My Take
Len Wiseman doesn't get the auteur reverence some directors do, but I have real affection for his craft. The Underworld films built a moody, blue-lit gothic world that genuinely had a look, and he kept the action legible and stylish across Live Free or Die Hard and the Total Recall remake. With Ballerina in 2025 he proved he still knows how to stage kinetic spectacle. He's a working professional who runs his own shop and delivers what he promises. In an era of bloated, incoherent action, that reliability is more valuable than critics admit.
