Anna

La mejor película de espías mainstream de Europa desde Skyfall. Está filmada con estilo, no deja de sorprender en términos de guion, dedicada no solo a la acción sino también a los personajes. Cuenta con un buen reparto y está muy bien equilibrada políticamente (CIA contra KGB). Preciso en la coreografía de batallas, persecuciones y tiroteos. Sexualmente apasionada (Anna con chicos), emocionalmente tierna (Anna con novia lesbiana). A través de la promiscuidad seductora y la traición en las relacionales como todo el oscuro mundo de los agentes. Me ha gustado todo de esta película, tanto como se puede en un thriller de espías, además de que me ha sorprendido por su inteligente perspectiva y su novedosa visión de los temas tradicionales del género. ¡Besson tiene un corazón europeo amante de la paz y sigue siendo un gran cineasta!

An action B-movie about a KGB assassin who must unleash a secret service war to win her freedom. And the whole thing is unfortunately mediocre fun at best. Two good action scenes and a seductive Sasha Luss in the lead role can't hide the fact that it's all surprisingly stupid and ultimately not very entertaining. (27.08.2019)

Alright, Luc Besson has proven that even a Russian model like Sasha Luss, with barely any film experience, can pull off the role of an action-packed femme fatale. But let’s be real—this is starting to feel like a broken record. La Femme Nikita, Lucy, Anna... maybe it's time for a new tune? (11.06.2021)

It's not overwrought, it's just completely stupid. Plus, I simply don't give a damn about these sharp girls with anorexic body constitutions that would make their arms heavy even with a toothpick in their palms, and yet they're getting it on with a plethora of jacked-up bodyguards. Besson is already a parody of himself, but Europa Corp. is giving him work, so why would he change it. (29.09.2019)

Luc Besson serves up a great spy action thriller with a sex appeal-laden Sasha Luss. It's exactly the kind of gritty action flick that has been missing from cinemas for the last few years. The main character is having a hard time in life, in fact she's almost broke until she gets the opportunity to become a KGB government assassin with no competition. Cillian Murphy as the CIA chief and Luke Evans from the KGB are also great. The frequent time jumping is slightly confusing at first, but it gets proper meaning as the film progresses and there are surprisingly enough unexpected twists. There could have been more action, but when it comes down to it, you'll be sweating pretty hard. The five-minute restaurant scene in one take rivals John Wick, and cutting guys with a torn plate instead of a knife is an awesome idea! There are more than enough headshots and dead bodies. I had fun, just what I needed at the movies this summer. 80% (16.07.2019)
