    Len Wiseman? Ewww. Hopefully it is good, but he doesn't fill me with confidence. Ana does.

    If you’re looking for the hottest new movie, I’ve got just the thing, Ballerina.

    This film has everything: dancing, random cameo appearances, Daryl from The Walking Dead, bad Russian accents that sound like a mix of Dracula and your gym teacher, ice skate fights, slow-motion walking, Russia, disco brawls with lasers, people spraying fire hoses for no reason, and vengeance that lasts forever.

    It’s like if John Wick and Flashdance had a baby... and then that baby was raised in a Russian disco by a man named Boris, who only speaks in movie quotes.

    Ok, I don't know how but I totally missed the first trailer when it was released. This does look pretty awesome. It's such a delicate thing to have a woman be a badass action hero on screen because the physical presence is just different. A lot of times it just comes off as silly. But the clips from those trailers look like they nailed it with Ana. I am now fully stoked for this.

    He got shot point blank in the dick? I'm definitely going to be that guy in the theater to stand up and applaud once that scene comes up.

    Looks like a good rental, but I'm probably staying home. This is from someone who saw them all John Wick's at the theater.

    The action is solid, that flame thrower sequence was cool. Characters are all paper thin, even De Armas which is a shame because she's all in. There's no reason for it to be 2 hours long, its mindless entertainment entertainment and I would have been perfectly fine with it being an hour and half. C+ for me....
