Tonight on TV: Do you like Nikita and Lucy? Luc Besson has good news for you!

Five years after the success of Lucy (5,187,049 releases at the national box office), Luc Besson decided to make a big hit with an action film against the background of a thriller, with a five-star cast (as is often the case).

Want another TV tip tonight? We recommend this suspense film, one of the best of Alfred Hitchcock and James Stewart, rated 4 out of 5!

Coming to theaters in 2019, Anna tells the story of a twenty-four-year-old young woman who seems to have a real hidden side. Is he a simple doll seller in a Moscow market? A top model parades in Paris? An assassin causing trouble in Milan? A corrupt cop? A double agent? Or just a great chess player? You’ll have to wait until the end of the game to find out who Anna really is.

Playing this very mysterious young blonde on screen, Luc Besson chose not Scarlett Johansson or Ann Parrillo, but a Russian model and actress: Sasha Lucy. In addition to seducing the greatest couturiers, she also won Leon’s father’s heart because she had already played in Valerian and the City of a Thousand Planets.

In the casting we meet actors well known to the general public, such as Helen Mirren (who is none other than the narrator of Barbie), Luke Evans (Fast and Furious), Cillian Murphy (Oppenheimer) or even Lera Abova (One). pieces).

Luc Besson reconnected with Nikita

If you follow a career Luc BessonYou will probably notice similarities between them Anna and his two other films: Lucy and Nikita. As with these two thrillers, it’s about a strong and attractive woman (some would even go so far as to say a “bad woman cliché”) drawn into the violent world of confidential affairs.

From a mocking and desperate woman, Anna transforms into a murderer and a torturer. Once again, the top model becomes a secret agent and completes difficult missions to gain freedom. This creates scenes that take your breath away (we’re thinking of the sequences in which Sasha Lucy attacks the Russians with three-man suits).

In short, a real action entertainer that meets the specifications, but without reaching the heights, as evidenced by the low rating from the press: 2.1 out of 5. Fortunately, the reviews are more flattering.

Among them we can read: “The great return of Luc Besson, which surpasses the codes of his first cinematic works”, “Really good besson”, “This new Luc Besson movie is just great”or even “An excellent film in which Besson joins his vein Nikita“. And you, seduced?
