Anna (2019)
I’m a sucker for sleazy action movies set in Europe, so it’s no surprise that I recommend this movie. anna.Don’t get me wrong, this is not that good la femme nikita or red sparrow, the 2018 thriller that starred Jennifer Lawrence as a frequently nude assassin and was a huge hit around the world. But “Anna” has its own B-movie charm, with car chases through narrow cobbled streets, gunfights in crowded upscale restaurants, and esteemed actors like Helen Mirren and Luke Evans. With his incredible Russian accent, it’s well worth your time.
the plot is almost the same NikitaWorks: A downtrodden woman (Sasha Luz) is scouted by a shady organization ( annaKGB) to escape her terrible life. If she served faithfully for five years (i.e. killed someone), she would win her freedom. She respects her duty, but (surprisingly!) the KGB does not and tries to eliminate her. anna” director Luc Besson was also the director. Nikitaso the shameless impersonation is forgiven to some extent, and he still knows how to create good action scenes with tension, even after all these years. anna It won’t win any awards for originality, but it’s a great action movie to watch on a lazy Saturday afternoon.

But the film is better than expected, smart, funny, and one of his most underrated films in the genre.

Once there, she befriends her wild child Robin (Rebel Wilson) and lovesick Lucy (Alison Brie). All four women experience comic misfortune while searching for love and happiness in the Big Apple.Yes, I know, this sounds like sex and the city, but that’s not the case. Instead, the bittersweet romance is told in a humorous way, with a slightly sarcastic tone that softens the sweetness.
