Anna (2019)

Anna becomes a KGB secret agent and uses her modelling career in 90s Paris as a cover.

One's expectations before actually watching this movie are probably a tad unfair, because the trailer and any other adds for Anna make it look like a re-iteration of Atomic Blonde, Red Sparrow, Lucy or Nikita. Luc Besson as author contributes to the same impression.
Nothing could be more false. The film stands on its own, based on a very fluid and typical Luc Besson screenplay, with a focus on fast-paced action and maximised viewer fun. It's far less serious than all the titles mentioned above, and the events are told in a fragmented way without following the chronological order of the action, a fact has an almost dizzying effect but is also part of the charm and individuality of the film. Twists galore and no boredom at all.

Director / screenplay: Luc Besson
With: Sasha Luss, Helen Mirren, Luke Evans, Cillian Murphy

Rating: 8/10

  1. Cu acest film Netflix mi-a dat o mare teapa. În prezentare, în trailerul de pe Netflix, părea o romantica și frumoasa poveste de dragoste, asa ca am început sa îl vizionez și în numai câteva clipe îmi arata cum o violează pe aia. Am închis imediat, am scos filmul din my list, am dat unlike și m-am uitat la alt film.
