South Korean director Lee Chung-hyun’s new movie ‘Ballerina’ has recently premiered on Netflix.
The action-packed film features Jeon Jong-seo starring as Ok-ju a young woman with a mysterious past, receives a call from an old friend one day, who summons her over to her house immediately.
When Ok-ju shows up at her friend Min-hee’s apartment, she discovers that she has taken her own life and left a cryptic note for her friend in which Min-hee instructs Ok-ju to avenge her death. As a clue, she pointed her in the direction of a man named Chef Choi, a mid-level drug lord.
Netflix’s ‘Ballerina’: Stream or Skip the South Korean thriller?
Oj-ju discovers that Choi is running a side hustle through which he grooms young girls, forces them to participate in snuff films under the influence of drugs, and then threatens to leak the videos online.
The new Korean 90-minute adrenaline rush action was more thrilling and didn’t disappoint when it came to delivering an adrenaline rush but sadly there was no storyline or plot.
Ballerina is nothing like its titular name; the action of the movie is 8/10 but as beautiful as ballet can often be, the dance form has an underlying brutality that is ignored.
Ballerina is the kind of movie where the viewer would enjoy action and fight with a good soundtrack, but not the story because there is no plot and if it’s that’s so, it’s quite weak.
