An action-packed thriller where five ballerinas, on their way to a prestigious dance competition, are barely on speaking terms when their bus breaks down in a remote forest. With no other options, they reluctantly seek shelter at an unsettling roadside inn run by Devora Kasimer (Uma Thurman), a reclusive former ballet prodigy. From the moment they arrive, something feels wrong—and their worst instincts prove right. As the situation turns deadly, the fractured team must set aside rivalries and weaponize years of brutal training, turning grace, discipline, and even pointe shoes into tools for survival.

2.5/4
The film is lean, mean, and feisty, even if it doesn’t quite stick the landing. Go to Full Review
Angie Han The Hollywood Reporter Mar 16
The impression Pretty Lethal leaves behind is one of unfulfilled potential, an exciting premise executed as a fitfully fun but mostly forgettable distraction. Go to Full Review

Pretty Lethal certainly wastes no time getting to the meat and potatoes of its plot, which is both to the movie's benefit and detriment. Go to Full Review

1.5/5
Ask yourself the slightest question about plot details and it all falls apart. "Pretty Lethal" is, sadly, pretty silly, and not in the way that makes one have a good time throughout. Go to Full Review
