Hanna
Rent & Buy
Raised by her father, an ex-CIA agent, in the wilds of Finland, Hanna's upbringing has been geared to making her the perfect assassin. Sent into the world by her father on a mission, Hanna journeys across Europe, eluding agents dispatched after her by a ruthless intelligence operative. As she nears her ultimate target, Hanna faces startling revelations about her existence.
What critics thought
A stylish, kinetic action thriller that split critics down the middle: admirers found it a propulsive, inventively crafted genre exercise, while detractors felt its promising setup burned out early, undermined by a lack of subtlety and stretches of outright tedium. Saoirse Ronan's central performance and the film's visual energy drew consistent praise even from those who found the whole less than the sum of its parts.
“an exuberantly crafted chase thriller that pulses with energy from its adrenaline-pumping first minutes to its muted bang of a finish”
Justin Chang·Variety
“Wright combines his two genres into a stylish exercise that perversely includes some sentiment and insight”
Roger Ebert·Chicago Sun-Times
“With its wicked-witch performance from Cate Blanchett, its derivative premise, its bland Europudding location work and some frankly outrageous boredom, this will test everyone's patience.”
Peter Bradshaw·The Guardian
“starts off like a house afire but soon burns itself out”
Kenneth Turan·Los Angeles Times
