Beneath Anna Poliatova’s striking beauty lies a secret that will unleash her indelible strength and skill to become one of the world’s most feared government assassins. An electrifying thrill ride unfolding with propulsive energy, startling twists, and breathtaking action, Anna introduces Sasha Luss in the title role with a star-studded cast including Academy Award® winner Helen Mirren, Cillian Murphy, and Luke Evans.
"Luc Besson has a trademark: action thrillers starring deadly female leads. This was the case with 'Nikita: Programmed to Kill' and 'Lucy', for example. The director and screenwriter repeats the formula with 'Anna: The Danger Has a Name', with a protagonist that reminds us a lot of Nikita: a young woman trained by the government to be a spy and also a killing machine. The difference here is that Anna doesn't want to rediscover who she really is, but rather escape her past. The film delivers the stylized action that has been Besson's trademark since 'The Fifth Element', as well as a plot with its twists, in the style of 'Atomic'. As you noticed, the feature film brings that déjà vu feeling, with a true collage of what we have seen in other productions. Still, for action fans or the director, it's worth watching. Oh! The cast has its familiar faces, such as Helen Mirren, Luke Evans and Cillian Murphy, as well as Sasha Luss in her first lead role."
