Ballerine

« En somme, on se situe quelques « coches » au-dessus du thriller d’action moyen, visuellement à tout le moins. Car sur le plan du récit, on demeure dans les archétypes et les figures connues. »

« La succession ininterrompue d’affrontements nous empêche de ressentir les effets de sa quête de vengeance sur sa personnalité intrinsèque. »

« However, Ballerina also doesn’t spend its entire 126-minute running time winking at the audience with all the John Wick-universe nods. Given the appeal of de Armas, it’s not hard to invest in Eve’s quest, with the movie having an intriguing hook. »

« It can be said that Ballerina doesn’t ignore the unique qualities of the John Wick world, and it does do some scope-expansion for the canon, but it’s also by far the most undercooked work in the franchise. »

« All I can tell you is that the first half of the movie is a chore to sit through (even with Ana de Armas being radiant in every frame), and then after the fade-out, there is an abundance of creativity, wit, and sparkling choreography between the performers and the camera. »
