Directed by: Joe Wright
Genre: Thriller,
Release Date: April 8, 2011
Running Time: 123 minutes
MMPA rating: PG-13
The Good: A few good choreographed fight scenes but you see everything in the trailer, It started out ok,
The Bad: Many questions are asked and never anwsered, It couldn't decide what it wanted to be and it ended up being pointless, Awful soundtrack that distracted from the movie, The plot is not focused enough on any one thing, On the Blu-Ray verison the soundtrack over powers the movie's audio (which we assume is the same for all verisons),
Plot: Hanna Heller (Saoirse Ronan) is a 16-year-old girl who lives with her father, Erik Heller (Eric Bana) in the wilderness of Finland. Ever since she was two years old, Hanna has been trained by Erik to become a multilingual assassin. As part of her training, she has never come into contact with modern technology and has memorized a series of fake back stories for herself to be used "when the time comes".
One night, Hanna tells Erik that she is "ready", and he gives her a box containing an old transmitter that will alert the outside world to their presence. After analyzing the situation, Hanna flips the switch, sending a signal of her location to Marissa Wiegler (Cate Blanchett), a CIA officer. Marissa sends a team to Erik's cabin, where Hanna, who had been waiting for them, is captured and taken to a CIA safe house in Morocco. There, she discovers that Erik is a former CIA agent who betrayed the agency and knows a secret that cannot become public. Marissa has been assigned to kill him, but Erik has trained Hanna to kill Marissa. Knowing that Hanna was captured too easily, Wiegler sends a body double (Michelle Dockery) to speak with Hanna. Not trusting the double, Hanna asks the body double where she met her father. The double who is being fed answers through an ear piece by Marissa answers the questions correctly and Hanna seemingly becomes upset by the answers and crawls into the lap of the double and sobs into the double's shoulder, prompting officials within the compound to send more officials into the holding cell she is being held in to sedate her to calm her down. But Hanna then kills the double, and the doctor and the officials who enter the holding cell, breaks free and escapes the compound. If you want to see what happens next watch the movie but we do not recommend it.
Plot: 3.5/10- Hanna's plot is really disjointed and a lot of questions are asked and never anwsered.
Action: 7.6/10- The movie's fight were well choreographed but the best parts of the movie are in the trailer which is very misleading.
Acting: 7.2/10- The acting overall was good but nothing great.
Special effects: N/A
Soundtrack: 0.1/10- It is rare that a soundtrack makes a movie worst but the soundtrack over powered the audio of the movie. Also the soundtrack distracted from the movie and made it hard to watch.
Comedy: 6.7/10- The movie had some humor.
Overall: 3.2/10- Overall Hanna is not a good movie the plot is pointless and never amounts to anything.
Closing comments: Hanna could have been a great movie but it ended up being mediocre.
Disclaimer: We guess we can see a few people liking the movie but we didn't.
Recommended for: It is hard to recommend it to anyone.
