's clan, she breaks protocol and starts hunting more of them down, knowing full well that her adoptive family will take swift action to stop her before she sets off a war. Compared to past John Wick films, there's a roughness to Ballerina 's choreographed fights that's meant to highlight how relatively new Eve is to operating in the field and how, because of her small stature, she has to be creative in her approach to taking on larger opponents. While Eve finds herself in plenty of shoot-outs, the film often leaves her with nothing but her wits and whatever mundane objects (rather than weapons) happen to be laying around. It's an idea that works well enough throughout Ballerina 's first act, when we're first shown her signature move of using her bodyweight to snap people's necks and arms. Though Ballerina 's script cribs some story beats from Kill Bill and Marvel's Black Widow, the film's action is classic John Wick in the way its brawls emphasize the artistry of stunt fighting. But as the film progresses, it quickly becomes clear that Eve doesn't have many other tricks up her sleeve, and the few that she does have tend to feel like steps de Armas is counting her way through. Acting has never really been the big draw for John Wick movies, but there's an emotionally wooden quality to de Armas' performance that makes Eve hard to buy as a complex, conflicted character. This is especially apparent in scenes between Eve and Ballerina 's other returning characters from John Wick 's past like New York Continental owner Winston Scott (Ian McShane) and hotel concierge Charon (the late Lance Reddick in his final on-screen performance). Where Ballerina does work well is in moments where it embraces the cartoon energy that's always been present in the John Wick franchise and served to offset the visceral brutality of its brawls. It's tough watching Eve slash people's faces to shreds with ice skates on her hands, but it's wildly fun watching her use a fire hose to square off with someone wielding a flamethrower. De Armas' awkwardness actually feels like more of a feature than a bug in scenes that double down on the idea that Eve is learning on the job and still getting used to the ridiculousness of being an assassin in this heightened reality. But Ballerina insists on returning to a serious tone that does no favors for its lead actor. It's easy to imagine Ballerina really shining with a little bit more live-action cartoon energy and a narrative that actually felt like a journey through the world of John Wick. But for that kind of a good time, we're going to have to wait for whatever the franchise has next.

‘Ballerina' Review: Ana de Armas Kills Her Way Through a Solid Continuation of the John Wick Franchise
A serviceable addition to that most storied of sub-genres (action films about ballerina-assassins), Len Wiseman's 'Ballerina' is a movie that was ostensibly made to address a specific question that's been haunting the good people at Lionsgate since at least March of 2023: Can the 'John Wick' franchise survive without Keanu Reeves? In that light, perhaps the most encouraging thing I can say about the series' first proper spin-off is that it manages to answer that question — with an emphatic 'probably?' — despite searching for every excuse not to ask it in the first place. On the one hand, Keanu Reeves is very much in this movie, which is set in between the events of 'John Wick: Chapter 3 — Parabellum' and 'John Wick: Chapter 4.' On the other hand, the actor's ornamental presence here emphasizes the extent to which his character had been subsumed into the ridiculously elaborate — and elaborately ridiculous — criminal underworld that he shot his way through; each of Wick's mass-murdering efforts to bring it down made it all the more obvious that the 'The High Table' is what ultimately keeps this franchise propped up. More from IndieWire 'Search Party' and 'Never Rarely Sometimes Always' Location Scout Makes Directorial Debut with Meta Indie 'The Scout' - Watch First Look Julianne Moore Talks About Being Drawn Into the 'Stakes' of 'Echo Valley' - and Expresses a Desire to Work with Wes Anderson With that in mind, perhaps the more pressing question that 'Ballerina' exists to put forward is this: Can the world of John Wick survive without series director Chad Stahelski? And… well, the movie doesn't really answer that either. In part, that's because Stahelski played a pivotal role in shaping the film's action sequences on set, even if rumors about the extent of his reshoots — and the deficiencies that supposedly demanded them — have been exaggerated. In the event those rumors have been exaggerated, then 'Ballerina' would prove that Stahelski's imprint on the franchise is strong enough that even a less skilled filmmaker like 'Live Free or Die Hard' director Wiseman is able to replicate it well enough to keep the franchise's spirit alive. And if nothing else, Wiseman certainly does that. 'Ballerina' might struggle to stay balanced on its toes as it strains to expand its pre-established universe at the same time as it introduces a new heroine to guide us through it, but all of the things that audiences have come to expect from the franchise are on full display in this spinoff. A million headshots at point-blank range? Check. Keanu Reeves putting both of his lungs into every one of his lines? Of course. Wacky subtitles that make the mere act of reading feel like it's freighted with cartoon violence? You know it. While there are several aspects of 'Ballerina' that feel a lot shakier than anything did in the series' previous films (most of them having to do with the introduction and motivation of Ana de Armas' en pointe assassin), 'Ballerina' stands tall where it counts. That's not only because Shay Hatten's Black List script has been successfully retrofitted to feel like it belongs to the world of John Wick, or because the watered down fight scenes of the movie's first half eventually give way to some of the franchise's most inspired carnage so far, but also because the best of that carnage — all of it rooted in 87 Eleven Entertainment's signature blend of close-up gun-fu — bends over backwards to accommodate a 5'6' actress who weighs less than Keanu Reeves' paycheck. The only survivor of a dull prologue that sees her adoptive father massacred by a shadowy figure named the Chancellor (an imperious Gabriel Byrne), young Eve Macarro is rescued from the ashes by New York hotelier Winston Scott (McShane), and delivered into the care of Anjelica Huston's cigar-chomping Director, who runs a ballet studio so hardcore that it makes 'Black Swan' look like 'Bunheads.' In addition to pliés and pirouettes, Eve is trained in the art of shooting people in the face, and by the time the action picks up 11 years into her studies, she's itching to graduate from the Ruska Roma conservatory and get out into the field. After all, she's never going to find the men who killed her dad if she just stays inside doing montages all day. What's interesting about Eve, at least in theory, is that she's determined to be accepted into the same criminal underworld that John Wick is hellbent to escape, and 'Ballerina' does its best to make the most of that friction in the rare instances when those two characters happen to cross paths. Alas, that only accounts for a few minutes of the movie's runtime, and de Armas — deprived the immediacy of the grief that fueled Reeves' performance in the franchise's humble first installment — isn't given a strong enough foundation to meaningfully support her need for revenge. She's anxious and unsure where John Wick is Zen-like and resigned, but her lines have no heft, her character has no humor, and her bloodlust has no believable emotionality behind it. That proves to be a problem for the worldbuilding around her; where John Wick's mission made him a natural tour guide through the underworld, Eve Maccaro can't help but feel like more of a tourist by comparison, and so we glimpse at the inner workings of the Rusko Roma without really getting a meaningful sense of place. The good news is that 'Ballerina' has another place it wants to show us, and that place turns out to be a wonderful addition to this franchise's ever-swelling cinematic universe. Informed that the Chancellor is somewhere near Prague, Eve goes rogue by violating the Ruska Roma's orders, flying across the Atlantic, and killing her way closer to her target. A brief encounter with a bedraggled Norman Reedus fails to register (the 'Death Stranding' actor shows up for just long enough to overcomplicate the plot), but things pick up in a hurry once Eve is pointed in the direction of an idyllic Austrian village called Hallstatt — a real place, beautifully wedged between a still lake and some glorious Alpine mountains — that 'Ballerina' John Wickifies into a cultish refuge for ex-assassins who want to create life instead of ending it. It's the perfect setup for this franchise to go full 'Hot Fuzz' when the shit hits the fan in the third act. And so 'Ballerina' halfheartedly pivots into a story that kinda sorta weighs family against fate, and — better yet — transitions into a movie where Ana De Armas smashes the same woman over the head with 20 different plates, invents a dozen new ways to absolutely obliterate people with grenades, and turns a pair of figure skates into a swinging pair of nunchakus that give new meaning to the double loop salchow. Eve's background as a dancer weirdly doesn't factor into the action in quite the same way (the ballerina of it all doesn't extend much beyond a few cues from 'Swan Lake,' or the same cue 10 different times), but that doesn't mean the movie treats her like a plug-and-play John Wick stand-in. On the contrary, its ultra-violence is reliably at its best whenever the blocking embraces de Armas' differences. 'Change the terms,' a Ruska Roma instructor tells Eve at the start of a film that's clearly hedging its bets. 'Lean into your strengths, not his.' She's talking about Eve's opponent, but the sentiment applies just as neatly to John Wick, whose stoicism turned every shootout into a war of wills. Eve doesn't have quite the same inner strength, and so she's forced to look for outside help. Read: She has to use her environment to fuck people up. And she does. She really does. The prop work never aspires to Jackie Chan levels of comic mayhem, but — with the help of stunt double and trainer Cara Marie Chooljian — de Armas uses every resource at her disposal to become a convincingly dangerous tornado of death. The third act finds Eve taking such eager advantage of the world around her that it feels like she's compensating for the first half of the movie's failure to do the same. Perhaps there will be time for that later. At its core, 'Ballerina' is a film about a bright-eyed newcomer asking a jaded legend for some career advice, only for John Wick to tell Eve to do something else with her life. But she obviously doesn't want to heed that warning, and by the time Eve kills her way to the end credits of this spinoff, I didn't want her to either. A bigger, more confident sequel might be just what this franchise needs to enjoy a peaceful transition of power — and to make good on the full potential of a Hollywood action movie that meaningfully tries to iterate on John Wick instead of just copying his moves.

When Is ‘From The World Of John Wick: Ballerina' Coming To Streaming?
Ana de Armas in 'From the World of John Wick: Ballerina." From the World of John Wick: Ballerina — starring Ana de Armas and Keanu Reeves in a supporting role — is new in theaters this week. When will it be available to watch at home? Directed by Len Wiseman, Ballerina plays in Thursday previews before it opens in theaters in wide release on Friday. The logline for the film reads, 'Taking place during the events of John Wick: Chapter 3 – Parabellum, the film follows Eve Macarro (Armas) who is beginning her training in the assassin traditions of the Ruska Roma.' In addition to Reeves, Ballerina also stars John Wick franchise cast members Anjelica Huston, Ian McShane and the late Lance Reddick, as well as franchise newcomers Gabriel Byrne, Catalina Sandino Moreno and Norman Reedus. Currently, the only way you can see Ballerina is in theaters, so check your local listings for showtimes. When Ballerina pivots a home entertainment release, the first place it will arrive is on digital streaming via premium video on demand. New films on PVOD are generally available for digital purchase for anywhere from $19.99 to $29.99 and for a 48-hour rental for anywhere from $14.99 to $24.99. Ballerina's studio, Lionsgate generally has a three- to six-week window between the time its films are released in theaters and their arrival on PVOD. For example, the Lionsgate thriller Flight Risk opened in theaters on Jan. 24 and debuted on PVOD about three weeks later, on Feb. 14. After that, the studio released the family drama The Unbreakable Boy in theaters on Feb. 21, but it didn't arrive on PVOD six weeks later, on April 4. If Ballerina follows the same release pattern as the two titles above, it could conceivably debut on PVOD anytime between June 24 and July 15, since new films on PVOD generally arrive on Tuesdays. However, since the John Wick franchise is one of Lionsgate's most successful film series, it could take Ballerina a bit longer to arrive on PVOD. For example, John Wick: Chapter 4 made its PVOD debut on May 23, 2023, nearly two months after the film was released in theaters on March 24, 2023. If Ballerina follows the lead of the previous John Wick film's digital streaming release, then it should arrive no later than Aug. 5 on PVOD. Since Lionsgate has a deal with the platform, From The World Of John Wick: Ballerina will first be available on the STARZ streaming service when the film arrives on streaming video on demand. Generally, it takes four to four and a half months for Lionsgate films to arrive on STARZ. For example, Flight Risk arrived on SVOD on STARZ on May 24, four months after its Jan. 24 theatrical release. However, the movie adaptation of the hit video game Borderlands arrived on SVOD on the platform on Dec. 25, 2024, about four and a half months after it opened in theaters on Aug. 9, 2024. If Ballerina follows the same pattern, the film should arrive on STARZ anytime between Sept. 5 and Sept. 19. From The World Of John Wick: Ballerina plays in Thursday previews before opening in wide release in theaters on Friday.
