Anna arrives on Plex
Luc Besson’s Anna is set to join Plex, a free streaming site, on November 1. The film is presented as an option for viewers seeking an alternative to the John Wick franchise.
Sasha Luss plays the title character, described as one of the world’s most feared government assassins. Helen Mirren and Luke Evans also appear in the film.
A mixed reception
Critics gave Anna a negative response, while audiences reacted more favorably. The film is among Murphy’s less widely recognized movies. The article does not specify Murphy’s role in Anna, but its account highlights the film as a choice for fans of the actor.
