from IMDB
Beneath Anna Poliatova's striking beauty lies a secret that will unleash her indelible strength and skill to become one of the world's most feared government assassins.
Anna has similarity to Luc Besson's earlier movie La Femme Nikita but has a different story line.  Anna was recruited by the KGB as an assassin and at the same time she works as a runway and print fashion model. The spy thriller kept me guessing where it's going. It gets twistier than a pretzel as it progresses and the ending is so satisfying. The assassination scene at the restaurant is bloody entertaining. Helen Mirren and Luke Evans are okay playing Russian characters; Cillian Murphy is also good as American CIA agent.

Streaming on Amazon. I watched the DVD; don't miss the extras.
Highly recommended
