Anna (2019)

  You want to talk about a law of diminishing returns.  Yeesh.  Luc Besson has been making the same movie over and over and every time it gets a little less smart, a little less cool, despite newer effects, newer actresses, and more style.

Anna (Sasha Luss) is a Russian assassin placed in a top-tier modeling agency as a cover so she can fly around the world completing her assignments.  She is promised her freedom after five years but soon finds the constant lying and killing to be a real drag.  And that's before she's caught by CIA agent Lenny Miller (Cillian Murphy) and forced to become a double agent.

As long as you're not expecting high art, this is a fun popcorn movie.  Great for those isolating-in-place days when you're mindlessly scrolling through every streaming service you have looking for something, anything you haven't seen before.  If you just want to watch pretty people be violent, here you go.
