The film wants to explore themes of violence, generational trauma, grief, and the possibility of redemption. Instead, it just presents them. 

A lot of movies barely have a point of view at all. This one is a prism in comparison.

The last third of “Ballerina” is basically one extended truly goofy action sequence, and it’s the kind of unpretentious fun that one wants from a movie subtitled “From the World of John Wick.”

Impressive and exasperating in its determination to squeeze every previous iteration of this story into one huge glimmering chunk of lore.

The series buckles under the weight of the novel it’s adapted from, shackling Biel to its restrictive formula and unfolding like a dull book you desperately want to put down.

Although it lacks bite at times, in the end, it still manages to pack a thrilling punch.

Sean Byrne’s “Dangerous Animals” is sharp in all the right places.
