Ballerina (2025) - 4/10
Look, I'd watch Ana de Armas do anything. Literally anything. Someone could release a film of her reading the manual of a Worcester Bosch Greenstar 4000 30kW boiler and I'd give it a go. She glides through the John Wick universe with lethal grace, fantastic posture, that incredible arse and a face so perfect that Helen of Troy would be jealous. The gist of this movie is basically, "gorgeous woman seeking vengeance by kicking people in the face", so if that sounds like your thing, then off you go. I've realised of late that I'm just not into fighting films any more. They literally do nothing for me. I haven't liked any of the previous John Wick films and I barely liked this one either. If there ever was a spy/assassin as good looking as De Armas, having her being punched in the nose constantly would be a terrible use of her attributes. But everything about the John Wick films is ridiculous and this latest installment is no different.
