Hanna (Saoirse Ronan) is a 16 year old assassin, trained
from birth by Erik (Eric Bana) her ex-CIA “Papa.” She has only one mission in
life, to kill Marissa (Cate Blanchett) a ruthless operative, and well… it
sounds way more interesting than the movie actually was.
The movie alludes to the fact that Hanna was the subject of
an experiment to make the ultimate soldier, and somewhere along the like, Erik
tried to protect Hanna’s mother from Marissa who was bent on cleaning up loose
ends when the project was scrapped. That’s it, now you can movie to another
movie in the DVD queue. Basically the whole movie is Marissa hunting down Hanna
and the ultimate lackluster showdown.
The acting is bad, the accents are bad, the plot is lame, the
execution dragged on, and the fight scenes weren’t very entertaining. This was
one of the movies where I wanted Hanna to get killed and “let’s just get the
movie over with.” Somewhere along the line, Hanna hooks up with a dysfunctional
family whom she befriends, and really there’s no point to it. The director
apparently wanted us to see how this girl is finding out who she is, but fails. Add in that it's all in foreign lands with bizarre characters which never really get established, and have no point at all and you'll feel like some joke was just played on you, except you don't know the punchline.
I wouldn’t waste too much time deciding on the one.
