'From the World of John Wick: Ballerina' follows a young assassin named Eve, portrayed by Ana de Armas, seeking revenge for her family's death. Despite its action-packed sequences and contributions to the John Wick lore, the film struggles to deliver a compelling character arc or an engaging plot. Eve, while skilled and dangerous, feels one-dimensional, lacking the complexity needed to resonate with viewers. The introduction of a young girl for Eve to protect attempts to inject emotional stakes but does little to develop the protagonist's character further, rendering her more of a cypher than a fleshed-out hero.
"Ballerina functions well as a vehicle to add more lore and nuance to the JWCU - while also delivering numerous fun action sequences, yet falters with character depth."
"Eve's character lacks any real definition beyond her killer instincts, missing the emotional depth needed to connect with the audience on a personal level."
