As a slick, over-the-top action picture, Anna works splendidly. It features multiple jaw-dropping set-pieces, including a restaurant hit where Anna walks in with an unloaded gun and walks out after killing about a dozen thugs. The plot, while fairly predictable, is at least craftily constructed. On its own merits, this is one rollickingly entertaining film, that under ordinary circumstances Besson fans would adore.

Anna isn’t as stylish or gripping as “Nikita,” but it does have its own demented charm, particularly in how it toys with structure, nesting competing narrative timelines within each other. Read full review

This kind of Cold War-a-go-go, deadly-honeypot intrigue is harder to do well than you might think — just ask the folks behind "Red Sparrow." So you appreciate it when someone like Besson can make it move like a pro. Read full review

It’s nowhere near the embarrassment of Brian De Palma’s “Domino,” or any number of recent studio tentpoles. Nor is it fresh enough to pretend that audiences had missed out on something special if it had been buried altogether — except perhaps for Luss, who’s bound to get another shot. Read full review

Anna is not quite pedestrian but it never really feels like the work of someone with anything to say or prove. It’s competent and even complacent at times, a million miles from what one would expect from the director of The Fifth Element. Read full review

The film switches timelines every fifteen minutes, jumping between six months before and present day with an absolute disregard for storytelling, and this is merely the most obvious problem, not its worst. Read full review

Anna relies on a time-shifting structure that is laughably exhausting. Read full review

This movie is a total hoot! the lead actress is fantastic, and the three co-stars (her KGB handler, the CIA dude, and Hellen Mirren) are all fantastic. Everyone in my theater had a great time with this movie.

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Mission: Impossible and Jason Bourne found a perfect match and shes a woman her name is Anna! an elite KGB assassin, fast , strong , violent and powerful she gets exactly what she wanted playing both sides CIA and KGB to Free her self from both Agency. Sasha Luss as Anna gives a pretty amazing performance considering this to be her first big movie we may be interested seeing more from her in future. Other leads that follow her like Mr. Evans, Mr. Murphy and Mrs. Mirren are pretty good touch to movie and expose their talents on screen that we may not seen yet. Overall great movie! unexpected twist! great story, great ending thumbs up for me.… Expand

Muy entretenida, típica peli de mujer espía, todas las mujeres son bellisimas. La historia con sus vueltas de tuerca es la que la hace buena.

Waste of time boring movie. The acting was terrible. The action sequences were utterly ridiculous.
