The previews for
Hanna made the movie look interesting, so I decided to see it even though I was still not that sure about the plot.
The plot is interesting, though rather simple. It is basically just that Hanna has been raised and trained to be a killer for some reason. That comes out later in the movie, though other things aren't fully resolved. There is a little mystery earlier in the movie, though that doesn't really add any suspense. Several scenes are extremely violent and there is something disturbing about a teenage girl being that skilled at killing people. Hanna can take care of herself in some situations, but she is horribly unprepared by other more every day things. She is an interesting character, but Hit-Girl from
Kick-Ass is better. Things start off interesting enough and more original, but it turns very predictable.
Miranda serves as the main villain and she is a good villain. There is something extremely creepy about her most of the time, from the obsessive way she brushes her teeth, to her determination to get Hanna and her father. She has a weird accent though that is a bit distracting. She, like the other characters, are flat and not that developed. The cast does fine with their parts, though none of the performances really stands out.
Hanna is entertaining, but it isn't a movie for everyone.
I did get a review posted on Epinions.
