I WATCHED THIS MOVIE FOR MY 2025 MOVIE CHALLENGE.
WEEK 44: A FILM WITH HELEN MIRREN

Description: Beneath Anna Poliatova’s (Sasha Luss) striking beauty lies a secret that will unleash her indelible strength and skill to become one of the world’s most feared government assassins.

Review: Luc Besson directed some very memorable films, like “The Fifth Element” and “Léon”. Both amazing films, that I really love. “Anna” unfortunately doesn’t fall in that category, I did not like this film.
 
Russian Anna works as a saleswoman, when she is discovered and becomes an interenatiol fashion icon. But behind her beautiful appearance, however, lies a dark secret as she leads a double life as a hitwoman.
 
The film is a stylish action-packed thriller, but has a weak story and plot twists that are a bit confusing. The film combines action with espionage, with a non-linear narrative that uses many flashbacks to tell the story. The film isn’t original and very predictable. And there is no chemistry between any of the characters, especially in the romantic relationships (if you can call them romantic).
 
I didn’t like “Anna”, I will probably forget about it within a couple of weeks. Would not recommend.
 
Rating: 2/ 5
