Comments: Hanna is an solid thriller with characters and a story that border on lunacy, yet everything works in a satisfying manner. Saoirse Ronan steals the show has Hanna, a girl with an advanced skill set that actually makes the audience believe she's kicking three dudes' asses at once. I found it odd that Joe Wright helmed the film, considering he's done mostly dramatic period pieces in the past (Atonement, Pride and Prejudice). Perhaps the aspect I liked the most was the score by The Chemical Brothers. It's a little different that your typical action/thriller score, and it really fits in well with the offbeat film. While Hanna wasn't exactly what I expected, I really enjoyed it. Recommended.

Oh, and this film should most certainly have been rated R. It looks like it was censored and chopped to bits to achieve the PG-13 rating.
