In 1985, in Moscow, the KGB headed by Vassiliev finds and eliminates several CIA agents operating in Russia. Their heads are cut off and sent to the US Embassy as a message3 yrs later, Anna (Sasha Luss), a beautiful woman who has been the victim of domestic abuse with her boyfriend Petyr (Alexander Petrov), sees no point in continuing her life. She is forced to participate in stealing money from the credit cards of a kidnapped foreigner, which is resists, but is beaten up by Petyr. In a turning point of her life, she reluctantly accepts an offer by KGB officer Alex (Luke Evans) to serve the KGB for 5 yrs (she had applied to serve the Russian Navy, but is picked up by Alex due to her military pedigree (her dad also served in the Navy)After a year of training, she is to work as a KGB assassin for five years under a handler named Olga (Helen Mirren), after which she will be free to continue her life as she pleases. Olga is reluctant to take on Anna under her department as she thinks Anna is just a pretty face who can be used as a honey trap. But Anna impresses her with her knowledge and her ability to play chess. Olga assigns Anna to kill a Russian drug lord at his HQ in under 5 mins. Anna doesn't know that the gun provided to her is unloaded and the Drug lord is surrounded by his army of bodyguards. Anna fights through the entire contingent and finally kills her mark, but is later by over 1 minute. Olga classifies Anna as a failure, but agrees to try her out, when Anna refuses to act like a victim.KGB head Vassiliev (Eric Godon) is not willing to honor this agreement, implying that the only way out of the KGB is death. Olga convinces Vassiliev by saying that agents don't usually survive 5 yrs in her department. Vassiliev also doubts Anna as KGB has no leverage on her. She has no ties in Russia.She goes undercover as a fashion model and is hired to work in Paris. Olga and her team coordinate to ensure that the Agency's scouting agent "finds" Anna at a Russian vegetable market when he is looking for talent in Moscow. Anna is shifted to Paris, where she takes on a lesbian lover Maud (Lera Abova), whom she uses as a cover during her assignments. At the same time she completes various missions and assassinations, while cleverly using a body double to avoid capture and identification by the CIA or the local Police. She is closely tracked by Olga. When she returns to Moscow during assignments she starts having sex with Alex. Anna is still worried about Vassiliev's threat and wants to get her freedom in 5 yrs. she makes the same clear to Alex.When she is found out by the CIA she agrees to work for them as a double agent with Agent Miller (Cillian Murphy) as her handler, in exchange for the promise of immediate retirement after a year of service and a protected life in Hawaii. Miller protects Anna and she starts having sex with him as well, knowing fully well that Olga was keeping complete track of all her movements.Miller later tasks her with assassinating Vassiliev, with the CIA hoping that his absence would lead to smoother relations with the KGB. Miller tells Anna how he was the head of CIA in Moscow when Vassilie killed 9 US agents in one day and hence they don't have any real assets in Russia now and need to rely on Anna. Anna kills Vassiliev and fights her way out of the KGB. She doesn't kill Alex but then doesn't meet miller at the rendezvous point either. Miller thinks Anna has gone rogue. She later arranges a meet with Alex and Miller, bartering information she stole from the two agencies in exchange for a six month reprieve. As she is leaving, she is ambushed by Olga and fatally shot for her betrayal. However, she uses a body double (Nastya Sten) to fake her death and escape.It is revealed that Olga had earlier discovered Anna's association with the CIA and the planned assassination of Vassiliev. Both women conspired to go along with the CIA's plan so that Olga could succeed Vassiliev and later faked Anna's execution to fool both agencies and set Anna free. Olga views a recorded message left for her by Anna, who expresses her gratitude to Olga but reveals she kept evidence of Olga's involvement in Vassiliev's murder in case Olga betrays her.

The girl is being interrogated by special services, but she has absolutely nothing to tell them on this fact. She looks scared, and no one suspects her. Anna goes free and begins preparing for a new business. Under the guise of a fragile beauty, is hiding the world's most dangerous assassin, who has not yet misfired. — Peter-Patrick76 (peter-patrick@mail.com)
