Ana de Armas is Eve, a.k.a. Ballerina, a female assassin from the world of John Wick. Eve’s mission is to seek revenge against those who killed her family.

Directed by Len Wiseman; additional key cast includes Keanu Reeves, Catalina Sandino Moreno and Norman Reedus.

I’m sure this will be entertaining and de Armas will be great. However, even though I’m quite partial to stories of vengeance, I’m starting to wonder how many more assassin movies I can watch before serious fatigue properly sets in.

I remember starting to feel similarly about superhero films some years ago. Now, unfortunately, I tend to ignore most of the new ones, with just one exception, Deadpool.

In a way, assassins are sort of superheroes. Their motivation is just usually more personal than focused on saving humanity.

Of course, I can understand why many will be watching Ballerina. But, I wonder, how much more time and energy do you still have for assassin films?

Ian McShane, Lance Reddick, Anjelica Huston, David Castañeda, Gabriel Byrne, Anne Parillaud, Sharon Duncan-Brewster, Abraham Popoola, Togo Igawa, Caleb Spillyards, Ava Joyce McCarthy and Jaroslav Vundrle also star.

Ballerina Release Dates: June 6th, 2025 (US); June 7th 2025 (UK)…

Happy Film Loving,
