Hanna


Released: 2011
Action, Drama
Director: Joe Wright
Starring: Eric Bana, Saoirse Ronan
Running Time: 111 minutes
Rated: PG-13

The breakdown: A teenage assassin trained by her father is being tracked down by the government for elimination.

I thought this might be a crappy movie, but watched it anyways.
It's definitely weird.  I mean, there's a lot of stuff that is kinda' strange visually and I think the filmmaker though they were being quirky or artsy, but it just came off as weird instead.
This 16 year old lives in the frozen wilderness with her father and one day pushes a button that releases the government hounds on her.  Yes, they do it on purpose knowing they are being hunted anyway.
She and her father agree to meet up somewhere in Germany and they separate.  She gets caught and he almost does.  She breaks loose and kills a lot of people all while trying to get back to her dad.
I suppose the base story was interesting, but some of the weird stuff really gets in the way of this being a better movie.

2 out of 5 for me.
I say, skip it.
