Featured reviews
Not as well written as his Nikita, but Besson keeps the body count flowing in Anna with far greater numbers. Much of the film keeps you guessing and then answers with several flashback scenes.
Some of the wild action is on the outrageous level of a Bruce Willis Die Hard film. but just as enjoyable. The lead Sasha Luss does a decent job as Anna the assassin.

I liked the movie. Interesting moments intertwined in an even more interesting way. The movie is not realistic, but I didn't expect anything else. I liked the dynamics, the acting, the tangled story and the action.
As well as the finale, which is definitely satisfying.
I didn't like the length of the movie. As well as the fact that the action was a little faster. And not focused on one particular part. But at least everything was put together in a great way.
Fun fight scenes, excellent cinematography, and a few twists make for an enjoyable movie, but I couldn't get over the out-of-time technology: pagers, mobile phones, laptops, and internet - years before they existed.
Like any story, sit back and let it take you for a ride. Too many focus on how the carpet is flying instead of just fly along and it ruins their ride.
Story took several smart twists and turns I didn't expect and it kept me focused intently. Helen did a great job as usual and the lead was captivating and quietly realistic. Luc did a good job on the story directing and casting. Far better and more sophisticated than Salt and others, I was pleasantly surprised, thanks for the enjoyable ride.

Nice action movie, full of plot twists. Some cliches moments but overall enjoyable and entertaining!
Some scenes made me think that Luc Besson had recently watched Kill Bill and got some inspiration :)
Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaWriter, producer and director Luc Besson was accused of sexual misconduct during production of this movie. Although no charges were filed due to lack of evidence, the studio and distributors subsequently distanced themselves from the movie, releasing it without official screenings and with only a minimum of publicity. This movie, which was supposed to be the breakthrough for model-turned-actress Sasha Luss, only made thirty million dollars worldwide, which could mean the end for Besson's EuropaCorp studio, which was already struggling from his previous box-office failure, Valerian and the City of a Thousand Planets (2017).
- GoofsIn 1991, Agent Miller tells Anna that he could have her shipped to the Czech Republic, but as Czechoslovakia didn't dissolve until 1993, the Czech Republic did not yet exist when this scene takes place.
