"Pretty Lethal," directed by Vicky Jewson and streaming on Prime Video, follows five ballerinas whose bus breaks down in Hungary before their debut performance, forcing them to take shelter in an inn run by Uma Thurman's character, a fallen ballet prodigy connected to a dangerous crime lord. The film inventively combines ballet with action sequences and employs the dancers as weapons, but is ultimately undermined by uninspired writing, thin character development, and uneven pacing that fails to match its visual spectacle.
