Anna (2019)

Recently, I watched Anna on Netflix.  And I got my “Female James Bond” and Assassin.

Somewhere you may feel like this movie is like ‘Red Sparrow’ but no. It’s better than it.

Directed and written by Luc Besson, Anna is full of Action, Suspense and Thrill.

Yes, like Red Sparrow, it is with sex also. But not that much.

Our main lead character is Sasha Luss (Anna), who is a Russian spy working for KGB. She kills people but first attracting them towards her. So she is beautiful, hot and Fearless!

Then further in movie our Anna starts working for American Spy Agency. And somewhere gets stuck between USA and Russia, with no life for herself. But Anna never chose to become spy for herself.

She was just accepting what life had offered her. But after certain point she decides to choose herself over USA and Russia.

Anna in this movie is in love with three people, her Girl Friend Maude (Lera Abova), the Russian KGB agent Alex (Luke Evans) and CIA agent Lenny Miller (Cillian Murphy). But in the end, she chooses herself only! There is one more female lead character in this movie, Olga played by Helen Mirren.

In the end Olga, becomes the new head (and female) head of KGB.

Apart from spying on people, getting information and killing them, Anna works as a Fashion Model. This helps her to keep her profile low and stay away from any trouble due to her job of spying. For that she made a GF in Paris, which also helps her to keep men away from her! It’s a complete female centric movie.

The best part of movie is that it’s full of suspense. The movie plot sometimes goes in the past, sometimes in the present. Full of Twists! Going back and forth. And this I think makes this movie more interesting and suspenseful. Narrative of this movie is great but execution it was a little sloppy. Movie is bit lengthy. It could have been better. But acting is really really good, specially Anna is on the fire!

On my personal note, I fall in love with the song “I’m Criminal.” What a song man! The lyrics 100/100.

Even if you don’t watch this movie, you must have to listen this song, “I’m Criminal.” The other song, “My Beauty,” is also beautiful lyrics and amazing music. 

Overall nice and Entertaining movie with lots of Action and Suspense.
