Anna
After the crushing disappointing of sci-fi adventure Valerian And The City Of A Thousand Planets, French writer-director Luc Besson returns to familiar territory - female-fronted action thrillers - with this bone-crushing caper starring Russian supermodel Sasha Luss in the title role. Anna (Luss) contemplates taking her own life rather than endure more domestic abuse behind closed doors. She is recruited by KGB handler Olga (Dame Helen Mirren) to join the ranks of the Russian security agency. Anna agrees to undergo intensive training then serve her KGB masters for five years in return for a new life free from violence. KGB commander Vassiliev (Eric Godon) reneges on this deal and Anna is forced to continue her covert work or face the dire repercussions of disobedience. She goes undercover as a fashion model and CIA agent Leonard Miller (Cillian Murphy) blows her cover. The Americans recruit Anna to work for them and command her to return to Russia to assassinate Vassiliev. When Olga discovers the double-cross, she encourages her prized asset to complete the mission so she benefits from Vassiliev's demise.
