Before the ballet dancer, Anna de Armas appeared in two completely different films with Keanu Reeves

This post contains Spoilers For “ballet dancer”.

Lin Wizmann’s “ballet dancer” realizes that stylistic work is the most important quality. While Eve (Anna de Armas) surpasses the extraordinary bad guys as she seeks revenge (Even using grenades to fight their path at one point), the “ballet dancer” flourishes, giving us the impression that it really belongs to the world of “John Wake”. Everything else, however, is somewhat dull, even when John Wake (Keno Reeves) shows himself to help her mission. Of course, watching Reeves at work is always a welcome scene, especially when his boy deviates to the utmost morally complex. However, the presence of the character in this period of time (which occurs between the third and fourth “Falgha” movie) feels more escaping than it is reasonable, which raises the color ambiguity even when the Eve/Wick team keeps things interesting enough.

while Wake’s presence in the “ballet dancer” feels an operationIt is recognized that watching him is approaching Eve to obtain advice, and his vision plays a later role in her story. Wake is hardly the type of man who preaches restrictions, but he may see parts of himself in Eve, who asks to leave after sending him to assassinate her. But Eve is not the type of person who surrenders easily, which is why we are dealing with an inevitable fight between the two. Wake loses, only to return and aid on the eve of the best of his power, as he cuts her opponents to the left and right before they can flash. If this sudden dynamic has given more time to develop, we have a more persuaded collision between killers in distinguished stages of their individual paths.

“Ballerina” is not the first movie to include Reeves and De Armas, where the duo had previously worked together in “Detection” and “Knock Knock”, and two excitement different from each other and from anything related to “John Wick” Universe. Let’s take a closer look at these films.

The first is “Knock Knock” from Eli Roth, which is supposed to be inspired by the 1977 “death game”, which is an exploitation film that addresses the topics of dissatisfaction without ingenuity. Ruth Interpretation of the story is not complicated or accurate, in itself, but it practices a satirical feature that helps shine on the most cruel aspects of the plot. In the movie “Knock Knock”, a middle -aged architect named Ivan (Reeves) suddenly was surprised by a young young woman appearing on his threshold during a thunderstorm, and allowed them inside his home so that they can use his phone. These women, Genesis (Lorenza Izu) and the country (Armas), flirt with the married Ivan, and it appears that at first more interested in helping them return home as soon as possible. As the night advances, though, it succumbs to seduction, but this violation rises to something very disturbing the next morning.

Creation with Distinguished Ruth brand for filmmaking (which looks more suitable for a low budget and pulp horror However), “Knock Knock” is transferred to the spelling of garbage very quickly, but it lacks self -control or the ingenuity required for excellence. The fact that the film was marketed as a traditional exciting film that did not do any of the preferences, as people either were completely surprised or not affected by the satirical determined in the second half. The end is also frustrating, but if you want to see De Armas in its first English -speaking role (besides Reeves action in an unlimited hypothesis), “Knock Knock” may deserve the shot.

After that, there was a “exposed”, where the NYPD GALBAN (Reeves) investigator stumbled on a parallel case that involves a mysterious woman named Isabel during the investigation of the death of his partner, Detective Culin (Danny Hoish). The “open” world is brave and glory, until it suddenly turns into a surreal scene with the possibility of foreigners (!!!) and other incomprehensible nonsense. Although there is a glimmer of a procedural story that can be exciting under the appropriate conditions, the “exposed” is very boring and partial for its interest. REEVES and De Armas do what they can with the little offered, but these offers are very unqualified to activate such a dark hypothesis.

“Knock Knock” and “Ensposes” are both currently available to broadcast on Prime Video.
