SERIOUSLY. This is what the crap Hollywood still puts out?

I gave this film a 9 out of 10, because it was exactly what I expected it to be.

A film of deceptively outspoken contemporary relevance, this is cinema at its most alert, alarming and alive.

When I first read the plot I wasn't really impressed but watched the movie anyways. And again, and again, and again....I must've watched this movie at least 15 times by now and I still love it. Good story, but even better acting (Good typecast!) and even better music (Chemical brothers).
Is the story 100% realistic? Nope. But it's good enough to keep audience immersed for the duration of the film. Really intense movie, especially the container scene and the whistle.
Love it.

Basically, Jason Bourne, played by a 15-year-old or so Saoirse Ronan, but less convincing, logical, or entertaining (the pace was often way too slow).The fight scenes involving Hanna were especially unconvincing. The container fight scene at around the 1:14 mark was especially unconvincing and took me out of the movie. The three goons have her, then the teen actress that is Saoirse Ronan grabs and "tosses" the goon aside. It was obvious Ronan (try as she might) wasn't exerting much strength (and the actor playing the goon was doing most of the "self-tossing").(Reading up on the director Joe Wright, one sees that he specializes in drama pieces and has no experience with action movies. This, of course, could have been remedied by a capable crew, assistant directors, stunt team, etc. but evidently these were not available.)As many have noted here, there was too much left unexplained. Or more likely, there was no good or logical way to explain most of it. This *might* be OK in some sci-fi or magical realist film, but Hanna was (like the Bourne movies) depicted as set in the (mostly-)real world.One small example: At the aforementioned fight scene, Hanna has just easily defeated two of the three goons. The only one left is the quirky, whistling guy who's middle-aged, balding, slightly porky, and doesn't seem especially fit. He is running towards her at a comically slow pace and panting. Instead of just easily defeating him as she should be able to, she chooses to escape by jumping into the water.

Well I was hoping for a great film, seeing as Atonement was from the same director, but the only thing I liked was the art house style cinematography and sound track. There were a great many plot holes and some inconsistency between takes. If this had been the only film I'd seen by the writer and director, I'd probably not watch any of their other films.

Hanna is a modern day fairy tale, The Brothers Grimm meets Jason Bourne with plenty of lapses in logic.Saoirse Ronan is Hanna a teenage girl raised in the wilderness of Finland by her father, an ex-CIA operative Erik Heller (Eric Bana) who since her mother died raised her with the skills of an assassin. Erik realises that Hanna is at an age when she might be ready to see the outside world and the chaos this would bring.Cate Blanchett is a senior CIA agent Marissa Wiegler who wants to track down and kill them both. It seems Hanna was genetically modified in a secret CIA experiment many years earlier giving her exceptional abilities.Erik activated a beacon and leaves, instructing Hanna to meet him in Berlin. A CIA special forces team arrives to capture Hanna who is taken to an underground complex and escapes where Hanna seems to be very adept in surviving in the modern world such as using the internet when before she lived in a remote survivalist environment.Blanchett plays the wicked witch but we have little idea of her motives as to why she even kills innocent people. Once the action stops it becomes a rather derivative euro-plodding thriller. The Chemical Brothers soundtrack just reminds you that it wants to be a junior Jason Bourne.
