Hanna
4/5
Full of mystery and teaming with suspense, action and adventure. This is the movie Hanna.
Hanna (Saoise Ronan) is a mysterious little girl with a questionable past. She was trained by her father Erik (Eric Bana) to carry out an intricate mission which takes her across Europe. Trained to kill if necessary, Hanna is more than capable of putting any opposition to rest. Especially when they are distracted by her child like innocence. Hanna's past, which is shrouded in mystery, is slowly revealed to her as she is hunted by Marissa (Cate Blanchett) a CIA agent with strange ties to the girl.
One of the first things you'll notice in this movie is its cinematography. It was unique and creative, almost avant-garde. But most importantly it aided in telling the story. Director Joe Wright also did a great job of balancing action with the story element. The action was shocking, riveting and full of emotion and there was just enough of it to keep you watching yet not distract from the suspenseful plot twists.
The story was wonderfully written, giving the audience just enough information to surprise them later. Although a few minor elements of the story were a little predictable, the important parts weren't, and that's what made this movie a great mystery.
Now although the story was good it still seemed to drag on just a tad bit too long. It was somewhere between the point where all is revealed to the audience and the tragic ending where the plot begins to hang. But the remaining 90 minutes was entertaining enough to dismiss it, which is why I give it:
4/5 Stars
