Review of Ballerina

Ballerina (III) (2023)
6/10
Mediocrity best consumed with lots of Popcorn
7 October 2023
Warning: Spoilers
I was intriqued with the premises, a Bad Ass Female that plows her way Jane Wick style to dish a cold revenge in the name of her deceased friend (it is in the trailer)

But it seems that this movie is having trouble between a modern flick or living in the past with the color pallete that more resembles a Wong Kar Wai classic, or at least to me.

The background of the protagonist is not well fleshed out, you don't get to be a bad ass assassin overnight. The motive for suicide is not very believeable, people have leaked sex tape and it doesn't simply turn into suicide, and rich people with BDSM fetish don't simply kill people for the sake of it. That's a different fetish.

But anyway, I get it that it's an action flick and have to leave my brain at the shelf. But a lot of the actions have been done to death, bloody bruised female protagonist that somehow win, cliche stupid goons who charges towards a gun, a supposedly badass female who dont check her gun for jam.

The main actress can't act. I get it that you're a mysterious, socially awkward bodyguard or assassin or something, but that doesn't mean you only get 1 face for every emotion

Oh well... just enjoy your popcorn, overall it's an ok movie if you can somehow suspend your disbelief.
