Hanna (2011)

5/10

Action packed but thin storyline.

Hanna is about A 16-year-old who was raised by her father to be the perfect assassin is dispatched on a mission across Europe, tracked by a ruthless intelligence agent and her operatives (imdb).

The acting is not bad, film is action filled, with a simple storyline, rough characters but not too much meat.


There is a ton of action and killing, however, I felt there's little character development. The characters, though they experience some emotional changes, remain very flat. The acting by no means is lessened by the flat characters, as the cast gives a very powerful performance.


The music tends to take a back seat amongst the chase scenes and fights. But if you pay close attention, the music is quite nice to listen to.




The entire film felt like it was leading up to a big finish, only it never comes. Hanna seems to revolve around an old grudge that is passed down. The necessity of having to take revenge the grudge wasn't clearly establish that I felt the entire hunt was overrated. All the actions in this film will definitely satisfy an action lover but the story lacks in material.




The cinematography, editing and directing doesn't jump out at me. Overall, an entertaining movie but wasn't memorable and not very captivating.
