Everything was quite clear in the movie, except for the 4 moons thing which isn't explained anywhere...really, there's nothing too difficult to understand, i guess a lot of things went lost in translation; i've watched it in original language and pretty much all of the questions you ask are answered in the movie.
- They didn't remove Anna's memory. She already lost it when the French police found her.
Uhm...no ? She was just in shock when the police first finds her during a grey wolves attack to some turkish underground factory.
Anna was a member of turkish mafia in Paris, specifically a drug courier.
One day she decides to change her life, turns against the turkish mafia, hides the drug and uses the money to have her face changed.
Grey wolves start to look for her:
- Grey Wolves didn't commit the murder, their leader Azer Akarca did. Not for any particular reason, he is a sadist obsessed with the Nemrut statues (http://www.allaboutturkey.com/highres/photos/nemrut.jpg), his "artistic" inspiration for mutilating the faces of his victims.
Of course there's a reason. Grey Wolves can't find Anna/Sema and they assume she had her face slightly changed; Azer starts killing all turkish girls who look like Sema (all murdered girls look almost the same and they all resemble her, it's mentioned in the movie that grey wolves made 3 mistakes before finding Anna). When grey wolves are close to finding Anna (i think they broke in some turkish underground factory or something, where Anna was working and set the place on fire or something, don't remember) the police arrives and saves the girl, who's then interrogated as a witness before agents of the anti-terroristic division carry her away to use for their experiments: which consist in erasing a person's memory, give them a new identity and have him/her enter a terroristic organizations to help the police.
She's the perfect specimen, since she's turkish, has no documents and basically no identity in paris: little did the police know that she was actually a member of the turkish mafia.
2. Jean Reno has the same necklace as that skinny turkish killer. Are the members of the same organization? Reno isn't turkish at all, so why would he be in that organization?
Jean Reno is a member of the organization. His character is probably turkish or he made turkish mafia believe he is. What isn't clear is if Reno is an underground agent working as a police contact inside the organization or if he too is a former member who's decided to turn against the turkish mafia.
3. Why did they even add the whole mind-erasing story to the movie? Does it have any meaning or is it just to make the movie longer?
Well...It's part of the story.
If Sema's memory wasn't erased and she wasn't given a new identity by the police, grey wolves would probably have found her earlier and a lot of things in the movie wouldn't have happened.
4. What part do the drugs take in the movie?
Sema was a drug courier for the turkish mafia...When she recovers from amnesia she goes looking for the drug; not for the drug itself, probably because she needs the weapons she's hidden with it to take revenge on the organization.
5. Why does the turkish killer kill the other turkish workers, when he actually knows how anna looks like (the secretary had no problem in recognizing her face, and that was prior to that mind-influencing thing).
No, they don't know exactly what Anna looks like after she has disappeared.
They assume she had her face changed, so they start looking for and killing all turkish women who could resemble her. The turkish killer keeps going to the 'patisserie' where Anna works to understand if it could really be her; if he knew for sure, he would have killed her right away. Well, not that he has problems killing girls he's not even sure about, but maybe he's just more careful with Anna, because she seems to be a french citizen, not a turkish illegal immigrant no one knows about.
What secretary ??
