Ana de Armas wanted more action in her movies. She got it, from intense flamethrowers to deadly ice skates, with her "John Wick" spinoff "Ballerina."

Lance Reddick, who died in 2023, makes his final screen appearance as Charon, and Ian McShane is back as Winston, the Continental Hotel’s dapper boss. They’re joined by a mighty roster of character actors: Gabriel Byrne as the evil Chancellor and Norman Reedus as an assassin on the run. Everybody, though, gives their B-game for “Ballerina.”
