The action suspense thriller Hanna is directed by Joe Wright and stars Academy Award Nominee Saoirse Ronan, as Hanna and Eric Bana as her father Erik Heller. Hanna is unlike any action movie I’ve seen in a long time. It is a morality
quandary about right and wrong choices and their repercussions.
Hanna, it seems, is being raised by her father to be a self reliant woman that can do everything from hunt to protect herself from the big bad world. Of course the “big bad” in this film is a part of the plot twist that provides a big surprise for the viewer. Academy Award Winner Cate Blanchett plays Hanna’s nemesis, a ruthless CIA operative with an agenda of her own.
The film opens in the wilderness of Finland with Hanna trekking through the snow. As the film progresses we are made witness to the overwhelming nature of technology on someone who has never been exposed to our everyday society. Ronan plays this part wonderfully with a subtlety that makes this character come to life, you understand the choices Hanna makes and her motivations for them.
It is an excellent film that is well directed and written, with strong performances from the entire cast. I give this movie four out of five popcorns, but I have to warn you it is very violent.
