Anna - 安娜

Anna (安娜) is an 2019 film. The movie stars Sasha Luss. The supporting cast include Luke Evans, Cillian Murphy, Helen Mirren, and Alexander Petrov.



Anna is trained as an assiasin in mother Russia. As a spy, Anna is sent to France to work undercover as a model. In Paris, she settles in but the assignments start to come and she grows tired. Enter the CIA and they trap her. Working as a double agent now, which side will she choose?



This movie was entertaining for its action. Very much like Atomic Blonde but B level. Throw in a super complicated story and this movie is sort of a mess. But you have three highly reputable stars in supporting roles too. But all of it couldn't save a weak story. The twist and turns are expected in a spy flick, but these were not convincing.

Watch it for the action and eye candy. But skip it if you want a good story.

Dunkirk - 敦克爾克大行動

Dunkirk (敦克爾克大行動) is an 2017 film. The movie stars Fionn Whitehead, Tom Glynn-Carney, Jack Lowden, Harry Styles, Aneurin Barnard, James D'Arcy, Barry Keoghan, Kenneth Branagh, Cillian Murphy, Mark Rylance, and Tom Hardy. Christopher Nolan wrote, directed, and produced the film.

Dunkirk in the history books was the evacuation of the entire British forces from France. The Nazi's were baring down and faced certain defeat if not evacuated back to the Isles. The perspective was broken up into three parts. The first was on land and the actual soldiers trying to evacuate. The second was that of sea, where the regular citizens were sent to carry the troops back. The third was the aerial attacks to support the evacuations.

This movie was very well made. Suspenseful throughout. The film didn't follow a sequential timeline, but each of the three perspectives followed their timelines and eventually meet up at the end of the movie. In all cases, the story was carried out to make things suspenseful and the present war as very brutal.

The Story
A group of hired guns will go into a person's dream to extract valuable information. The way they do this is via a technique developed by the US armed forces to "share dreams" But these team members aren't just sharing dreams, they have roles to fill. A architect is someone who builds the dream and there are the guys the run missions in the dream. Dom and Arthur are a team and look for architects to make their living. Mr. Saito is looking to one up his competition and hires Dom. But this mission is different. This mission isn't to extract information but to plant an idea, Inception.

A must see for any movie fan of suspense trillers. Since the story is based on suspense and slow reveals, my synopsis is going to do the film justice. Its also a movie that's commanded quite a few discussions around the ending and beginning.

You'll get the highest of recommendations from me to watch this film and to watch it on the big screen.
