A low-average score shows our people didn't get into this movie. Yes, of course - the Russian man's numerous blunders of the film in its Russian part and the mundane KGB can irritate. But I suspect these blunders are actually deliberate.
At one time, I remember being fascinated by Element 5 as a beautiful parody of space operas. Then - surprised by the fact that the highest box office success of this film had in the United States. Then, I thought, I understood why -- Americans took it not as a parody, but as a matter of fact -- in the comic-book culture that Marvel is now successfully parasitizing.
"Anna" in this sense is Besson's self-parody of "Nikta." A beautiful girl who is forced by circumstances to turn into a super-murderer.
Only Nikita was serious, and Anna was no longer. But with all the brilliance and pomp. Not just a beautiful girl, but a supermodel. As a recruiter - not just some regular agent Bob, but the leadership of the KGB. And the girl is not just an agent, but a double and triple, fighting like a god of war and a brilliant chess player.
A wildly twisted plot, a bunch of beautiful women, cars, sex and fights - all you need to rest your eyes. And all this is seasoned with a subtle European banter over the canons of the genre, which an unsophisticated viewer can take for blunders, secondaryness and primitivism. What he (the audience) judging by the estimates of the film successfully and does.
