Hanna - Movie Review

Her name is Hanna and is hundred times more lethal than any other girl of her age.  But wait a second, her last name is not Montana and she does not sing or act on kids TV shows. The Hanna that we are talking about is a cold blooded killer trained by her father in the art of killing for surviving.



Welcome to another CIA spy movie. This time “Hanna” came from the hand of Director Joe Wright, The Soloist (2008), Pride and Prejudice (2005), Atonement (2007) and others, less, memorable movies. 

Joe makes his big shot by introducing his more recently action movie called Hanna, who is supposed to be the close female version of Jason Burn, but that is something that is far a way of being seeing.


 Plot

The movie begging showing us that Hanna (Saoirse Ronan) lives out in the wilderness with her father Erick (Eric Bana).  Erick trained Hanna to be alert every moment, even if she is sleeping, and teach her to killing, if it is necessary to survive. This kind of life led her to the idea that there is not time for having friends and a normal life like every single teenager of her age.  Her unique comfort is a book of fairy tales but her father concerns are beyond simple things.

When he agrees that she is ready to live among other people. Erik plans to keep their identities a secret from agents who are following them. Both take different ways and agree to meet at a predestined spot. Over and over, she rehearses her identity and story with Erik.

Hanna is captured by government agents, but scape. When Hanna and Erik are on the run, they are spotted and monitored by government forces, in special from a mysterious woman (Cate Blanchett) whom Hanna is supposed to kill. Simultaneously, Hanna must learn about the world around her.

In General

Hanna is a nice movie for killing some time. The story is simple and there are no much to tell about it. The action could be for some moments good, but there are moments in which looks like a teen movie. Something to highlight is the amazing Original sound track of the movie. The geinus behind the OST were the unique "Chemical Brothers." For moments it brings armony and let you feel that you are running with Hanna, and in others it stays in your mind for hours.

Hanna, love it or hate it.  

See for yourself.
