The John Wick film series has redefined the action genre since its debut in 2014. Directed by Chad Stahelski and starring Keanu Reeves as the titular character, the saga follows an ex-hitman seeking vengeance for the death of his beloved dog, a gift from his deceased wife. The film’s unique blend of stylized action, compelling storytelling, and a richly detailed underworld of assassins captivated audiences and critics alike. The innovative choreography and visual artistry exhibited in the fight scenes, alongside a haunting score, set a new benchmark for action cinema. Each subsequent instalment—John Wick: Chapter 2, John Wick: Chapter 3 – Parabellum, and John Wick: Chapter 4—expanded the universe, delving deeper into the complex rules and hierarchy of the assassin community while continuously upping the ante on action sequences and world-building.
The latest is Ballerina, a spin-off film, that further explores the expansive universe of John Wick. Centring on a young female assassin trained in the brutal ways of her craft, Ballerina weaves together themes of revenge and identity much like its predecessors. Ana de Armas is in the lead role, and the narrative connects to John Wick’s story during the events of the third film while introducing fresh characters and perspectives. With the same creative team behind the original films, including the return of Reeves in a cameo role, Ballerina maintains the series’ signature flair while expanding its lore in exciting new directions.
