Review: Hanna

Hanna is an action/thriller about an isolated young girl raised to be an assassin that spends far too long without much action or anything particularly thrilling.

This film would actually benefit from using the Taken approach and just focus on filling 90 minutes of travelling across Europe & North Africa stabbing, shooting, kicking and killing people in a quest for revenge. Instead what we get after a promising start is a film that gets ideas above its station and throws in a load of clumsy metaphors, morphing into coming of age road movie that completely kills any momentum built up by the well-choreographed and shot action sequences.

Saoirse Ronan plays the title role really well, but the sadly the infuriating inconsistency begin to add up - add on ending that you can see coming a mile off means that despite when Hanna is good its really good, the film ends up a bit of a disappointment.
