Anna: Assassina Profissional

O melhor filme de espionagem europeu desde 007 Skyfall. Filmado com estilo, constantemente surpreendente em termos de argumento, dedicado não só à ação mas também aos personagens. Com um bom elenco, politicamente perfeitamente equilibrado (CIA vs. KGB). Preciso na coreografia de batalhas, perseguições e tiroteios. Sexualmente apaixonada (Anna com homens), emocionalmente terna (Anna com namorada lésbica). De cima a baixo, sedutoramente promíscuo e tão traiçoeiro como todo o mundo escuro dos agentes. Gostei de tudo sobre este filme tanto quanto se pode num thriller de espionagem, além de me ter surpreendido com a sua perspetiva inteligente e a sua original abordagem dos temas do género tradicionais. Besson tem o coração de um pacificador europeu e continua a ser um grande cineasta! (29/07/2020)

Alright, Luc Besson has proven that even a Russian model like Sasha Luss, with barely any film experience, can pull off the role of an action-packed femme fatale. But let’s be real—this is starting to feel like a broken record. La Femme Nikita, Lucy, Anna... maybe it's time for a new tune? (11/06/2021)

An action B-movie about a KGB assassin who must unleash a secret service war to win her freedom. And the whole thing is unfortunately mediocre fun at best. Two good action scenes and a seductive Sasha Luss in the lead role can't hide the fact that it's all surprisingly stupid and ultimately not very entertaining. (27/08/2019)

It's not overwrought, it's just completely stupid. Plus, I simply don't give a damn about these sharp girls with anorexic body constitutions that would make their arms heavy even with a toothpick in their palms, and yet they're getting it on with a plethora of jacked-up bodyguards. Besson is already a parody of himself, but Europa Corp. is giving him work, so why would he change it. (29/09/2019)

Luc Besson serves up a great spy action thriller with a sex appeal-laden Sasha Luss. It's exactly the kind of gritty action flick that has been missing from cinemas for the last few years. The main character is having a hard time in life, in fact she's almost broke until she gets the opportunity to become a KGB government assassin with no competition. Cillian Murphy as the CIA chief and Luke Evans from the KGB are also great. The frequent time jumping is slightly confusing at first, but it gets proper meaning as the film progresses and there are surprisingly enough unexpected twists. There could have been more action, but when it comes down to it, you'll be sweating pretty hard. The five-minute restaurant scene in one take rivals John Wick, and cutting guys with a torn plate instead of a knife is an awesome idea! There are more than enough headshots and dead bodies. I had fun, just what I needed at the movies this summer. 80% (16/07/2019)
