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.

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!

Sheep Movie Review: John Wick: Chapter 2

John Wick: Chapter 2

Cast: Keanu Reeves
Genre: Action & Adventure, Drama
Runtime: 122 minutes
Studio: Summit Entertainment
In this next chapter following the 2014 hit, legendary hitman John Wick (Keanu Reeves) is forced back out of retirement by a former associate plotting to seize control of a shadowy international assassins' guild. Bound by a blood oath to help him, John travels to Rome where he squares off against some of the world's deadliest killers.

I was a big fan of this franchise after seeing the first installment of Mr Wick. Not only do I LOVE Keanu, I also happen to really love over the top high octane action and excessive bloody violence. Yeah, I'm American, so what! Give me a good ole bang-bang shoot'em up any day of the week. John Wick deuce does not let you down! It picks your ass up and throws you against a car windshield over, and over again!

My BFF Jeni (RIP) was also a huge fan of this one and she didn't get a chance to see part two but I can pretty much guess what she would say. She would love it! It's over the top and every single NRA guilty pleasure you've been having wet dreams about. I got a girl boner a time or two, I wont lie about that! John knows how to handle any weapon and damn, but is that a turn on! Meow!!! He just does not age. Or maybe he's like Benny Button and aging in reverse.

Not only is the action freaking amazing, the story itself keeps you sucked right in to this underworld of dark and mysterious characters. I love every single twist and turn. Plus, the film leaves it wide open for the next chapter. So deal me in. Deal. Me. In!
