Hanna features Cate Blanchett as a CIA manager who has a secret. She was in charge of a super-secret program that became too dangerous. Blanchett shuts down the program and “cleans up” the mess. But, there is one loose thread: Blanchett’s best agent escaped with a baby from the experiment. For 15 years, the agent (Eric Bana) raises his daughter and trains her to survive. Now, at age 15, she’s ready. Saoirse Ronan ably plays the puzzled girl who everyone wants to capture. Plenty of chase scenes and fights all to the beat of a driving Chemical Brothers soundtrack. If you’re looking for an off-beat thriller, I highly recommend Hanna. GRADE: A-
I have a feeling the soundtrack would drive me from the room.
The Chemical Brothers are an acquired taste, Bob. But their music has been used in a Budweiser commercial which I’m adding to the HANNA review so you can get a sense of their music.
What happened to Jane?
Tomorrow, Patti.
She went with Tarzan.
This is another movie where the main character posses an incomparable killing skills. It is revealed that from birth Hanna was trained on all skills in killing people as well as surviving from an assault. Very fantastic movie and a good story on why Hanna posses such deadly skills.
Whole, I’m with you on HANNA. It was one of my favorite movies of the year.
