A FILM WITH HELEN MIRREN

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
