Ballerina review: a dance-by-numbers return to the world of John Wick

Lionsgate always needed to take John Wake A new direction privilege if it wants to preserve the film series after the inevitable exit from its central star. A Spinoff series It came and went with the absence of an uproar that, in part, to how John Wake Stories feel like they are supposed to be experience in cinemas. While the studio was A second offer in businessIt seems like another project that may end up until it is a sign of that John Wake It works better on the silver screen.
On paper, director Lin Wizmann was named embarrassed From the world of John Wake: Ballet dancer The feature looks like a direct parallel prequel type that can act as a start for a new chapter for the greater privilege. There is simplicity in the story and a comic whim (some) of its work that seems correct with John Wake Brand. There are enough returning faces from old films that work somewhat well at the forefront of an anxious killers.
But in practice, Ballet dancer It lacks a lot of taste close to the camp that previously made John Wake Films are fun, most of their specified pieces feel inspiring. Instead of using her story to show you how an ordinary person learns the privacy and generalities of the killer lifestyle, Ballet dancer Most of its time is running on the narrative rhythms of other motion films. This may have succeeded if the pioneering actor in the film performed a convincing performance that has sold her personality as a legitimate heir to the series. But Ana De Armas-especially compared to its participating stars-is very flat for its interest.
Appointment between events John Wake: Chapter 3 – Parapelum and John Wake: Chapter 4and Ballet dancer The rise of Eve (Ana De Armas) is listed as it becomes one of the most rented killers in the world. When an orphan brought up in Rome, Eve knows that she is destined to follow in the footsteps of her mother with adopting, director (Anjelica Huston). But part of it is still eager to leave her violent life behind her to practice the Calais profession. It is a dream that Eve’s father (David Castaneda) encouraged to adhere to her during her childhood while working to preserve his small family safe and away from another dead clan of deadly killers. But after forcing him to watch his death at the hands of the Chancellor (Gabriel Bern) as a child, Eve closes this part of herself in order to focus on revenge.
As one of the most powerful young students in Ruska Roma, it does not take much Eve to persuade the director to allow her to start out to take out and / or protect prominent goals. But when one of her tasks brings face to face with a clan member, she breaks the protocol and begins to search for more of her, knowing that her adopting family will take quick measures to stop her before she set out from the war.
Compared to the past John Wake Movies, there is roughness Ballet dancer“Design designed battles that aim to highlight the relatively new Eve to work in this field and how, because of its small position, it must be creative in its approach in the face of larger opponents. While Eve finds herself in many photography, the film often leaves it not to give up its intelligence and any worldly things (instead of weapons) that occurs.
It is an idea that works well enough Ballet dancer“The first verb, when we showed for the first time its distinctive movement to use body weight to capture people’s necks and arms. Nevertheless Ballet dancerA text of the texts of some story excels Bill was killed And Marvel Black widowClassic film John Wake In the way it is confirmed by its fight on the art of fighting. But as the film advances, it becomes clear that Eve does not contain many other tricks that raise her sleeve, and few tend to feel that De Armas steps calculate her way.
Acting was never the great lottery John Wake Films, but there is an emotional wooden quality for the performance of De Armas, which makes Eve difficult to buy as a complicated, conflicting character. This is especially clear in the scenes between Eve and Ballet dancerOther returning characters from John WakeIn the past, such as New York Continental owner Winston Scott (Ian McChan) and the Conserge Charon Hotel (the late Lance Reddek in his last performance on the screen).
where Ballet dancer Does it work well in the moments when she embraced the cardboard energy that has always been in John Wake Franching and served to compensate for the visceral brutality from its fight. It is difficult to see Eve on the faces of people on cutting ice sneaks on her hands, but it is extremely fun seeing her as she uses the hose of the fire to accumulate with someone practicing flame launchers. In fact, De Armas embarrassing it seems more than a feature than a scenes error that doubles the idea that Eve is learning in the job and is still accustomed to mocking it as a killer in this increasing reality. but Ballet dancer He insists on returning to a dangerous tone that does not prefer its main actor.
It is easy to imagine Ballet dancer Really shines with a little living card John Wake. But for this type of time, we will have to do so Wait, whatever the next privilege.
