While the first 18 minutes of the film is the weakest part of the whole film the rest is just way too great, entertaining, menacing, intense, and fun to watch so it's not really became a big of a deal, it's a different case if the rest of the film have lot's of problematic things, and i'm not saying that because of the rest of the film is great i forgive the first 18 minutes just like that, i'm not and i still take that as one of the cons of the film, it's more of like it got overshadowed by the whole greatness of the rest of the film, and also i'm not saying the first 18 minutes is bad, it just weak, alright now let's talk about the rest of the film, wow, Hanna is not like any action film you will ever watch or at least i've ever watch, and the biggest pros of the film is in the choreography and performances, Saoirse Ronan is a hell of a badass girl, she is incredible, she is amazing, Eric Bana is also doing great, and Cate Blanchett in one of her best performances, i also just wanna say that i need Cate Blanchett playing an antagonist role more rather than playing another protagonist especially when she's playing in a romance movie, because i think her romance role is mostly just not working for me, and in here she is just a perfect pure antagonist and it works perfectly and i love it, so do this film, i love it, it's great, it's amazing, it's incredible.

I'm appalled this got hate at all Hanna is so awesome! Before Saisore Ronan was super known she was in this badass action aficionado, well filmed and slick soundtrack. Almost feels like a Luc Besson action flick with different style. So much captivating fun throughout, it's such a pleasant surprise for the ones that would appreciate it because it's quite a treat to me! I disagree with the few flaws I think there're voided out by the last half.

This is a sleek, slick, entertaining film about a young woman (Saoirse Ronan), living in the snow-covered woods of Finland, who realizes, her father (Eric Bana, quite well I might add), an ex-CIA man (who has trained her to do combat, self defense and all kinds of killing), is not really her father at all, but a man who rescued her from the lab experiment that created her originally for this assassin lifestyle that the scientists meant for her. She makes a decision to go out into the world on her own, but she faces great danger revolving around a dangerous intelligence officer (Cate Blanchett). Everybody has a secret and that is what comes to light as the movie and the chase moves on.

This is a film with a nicely built structure, beautiful cinematography, breath-taking locations and a fantastic editing job highlight some of what makes this film quite good. The film opens and closes almost the same way and there is an interesting angle involving the fact that Hanna has never heard music in her life, but her "mother" was a singer. It brings an interesting contrast to the rest of the key elements in the film. The action scenes are stimulating. I only saw a couple of mistakes. It has a wonderful soundtrack and the film is put together real nice. Hanna is a 16 year old kid, who is brought into the world very grown up and it is interesting watching her naivete and her smarts collide together.

8.5 (B+ MyGrade) = 8 IMDB
