Ballerina

Ballerina is currently streaming in Australia on Amazon Prime Video, and in the US on HBO Max Amazon Channel and Starz Apple TV Channel, and its case-by-case structure never gets in the way of the bigger story. It says what it needs to say in one sitting, no filler. 2,744 viewers have already rated it on TMDB — the kind of consensus that does not happen by accident. Ana de Armas leads a cast that carries the story without ever feeling mechanical. Start it on Amazon Prime Video whenever you need something guaranteed to land.

Ballerina is not trying to be everything to everyone, and that focus is exactly what makes it work. At its heart, Ballerina understands what makes crime drama work — character first, plot second. Taking place during the events of John Wick: Chapter 3 – Parabellum, Eve Macarro begins her training in the assassin traditions of the Ruska Roma. The writing gets a boost from Ana de Armas and Keanu Reeves, who sell every scene they're in. Ballerina came out in 2025. Ballerina is at its best in the quiet scenes between the plot beats, where the character work actually happens. It knows exactly what it is, and does not try to be anything else.

For anyone who wants their crime drama to earn its twists, Ballerina delivers. It has built its own audience without needing a direct comparison. The complete film is available and best experienced without too much prior knowledge of where it goes. Ana de Armas carries scenes that would sink a lesser production. The resolution feels inevitable rather than arbitrary, which is rarer than it sounds.
