“Fight like a girl,” the heroine of Ballerina is instructed. Apparently, taken to its logical conclusion (to the extent that any movie set in the John Wick universe can be said to have a logical conclusion) this imperative means duelling with flamethrowers and using ice skates like bayonets, impressively inventive bits of carnage in a movie whose body count is in triple digits before the end of the first act.
