'Ballerina' review: Ana de Armas Becomes a Bona Fide Action Star in 'John Wick' Spinoff

A literally fiery spin-off that will floor the series' fandom, From the World of John Wick: Ballerina catapults Ana de Armas to bona fide action stardom. This fifth entry into the John Wick universe takes place between Chapter 3 – Parabellum and Chapter 4, and the supremely badass Baba Yaga has a significant supporting role. Keanu Reeves doesn't appear enough to steal Armas' thunder, but he adds credibility to a simple narrative: Ballerina is a straightforward revenge thriller that hits like a freight train from start to finish, and anyone looking for depth or nuance is in the wrong theater.
