The Plot…

Anna is a beautiful young woman with immense potential and talents.  For these reasons she is recruited as a KGB agent.  After an intense year of training, Anna begins her career as an assassin.  Under the guise of an international fashion model, Anna travels the world completing assignments.

When the CIA discovers Anna’s secrets, they move to recruit her as a double agent.  What chance does one person have against the two most powerful countries in the world?

Thoughts (beware of spoilers)…

Helen Mirren’s character reminded me of Helen Parr (voiced by Holly Hunter) from The Incredibles.

Sasha Luss, Helen Mirren, Luke Evans, Cillian Murphy elevate this film.

Luc Besson doesn’t use linear story-telling for this one.  It worked.

Anna (2019) rates 4 of 5 stars.
