Hanna is a taut action thriller directed by Joe Wright whose previous films The Soloist (Robert Downey Jr/Jamie Foxx), Pride & Predjudice and the Oscar nominated Atonement (both with Keira Knightley) are all well regarded.

Saoirse Ronan, who had worked with Wright on Atonement, gives a focused and convincing performance as Hanna, with solid turns from Eric Bana and Cate Blanchett rounding out the billing.

Shot in Morocco, Finland and Germany the cinematography is simply gorgeous. Lensed by German born Alwin H. Kuchler (Sunshine, Code 46) his eye for the natural grittiness of a locale brings depth to every frame. One location I was very pleased to see was the Trudelturm Wind Tunnel facility in Berlin which doubled as Blanchetts base. It's a wholy unique locale and also featured in 2005's underrated Aeon Flux.

The music, scored by The Chemical Brothers, coupled with amazing sound design create an aural feast on which to nom nom nom.

Hanna is highly recommended. Totally Ninja!

The film was very predictable, but good.
Hanna is a badass with no eyebrowns.

The movie was good but left with too many loose ends. I wish they had some end to wrap it all up. The end was abrupt and explained nothing except that every character we knew in the story is dead except Hanna.

@scholarsarena curious what you thought of the series? they had so much more time to go into detail & character development! watching this movie afterwards was a bit of a let down for me - I really like the production value & casting of the series!

@udance4ever Didn't watch the series yet. Naturally the movie would feel crunched as compared to the series, but I think it paved the way for the series to be made :sweat_smile: The movie felt nice, and appropriately as per when it was launched. Today, I wouldn't probably rate it the same.<br /> [spoiler]As an example, I am not a fan of Star Wars. I don't think it has aged nicely. Though Star Trek still felt nice overall. No Trekkie vs Star Wars conflict, just an opinion[/spoiler]

@scholarsarena haha I feel ya bout Star Wars - for some reason Star Trek has never stuck (dunno why, I'm a big sci-fi fan (but am I really w/o Star Trek?! lol)) Def watch the first episode of Hanna - if you liked the movie, you'll prolly get hooked! I think you're absolutely right it paved the way to fill in all the details you never thought needed filling in :) look forward to hearing what you think if you decide to jump in!

@udance4ever Ooh, another sci-fi fan? Nice! I love sci-fi :grin: I'll give it a go, you've intrigued me enough. BTW, if you do like sci-fi, watch the Expanse, if you haven't yet. Loved the books and I loved the series.

@scholarsarena ooh! I'll have to continue watching! I'm on like episode 7 of The Expanse &amp; recall liking it! I'm guilty of the equivalent of reading 30+ works of fiction at the same time so I appreciate the nudge after the pilot of The Boys wants to hijack me :sweat_smile:

unusual but very good thriller with some coming-of-age story thrown in. Highly recommended.

This may sound weird but the movie itself is better than the story. What do I mean? The way the movie is made - the camera, the music and an amazing Saoirse - compensates for the not very original story. It´s not all out action, those scenes are the higlights throughout the movie. I like that a lot. All in all a very entertaining movie.

Very strong beginning but drags in the middle. Because of the setup though I always love coming back to this one.

I liked the beginning were they were in the woods hunting, training getting ready. Then when they left it started to get bad. As others pointed out there was no logic and no real agenda. The biggest fail however is the German clown and the stereotype skinheads, they are the worst characters trying to be special but failing fully. nothing really added together and what happened with the family in the RV? And Eric swimming !! did he like swim across were ?? the one surprise is that it was actually real actors in this production.

No this was a waste of time. saw it on Netflix so no harm done but still it could have been good.

not recommended

This was a mixed bag. Saoirse Ronan, Eric Bana and Cate Blanchette are all spectacular performers in their own right so it is justified to think this would be a movie worth watching. My issues with it were all the directorial choices: instead of allowing the story to speak for itself, Joe Wright seemed to leaned toward the bizarre and surreal: The Chemical Brothers soundtrack and the soundscape were jarring and an unfortunate cacophony, Tom Hollander's character and the neo-fascist thugs, the closing location and its fantastic bent (and even Cate Blancette's southern drawl) were all distractions from what could have been a straight forward, gripping thriller. I'm so glad the premise was picked up for an Amazon Prime TV series. The movie missed the mark. I give this film a 6 (fair) out of 10. [Action Adventure Thriller]

I find this movie a great one, the story is good, with a few twists and good performace from the actors, I think this movie is worth to watch even if sometimes the camera work it's kind of annoying but to little to damage the movie.
