Critics Consensus

Anna finds writer-director Luc Besson squarely in his wheelhouse, but fans of this variety of stylized action have seen it all done before -- and better.

Read Critics Reviews

Adam Graham

Detroit News

[Besson is] riffing on spy movies and their inherent double crosses and triple crosses, stopping just short of parody but letting the audience in on the trick. And thanks to Besson and a willing cast, the trick's a pretty good one.

Rated: B

Benjamin Lee

Guardian

What ultimately sinks the film is its overwhelming blandness, from the lack of creativity employed in Anna's many kills to Besson's inability to choreograph a pulse-racing action scene...

Rated: 2/5

AV Club

But unlike Besson's bugnuts, energetically dopey Scarlett Johansson vehicle Lucy, Anna is more invested in winking at the audience than being fun.

Rated: C-

Robert W. Butler

Butler's Cinema Scene

Anna is a guilty pleasure, delivering just enough cheese/sleaze to satisfy a viewer’s baser instincts but wrapping it all up in a clever storytelling style that keeps us on our toes and guessing.

Rated: B-

Ready Steady Cut

Besson’s new film is an overly smug repackaging of his most acclaimed work, La Femme Nikita.

Rated: 2.5

Deep Focus Review

Watching Anna, one imagines that director Luc Besson saw both Atomic Blonde (2017) and Red Sparrow (2018) and then decided to put his spin on the beautiful Russian spy movie.

Rated: 1.5/4

It was good. I like the action but didn’t expect all the sex scenes. Was a little uncomfortable seeing it with my kids. Overall though I enjoyed the movie and my kids did as well.
