As I read it: Wright's logic is, "If you're going to employ fairy-tale/cultural reference flash or indie/arthouse mannerisms, be a little psychotic about it. Drive them into the red where they start to break down, and you might discover some feeling in the pure image." I'm on the fence there, but I enjoyed his argument. I'm definitely a big fan of his handling of the post-feminist heroine. Alternative Review: one hell of a music video.

"Hanna", a stylish and visceral combination of two essentially different genres -the coming-of-age tale and the revenge thriller- is a perversely enjoyable and surprisingly touching endeavor. Directed with plenty of visual panache by talented craftsman Wright and elevated by a superb performance by Ronan, "Hanna" works not only because of the suspenseful plot and the frantic action scenes, but also because of its unexpectedly tender emotional kernel. It's top-notch entertainment with a heart.

Great first part, but after that nothing happened. The bad guys are really poor, with Cate Blanchett in the lead. Personally, I wanted to see more of bad-ass Hanna, than of the "I've never been kissed" Hanna. In the end, you just don't care....
Oh yeah... I had expected way more from the Chemical Brothers, but they failed as well...

A teen with superpowers inexplicably lets herself be chased by a villainess who wants to catch her for no real purpose (eventually a flimsy family drama unfolds and the mandatory gibberish about secret experiments, but only to further confound reason). To call this movie full of shit would be an understatement. It's an over-stylized, cliched exercise in stupidity.

In an almost Kubrick way of fashion Joe Wright knows how to mix and match sound with pictures like few living directors. 'Hanna' is yet another proof and depicts new and quirky sides of his immense talent flirting with Lynch-surrealism and challenging several filmmaking conventions. The story is bordering of non-existing but every piece of frame and audio demands - and deserves - your utmost attention. Plus, of course, behold the brilliance of Saoirse Ronan - the world's #1 rising star by far.

Originally shot, beautiful cinematgraphy, great set peices, superb sound track, wonderful lead actress .. .this film had everything going for it ... oh, except a coherent plot! I have been told this is a "character lead" film. .... It isnt. No character or their motives are fleshed out and it leads to the final frame where you ask yourself "Yes ... but WHY ?". the UK 12A certificate is annoying because a film about "an assassin" should not hide from its subject matter behind cut-aways

Hanna is a deeply flawed film. But it is still one hell of a film. There's a lot of pleasures to be found: the cool Chemical Brothers music, the surprisingly muted, carefully calibrated and coolly detached action sequences that add menace and atmosphere, the simple narrative that nevertheless engages the viewer, the vibrant locales, the terrific cinematography, the overt references to the Grimm fairy tales, and of course Saoirse Ronan, who truly speaks volumes with her eyes.

Awesome soundtrack and some respectable action scenes don't quite outweigh the lack of any depth to the thinly plotted story and Wright can't quite pull off quirky-cool.

It starts of amazing. But as soon as the villains are introduced the film becomes forgettable. They pose no threat and are simply way too weak compared to Hanna and Erik which both are great characters.

Despite unpolished plot it still has much to offer. Chemical Bro's good soundtrack, S.Ronan as little miss badass and some nice photography. Special mention deserves T.Hollander and his skinhead band. Their appearance made some really good laughs.

You can give it points for trying something different with a fairy tale subtext and the general surreal feeling, but despite Hanna's simple plot centered on getting to a location, the film itself doesn't have much direction. There's no real drive heading in to the final confrontation, and without that everything collapses into a heap on the floor. Some worthwhile elements that do not cohere into a whole.

Wright shows immense amount of talent in terms of pacing, mood, editing. What could have been truly memorable just saves it's runtime, not due to simplicity of the story, but simplistic treatment of it.

hanna enters in a flash of glory; a trailblazing, uninhibited piece of tumultuous pop-art genius, which expands brightly and holds steady for almost a miraculous hour, then slowly deflates and gives way to its hackneyed, unavoidable roots of genre.

Great soundtrack, couple of laughs, solid action, stylish direction and amiable characters. I appreciate the slow(ish) pace, would like to see it be even a bit longer for some extra building up maybe.

What could've easily been a pretty ordinary action flick is actually a really exciting and off-kilter action flick. Although it's quickly paced it features some breathing room and fight scenes where you actually get to see blows exchanged. The varied and visually interesting locations, neat soundtrack, and fine performances (Ronan's character is also convincingly formidable) make it seem like there's more to the film than just what's on the surface, even if that's not really the case.

This one is better than Columbiana, but not as fun as Salt, but not as pretentious as Haywire, still more action packed than Gone and the less said about Resident Evil: Retribution the better.

Really cool action film. Although it paints a familiar story that feels underdeveloped at times, the characters remain grounded in winsome simplicity, gathering considerable momentum as the film progresses, all of which is backed up with some fine performances. Wright's kinetic approach only enhances the experience. With this and "Atonement", alternating between and succesfully tackling different genres is made to look like child's play. Wouldn't mind seeing more of this.

This is an action movie through and through, make no mistake. There is, however, just enough charm and storytelling under the skin to keep it compelling to everyone else. Ronan's acting as the ubiquitous Hanna is spot on, capturing all of the wonder and innocence of a teenage girl; that is, until it's time for the gloves to come off and the killer inside her erupts in a glorious dance of blisteringly precise choreography and finesse. Hanna is a killer, and so is this film. 4/5.

Hanna never feels like an original film by any means. Every concept has been seen before. However it still manages to really entertain due to the skillful cinematography and fast-paced action. Additionally Cate Blanchett and Eric Bana really make two of the lead roles in the film shine where lesser actors would have made them simply filler. This is the first time I've seen Saoirse Ronan but I'll certainly keep an out for her after this because she's very good.

Easily the worst in the franchise. The weak plot is full of holes and they never attempt to explain why Bourne is disguised as a little girl.

Everything Eric Bana touches seems to end up horrible, which is fitting his talent level. What good Hanna possess is ultimately wrenched out by too much involvement and meddling by either the scriptwriters, editor or director. Even the well shot action sequences come off as choreographed and stilted.

Quite a bit of fun, this one. The soundtrack by The Chemical Brothers, the minimalist set design and costuming, and the fact that the action star is an expressive teenage girl played by Saoirse Ronan give a lot of the scenes (especially the foot chases) the feel of a music video. The reason I wouldn't rate this movie higher, though, is the story - while I enjoy its simplicity the big twist is too easy to guess and too common in films over the past few decades.

Not a great film. It's atil quite entertaining and well done. Saorise Ronan is as good as ever and it's a fairly gritty thriller. I also liked the Chemical Brothers soundtrack. Overall it's a pretty click movie.

Teenage girl is trained by her ex-CIA father to become a perfect killing machine, and then she's let loose to fend for herself in a world she's never had to live in... slightly predictable but incredibly well-acted (watch out for Saorsie Ronan), looks really good, and doesn't shy away from bad things happening to good people. Best new action flick I've seen all year.

The beginning was really exciting and then it fell terribly short. What happened?! This could have been one hellava movie, but it ran out of steam, and definitely ran into a brick wall with the storyline--at least for the 2nd part of the movie. I was looking forward to seeing this int the movie theaters but life happened and I couldn't get it in. I'm so glad I didn't. I would have been even more disappointed than when I watched it from Netflix. I really did enjoy the first half.

The fact that the protagonist was a young girl probably made this movie feel slightly more interesting. It's a cool premise to begin with, but adding the female element (including the fact that the main antagonist is also female) makes it feel like an even more genuine experience. Highly enjoyable action film that deserves to be seen.

What we're given by Joe Wright, whose past filmography stands at the opposite end of the spectrum, is a revenge thriller with memorable performances, a fantastic soundtrack, attractive cinematography, and some of the best damn action scenes I have ever seen, resulting in one of the best action films of the past 20 years--even with its limp script. Ronan's callous demeanor and meticulous movements make her absolutely perfect for the part. Go watch this, I guarantee you'll at least like it.

Hanna starts strong, but the overall film can't overcome the weaknesses of the director's desire to shoehorn the story into the odd fairytale motif. Worse yet, the film is discomfortingly tonally inconsistent with characters making decisions that run counter to everything established, turning the film needlessly somber and pretentiously taking itself too serious. Joe Wright can direct action, but seems to have no idea where to go with it.

A really exciting action/thriller packed with scenes of a young girl believably kicking all kinds of ass, and great music from the Chemical Brothers. There's a little bit of shaky cam in parts, but the camera work is mostly really good, including a couple of wonderfully choreographed continuous takes with the camera weaving in and out of the action. Plus, it has Cate Blanchett shooting little old grannies. Straight forward but stylish and fun.

The fight scenes are rather dull for this viewer, but the surreal approach to marrying the action genre with fairy tales is quite surprising. Watching this five years after release, parts of the soundtrack already seem quite dated. Several scenes provide further evidence that Blanchett is the most overrated actress of modern times. Would make an interesting double feature with UNIVERSAL SOLDIER: DAY OF RECKONING, although this is perhaps less thematically rich.

I absolutely adored this. The almost surreal - but somehow completely palatable - blend of various styles, aesthetics and genres from scene to scene is mesmerizing and beautiful, accompanied by what must surely be the best movie soundtrack of the year. Down to earth and all over the place all at once. I can't remember last I had this much of a pure good time at the cinema.

A mostly cool, exciting piece of work that fails to stick the landing. I thought the first and second acts were awesome, possibly even hinting at greatness (I would rate them like 80), but the third act loses its way and ends up a little anticlimactic (I'd give it a 60). I'd still check it out though if you're into assassins and shit. Saoirse Ronan nails it. Awesome music all the way through, too.

"Hanna" has a massively enjoyable mish-mash of styles, and I loved the soundtrack. I suppose if you're being critical, the plot is very simple, but the action and strength of the direction is more than strong enough to paper over the cracks. It's just an awful lot of fun and I'm a sucker for a revenge flick. I also enjoyed Bana's excellent Schwarzenegger voice impression that he seemed to be attempting and it's true... we do like a kettle in our hotel room.

Great soundtrack, and very very stylish. It's nice to see an action movie (though it's kind of light on action) shot in a pretty original way. It handles the innocence and assassin aspects well. I don't know why they thought the ending was a good idea (I mean the very last like, 5 minutes or something). The action scenes are well shot, though. I wouldn't say the plot itself is anything real special, and due to everything I've talked about... this movie is quite a bit different than I expected.

I'm surprised Luc Besson wasn't involved with this film in any way, because story and style of Hanna is very reminiscent of later period Besson. It is an attempt at 'cool' action movie, but I feel Wright wasn't the one to direct it. Tone of the film is hardly likable and it's never clear what was the purpose of it all. Bana should be banned from appearing on screen. Score by Chemical Brothers is something everyone mentions when talking about Hanna but I found it average at best.

Nell meets Jason Bourne...and then kicks some ass. Hanna may not be the ultra-violent action orgy that many were expecting, but its still very cool. The soundtrack is one of the most perfect "fits" in recent memory and Blanchett is wonderful (of course). Hit Girl may win if it came to a show down, but I'd pick Hanna to be on my team any day.

"I just missed your heart." Indeed, dear Hanna. Though the action is thrilling, it's difficult to find yourself cheering for the protagonist, aside from the fact that she's a young girl who's never had the opportunity to experience anything of the outside world. The villains, especially Cate Blanchett's campy, OTT govt. agent with an accent that oozes like molasses, are like D-grade Bond rip-offs. The fairytale parallels start out charming then are beaten over the viewer's head.
