Featured reviews
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.
Well, I don't get all those harsh critics about the lack of realism, for example regarding the fight scenes, I mean, common, of course a killing machine like Anna is an impossibilty, but does anyone complain about the killing capacities of guys like James Bond, John McClane or John Wick!? Those movies any more realistic!?
Anna is simple a nice entertaining action flick with some good fights, a beautiful and well performing actress, but for certain one of the more conventional and simpler movies made by Mr. Besson. All in all a good movie with some twists and fun moments but no masterpiece.
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 :)
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.
