Netflix has just released an intense trailer for their upcoming action movie, Ballerina, starring Jeon Jong-seo. This film promises to deliver a classic revenge story filled with brutal action and gore, reminiscent of Max Payne and The Last of Us: Part 2.
Both Max Payne and The Last of Us: Part 2 revolve around the theme of revenge, but they approach it in different ways. Ballerina’s action-packed scenes and combat resemble Max Payne’s bullet hell shootouts. The protagonist, Max, shares a commonality with Jong-seo’s character in Ballerina – they both have lost someone they failed to protect.
The movie’s description provides more insight into the plot and characters: “Grieving the loss of a best friend she couldn’t protect, ex-bodyguard Ok-ju sets out to fulfill her dear friend’s last wish: sweet, sweet revenge.”
The Last of Us: Part 2 comes into play with its brutal and emotionally weighty portrayal of revenge. Ballerina and TLOU 2 both showcase the raw and gut-wrenching feeling of avenging lost loved ones. While Ballerina’s main character seeks revenge as her friend’s explicit request, TLOU 2’s Ellie embarks on a personal vendetta, leaving no lives spared in her path.
The trailer also draws inspiration from other iconic action films like John Wick and Kill Bill. Ballerina features silent assassinations, high-octane vehicular chases, and a diverse range of weaponry.
In summary, Netflix’s Ballerina pays homage to the greats of the action genre. With its release on October 6th, this Korean thriller promises to captivate audiences with its intense action and gripping revenge story.
