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.
Went to see Anna with my husband and 18-year-old daughter. I didn't have high expectations for the movie, but was pleasantly surprised! We all enjoyed it.

It was a little formulaic but Anna is a female John Wick...a Jane Wick. If you liked John Wick, you will probably like Anna. Who can say no to a murder-model music montage?
I'm not a big fan of the storytelling format they used. You watch a scene then they show you a flashback to what happened leading up to the scene. But it works for this movie.
There are great action scenes, a pretty woman, and Luke Evans...can't go wrong with that! You can probably figure out the twist at the end but it is still satisfying.
If you want to get out of the summer heat this is a good way to spend two hours in a theater. But it will be just as good on DVD if you need to save your movie-going-dollars for Spiderman coming up next month!
Holly gives it 4 1/2 Sheep
Don and I give it 4 "Bi*ch" Sheep

We liked this 27% rated movie (on Rotten Tomatoes) WAY MORE than Toy Story 4 with it's 98% rating. TS had an admirable, but very boring story line. Anna was popcorn fun.
ReplyDeleteAll that hype Toy Story has gotten...it's one I'll wait to rent. I was suprised at the low rating for Anna too!
