Saoirse Ronan Kills It!

Reviewed in the United States on June 2, 2018

Verified Purchase

Hanna is a truly blistering espionage thriller by director Joe Wright. Hanna is probably my favorite film from Wright to date. It is fast paced, exhilarating, and interesting. Wright has crafted a wholly original spy movie that oozes creativity. Every scene has cool shots and wonderfully executed panning shots. Impressive sequence after sequence line every scene of Hanna. You will be amazed and entertained by this movie for sure. Wright perfected the action film with Hanna.

Acting wise, Hanna has a delight cast of characters that emote their respective figures with surrealistic zeal. Saoirse Ronan makes for a deadly killer and a sweet heroine. She is fierce and believable as a spy, while also conveying Hanna's childish nature. Eric Bana is at his best as Hanna's tough, yet kind father. He is very cool as a spy. Cate Blanchett and Tom Hollander are two of the creepiest villains in film history. They will unsettle and threaten you. All in all, Hanna has a well cast ensemble.

Musically, Hanna is exciting and loud with a fresh electronic score from The Chemical Brothers. The bass will blast, the synths will reverberate, and the themes will soar into your ears. Hanna's soundtrack is quite memorable. I have not felt such thrills in a spy thriller since The Bourne Trilogy.

In short, Joe Wright's innovative direction focuses this neat narrative into a non-stop feature. The lovely Saoirse Ronan will captivate you throughout Hanna. You will root for her to triumph. Sit back and enjoy the music, action, acting, and direction. Hanna is divine!

I wasn't inspired but I was entertained

Reviewed in the United States on October 29, 2016

I had this movie in my watchlist for a long time. The idea intrigued me but I worried that a movie about a kid assassin would be completely devoid of morality and therefore depressing/skivvy, not entertaining. I finally watched it.

It was wonderfully entertaining. It was about getting rid of bad guys. The characters are well done and I really connected emotionally with the father and daughter. Saoirse Ronan was amazing in this (and has since gone off and done even more amazing things).

The pace is slow but stays interesting. Clearly, the well-honed assassin was going to do something great (not awful). The spectacular cinematography is compelling while the story slowly builds to the point. The camera angles, changes in perspective, and lighting jumped out as particularly artistic.

Once the story gets to the point, the fight scenes were well done and kept real (no silly Kung Fu) but I had come to expect that Hanna would be a little more decisive in her battles. For all that training and being the perfect assassin, the fights lasted too long. The SIGNIFICANTLY less capable bad guys shouldn’t have lasted more than a few seconds. I accepted the premise that she was a highly honed weapon and suspended belief. The director/writers didn’t for some reason and went too far trying to make it too real.

But getting passed that disappointment, the chase, interspersed with character development and fight scenes, is suspenseful and entertaining. It has flaws, some quite irritating, but I still liked it. I wasn't inspired but I was entertained.

Tight, stylish thriller with unlikely heroine

Reviewed in the United States on February 4, 2019

Verified Purchase

I re-watched this movie after watching the first episode of the 2019 Netflix version. It holds up well as a tight and stylish thriller, featuring Hanna as a teenager with a secret, brought up by her 'father' and trained to be a soldier in the woods (of Finland?). The pair then set out back into the world to seek seek revenge against the killer of Hanna's mother, an evil shadowy (CIA?) spook. Let's just put it this way, she is REALLY well-trained, and you do NOT want to mess with her.

Hooee

For once, the remake is better; much better.

Reviewed in the United States on November 2, 2019

The 2019 series beats the movie hands-down. Binge-watching the series, I went to review it, but then read all of the one-star reviews about how the movie was so much better. I thought I'd give it a fair shot. Even paid for this. It wasn't better. THIS is your one-star attraction.

You think this Hanna is a stronger lead? I found her to be even more timid and ridiculously out of touch for someone taught 4+ languages, world history, and other major subjects. The series Hanna bothered me with that as well, but the movie Hanna is far worse.

And what is with this cheesy 1980s suspsense music? I mean seriously what the hell. It was 2011, not 1981.
Saorise is a good actress, but I think Esma has by far the better presence. I see complaints about Esma seeming to be too timid, but the scenes in the series are direct, in your face, and at times brutal. Even the scene in the movie in the container yard, there was an opportunity for the Saorise Hanna to completely lay them out, and she doesn't. The final scene is so bland and devoid of emotion. You would think there would be some kind of character development, in spite of it's much shorter time in which to do it, but there is just nothing.

I thought for sure the movie would be more fast-paced, since Hanna Season 1 (2019) had 8 hours to do it. I was wrong. The Hanna movie is slow, drawn out, and boring as hell. This extra time gave for some pivotal development with Sophie as a friend, which allow Hanna to come out of her robotic shell and express actual feelings at times.

This movie isn't all it's cracked up to be. I think people over-glorified it, just because it was the original.

Thought this was a pretty good film

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on September 16, 2017

Thought this was a pretty good film, has audio description for visually impared people which is nice. The plot is nothing new really but is pretty enjoyable. Hanna is a pretty interesting character, and very well acted, Hanna's accent is just adorable :p along with her mannerisms and such, which leads to a few comical moments throughout and makes it a very enjoyable film.

Great Adventure pruchase

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on May 19, 2018

Verified Purchase

Great plot & entertainment - something different superbly acted by a great cast led by Saoirse Ronan.. The ending leaves the adventure sort of incomplete … but easily solved by watching the alternative offered on the DVD. Sort of rounds the whole Film off. Not sure why the Producers didn't make it part of the whole in the first inst. It would have scored much higher ratings.
