Unlike so many bloated yet weightless mainstream action offerings from Hollywood, it will leave you feeling satiated and rejuvenated.

Asian Movie Pulse

“Ballerina” is a film that will definitely find some appeal among fans of violent action, but the fact that this aspect takes too long to begin, and that there is nothing particularly memorable here, results in just another flick

Rated: 5

It’s not as refined but it’s basically John Wick meets Kill Bill! Jeon Jong-seo was incredible and Kim Ji-hoon is great as the villain. Badass fights, amazing soundtrack - go watch this movie!

Rated: 4/5

Lee Chung-hyun draws a lot of style out of a nighttime city alive with danger, Jeon Jong-seo is an asskicker of few words, and the ultimate showdown isn’t any less satisfying just because you knew it was coming.

South China Morning Post

A lean and unflinching exercise in neon and blood-drenched action that should sate fans of such movies, despite lacking the genre-bending originality of Lee’s attention-grabbing debut.

Rated: 3/5

Maybe its story is simple but its vibe, audiovisual display and central character are exceptional. [Full Review in Spanish]

A very stylish revenge flick with great production across the board, and with a beating heart. It is exactly what it purports to be with no pretense. I love it.

Great atmosphere, great visuals, and excellent sound. Really need a good subwoofer for the best effect. Some great action sequences, but not so much that it drowns out some quirky, and emotional scenes.

Your average "I'll avenge you my friend" movie. However, the editing, photography, soundtrack, and color dopler are of good quality. Visually striking.

Filme: Ballerina Assistido: 17/3/24 Elenco: @jeonjongseo_fanpage @jiraishin99 @hwipink @nayurimu @kimooyul_fc Modelo: #mafia #ação #drama Duração: 1h 33m Ano: 2023 Minha opinião: O estilo John Wick hoje tem contagiado os produtores e diretores elevando para outro patamar as cenas de lutas e tiros. Aqui temos uma John Wicka, Kkkkkk Mas com aquela pitada coreana que força as cenas, mas no contexto total as cenas de lutas e tiros são bem feitos. O filme conta a estoria de Jang que é uma ex-segurança, uma mulher que não tem amigos, a não ser Choi que é uma bailarina su única amiga. Porém ela some e Jang começa a investigar o seu sumiço dela. E quanto mais vai se aprofundando, o nível do inimigo vai crescendo. E a cada nível são cenas lutas e tiros. Até que chega ao clímax aonde tem uma grande plantação de flores que é retirado o veneno pra fazer as drogas. Ótimas cenas de lutas, tiros e acrobacias ao estilo coreano. Você assistindo verá um John wick feminina. É claro que nem tudo é perfeito bem no moento que parece que a protagonista vai morrer, revive a moça que tudo indicava estar morta. Kkkkk, mas digamos que deixamos passar. Mas é um filme ao estilo de Mãe, Kate, Ava,..... Roteiro e enredo bons, certos moentos forçados ao estilo coreano. Vale apena assistir? Para quem curte muita ação. Nota: 7,5

Got off to a strong start and had some excellent (if too few in number) flashback sequences but ultimately couldn't recover from its disappointingly average plot, poor editing, and uninteresting characters.

Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars
