If nothing else, Pretty Lethal — the latest blood-drenched and neon-lit endeavor from 87North, the outfit behind (promisingly) The Fall Guy and (less promisingly) Love Hurts — contains one truly spectacular sequence.
It comes in the third act, when a quintet of young ballerinas find themselves trapped in a hotel lobby, surrounded by deadly Hungarian gangsters on all sides. With nowhere to run, the girls rally the only way they know how: by launching into their dance routine. Moving in well-practiced harmony, they turn pirouettes into kicks and jetés into body slams, brandishing hammers and broken bottles and whatever else they can grab.
