Why watch?

John Woo doing action his way — the gunfights are choreographed like a dance, characters move with this strange grace even when they're shooting, and the whole thing feels more stylish than your standard thriller. Sam Worthington and Omar Sy as assassins forced to work together with constant tension underneath is what keeps it interesting. Don't expect something deep or life-changing, but if you like movies where movement and style matter more than plot, it's worth your time.

Who is it for?

For action-thriller fans who want something tense in the evening — John Woo puts plenty of explosions and gunfights on screen. If you liked Man on Fire or Sicario, where the lead character is focused and brutal, this hits the same note. It's got heavy violence, blood, and explosions, so not for kids.

If you dug The Killer for its tense cat-and-mouse setup between pros with clashing codes, check out Bullet Train or Baby Driver — both trap sharp characters in escalating violence they can't walk away from. Anna has that same vibe: composed woman, one mistake, now everything unravels fast and messy.

Nathalie Emmanuel plays Zee, a feared assassin known as the Queen of the Dead who's spent years perfecting her craft with surgical precision. When she refuses to kill a young blind woman during a job, everything unravels — other mercenaries want her dead for the betrayal, and detective Omar Sy is closing in. John Woo directs this with his signature style of brutal action sequences that feel almost balletic, turning a simple refusal into a full-scale manhunt. If you loved Atomic Blonde or the recent John Wick films, you know what you're walking into — stylish, violent, and impossible to look away from.
