Verdict on Ballerina
Ballerina is an action thriller following a young woman who sets out on a revenge plan against the person who killed her best friend. However, what she finds is a lot more deadly than she could imagine, as she faces a criminal organisation.
This does do everything you expect a revenge thriller to contain. It has a slow build between the big one against the world fights. They work well to show the brutality required for the fights and ends up leaving us cheering away. However, this never gets as big as many we have seen before. It entertains with ease and leaves us wanting more from the bigger picture we are watching.
Where to Watch: Ballerina is available on Netflix now.
Final Thoughts – Ballerina is an entertaining action revenge movie.
