Hanna is terrific!
Hanna (Saoirse Ronan) is
smart, athletic, capable, and almost entirely innocent. Her father (Eric Bana) taught her how
to hunt, shoot, and fight, but nothing of the actual world and the people in
it. When the deliciously evil Cate
Blanchett comes after them both, young Hanna must learn on the run. And learn she does.
And so goes a fast, exciting action thriller punctuated with
rousing set-pieces and propelled by a driving electronic score. Hanna’s fights make sense in that we
know who is doing what to whom and why.
Her journey makes sense both in terms of her personal development and
its service to the plot. We care
about her, we hate her enemies, and we have a great time at the movies. What more can we ask for?
