Ballerina

Ballerina

From the World of John Wick comes a new installment that introduces and focuses on a new Assassin in training known as “Ballerina”.

After watching her father fight for his life, but ultimately is killed, Eve (Ballerina) is thrust into the world of a Ballerina or so she thought… 

Once Eve finds her footing figuratively and literally, she is sent out on a few “training” missions that ultimately prepare her for her ultimate challenge… Kill the Man who killed her father. The story unfolds from there…

Once out of training Eve (Ballerina) is a BAD ASS!!  

The action is brutal and bloody, but is non-stop. The stunts are spectacular. The suspense is “Edge of Your Seat”. 

The world of Assassins is a bit amazing as they carry on without Police interference. The story and plot are fresh and some parts are a bit familiar.

I am excited to see where this goes as the door is open. I expect another installment sometime in the future.

If you are a fan of the John Wick Franchise, “Ballerina” should not be missed.

John Wick: Chapter 2

Welcome to a Special Edition of “Thursday Night at the Movies with The Movie Warrior”

I am often leery about second installments of a movie whose first installment was surprisingly good. I did not think that “John Wick: Chapter 2” could improve on its 2014 debut, but I stand corrected. As action/drama movies go, “John Wick: Chapter 2” is awesome!

“John Wick: Chapter 2” has an excellent lead in and it reminds you of what transpired in the first installment. John (Keanu Reeves) wants desperately to retire, but after only being home for a couple of days a former associate from his past comes knocking at his door. At first John refuses the assignment that is offered, but the associate who visits him refuses to take no for an answer. Since John said “No”, the associate exacts revenge and destroys John’s house which leaves him homeless. Now John has no choice but to find out what the assignment is and go execute it. The story unfolds from there…

The action is awesome and intense. The events are non-stop. There is a ton of suspense and intrigue. Keanu Reeves is in great shape for his role as John Wick. There were many awesome fight scenes. The only draw-back is the dialog. If you are interested in a movie that has a lot of dialog, you will not be happy with “John Wick: Chapter 2”. The dialog is minimal, but is enough to get the job done.

All in all “John Wick: Chapter 2” is definitely worth the ticket.
