  • [3]Gimly @RuuzTMDB review · Dec 28, 2019 · Rated 3/10

    If Red Sparrow was the crap version of Atomic Blonde, when the Hell does that make the crap version of Red Sparrow? ...Fuckin' Anna I guess. Final rating:★½: - Boring/disappointing. Avoid where possible.

  • [4]sporkproductions @sporkproductionsTMDB review · Aug 13, 2021 · Rated 7/10

    I'm a sucker for Luc Besson's films. Even when they're bad they're better than most of the action schlock churned out both by Hollywood and cash-grab direct-to-video indies. There is a lot I could rip to shreds from the implausibility of pretty much everything that happens to the less-than-stellar acting at times... but that's not why one watches a Luc Besson film. It's a wild and fun ride that doesn't let up and …

  • [5]JPV852 @JPV852TMDB review · Sep 18, 2019 · Rated 7/10

    Decent enough 1980s-era espionage action-thriller that pretty much combines Atomic Blonde, Red Sparrow and Besson's La Femme Nikita. Sasha Luss in the lead was quite good and the fight scenes were well choreographed. The story isn't special but twists were good and it did keep me entertained thanks to a nice supporting cast, especially Helen Mirren. 3.5/5

  • [1]CinemaSerf @Geronimo1967TMDB review · Nov 27, 2022 · Rated 6/10

    Luckily, Luc Besson has just enough notoriety left over to stimulate a bit of interest in his films. Had that not remained the case, then this derivative effort would probably never have seen the light of day. It tells the tale of the young model "Anna" (Sasha Luss) who is recruited by "Tchenkov" (Luke Evans) and his boss "Olga" (Dame Helen Mirren) to work for the KGB. She has the looks, the beauty - and the ninja …

  • [2]The Movie Mob @mooney240TMDB review · Nov 19, 2022 · Rated 5/10

    In a genre filled with solid spy action thrillers with small budgets, Anna disappoints even with a solid cast and experienced director. My hopes were high with the promise of a spy film with a John Wick-type female protagonist and a supporting cast with Luke Evans, Helen Mirren, and Cillian Murphy. But Anna doesn't even manage to entertain. The screen time is chewed up by developing her undercover identity, her …

How this was made: an AI model (deepseek-v4-flash) read 34 of the 160 public posts we collected about this film and wrote the summary, likes and dislikes, citing the posts behind each point ([n] opens the post). A second AI pass checked every statement against the posts it cites; anything it could not match was removed, and code removed any statement with quotation marks, numbers that are not in the posts, or unattributed claims about people. The split is counted from the posts’ own ratings. Generated Oct 9, 2026. Method

Critics, per Wikipedia

Anna grossed $7.7 million in the United States and Canada, and $25.1 million in other territories, for a worldwide total of $32.8 million. In the United States and Canada, the film opened alongside Child's Play and Toy Story 4, and was expected to gross $2–4 million from 2,150 theaters in its opening weekend. It made $1.4 million on its first day, including $325,000 from Thursday night previews. It went on to debut to $3.5 million, finishing 11th at the box office. On Rotten Tomatoes, the film holds an approval rating of 34% based on 71 reviews, with an average rating of 4.9/10. The site's critical consensus reads, "Anna finds writer-director Luc Besson squarely in his wheelhouse, but fans…

    I do hope this book will be translated. It tells the story of Anna Sten, the first Ukrainian actress to make it to Hollywood. Born in Kyiv, she survived the famine of the 1920s and became a film star in the Soviet Union and Europe. By the early 1930s, her name was known across America.
