Four reviews track Len Wiseman from Underworld to Die Hard 4 and the John Wick spinoff Ballerina. Underworld entries are panned for clichés and weak plotting; Ballerina draws criticism for flat style versus Stahelski. Die Hard 4 is praised as non-stop, over-the-top fun. Overall, flashy action over depth is a recurring theme.
