Whilst at Daisy's house the other day we watched Hanna. When this came out, in 2011, I really wanted to see it but unfortunately didn't manage to get to the cinema in time. I was so happy to find out that Daisy had it, it meant I could finally see Hanna!!
It is about ...
'A sixteen-year-old girl who was raised by her father to be the perfect assassin is dispatched on a mission across Europe, tracked by a ruthless intelligence agent and her operatives.'
It is a great action packed film, it stars Saoirse Ronan (The Lovely Bones, Atonement, The Host) as Hanna, Eric Bana as her 'father' Erik Heller, and Cate Blanchett as Marissa, the agent after Hanna. Almost the whole of the film is one giant chase scene with great pace, each event leading to even more trouble.
On the way Hanna makes friends and experiences humanity in a way that she never has before, she is bought up by Heller in a remote location in Finland. I found the scene in which she first experiences electricity particularly amazing and well filmed, Saoirse's acting in this scene was superb.
It was a visually stunning film, with Hanna travelling far on her journey to complete her mission. The whole film was gripping and I really enjoyed it despite having read some really bad reviews, I think the people who wrote those reviews must have been watching a different film!
Daisy absolutely loved the film, this was her second time watching it within one week! She is developing a new crush on Saoirse as she is actually Irish. Daisy particularly liked the part when Hanna tried to kill/injure the boy who tried to kiss her and in general her whole manner. She also loved Sophia who was played by Jessica Barden because of her ditsyness and she also reminded her how idiotic teenagers actually are. However Daisy thought that it should have ended the scene before Marissa fell down that slope thing with a zoomed out shot of both Hanna and Marissa lying on that railway, although she did find it clever how the begining and the ending were linked.
This is definitely a bit of a marmite film, you will either love it or hate it, I personally love it and will be buying it very soon. Especially as it is only £2.95 from Amazon!
