I think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.

Powerful

I enjoyed watching this film and would recommend other to give it a try , (as I am) but this movie, although enjoyable to watch due to the better than average acting fails to add anything new to its storyline that is all too familiar to these types of movies.

Actress is magnificent and exudes a hypnotic screen presence in this affecting drama.

When I first read the plot I wasn't really impressed but watched the movie anyways. And again, and again, and again....I must've watched this movie at least 15 times by now and I still love it. Good story, but even better acting (Good typecast!) and even better music (Chemical brothers). Is the story 100% realistic? Nope. But it's good enough to keep audience immersed for the duration of the film. Really intense movie, especially the container scene and the whistle. Love it.

I think google managed to create AI with more character than Hanna. It's like Hanna doesn't have a brain at all... she seems so shallow and from another planet. And of course, she's a 40 kg who can easily take down guys 3 times her size. Because in every action movie, the main character has to be someone with super duper kung fu skills.We barely get any story behind characters... no clever action sequences, nothing. and there WAS room for hanna to act all amazed at society, but no. It seems like she fits perfectly into a society that she has never even SEEN before in her life. No consistency, no explanation, nothing. Lame as hell. Ending is crap and unfinished. I bet the script for this movie was less than 3 pages.One good thing about this movie is that it makes other movies like the matrix, seem so much better in comparison. You now have a scale to compare a good movie with depth (matrix) with a shallow movie with no depth (hanna).

Basically, Jason Bourne, played by a 15-year-old or so Saoirse Ronan, but less convincing, logical, or entertaining (the pace was often way too slow).The fight scenes involving Hanna were especially unconvincing. The container fight scene at around the 1:14 mark was especially unconvincing and took me out of the movie. The three goons have her, then the teen actress that is Saoirse Ronan grabs and "tosses" the goon aside. It was obvious Ronan (try as she might) wasn't exerting much strength (and the actor playing the goon was doing most of the "self-tossing").(Reading up on the director Joe Wright, one sees that he specializes in drama pieces and has no experience with action movies. This, of course, could have been remedied by a capable crew, assistant directors, stunt team, etc. but evidently these were not available.)As many have noted here, there was too much left unexplained. Or more likely, there was no good or logical way to explain most of it. This *might* be OK in some sci-fi or magical realist film, but Hanna was (like the Bourne movies) depicted as set in the (mostly-)real world.One small example: At the aforementioned fight scene, Hanna has just easily defeated two of the three goons. The only one left is the quirky, whistling guy who's middle-aged, balding, slightly porky, and doesn't seem especially fit. He is running towards her at a comically slow pace and panting. Instead of just easily defeating him as she should be able to, she chooses to escape by jumping into the water.

Amazingly done with great acting and lots of brilliantly crafted action sequences. Not a boring moment. Saoirse Ronan is just so, so good. Don't mess with Hanna! Cate Blanchett fits into her role as a bad guy and Eric Bana is excellent. The critics have seriously underrated this movie. Joe Wright directs this movie in the same masterful way he did Atonement. Highly entertaining and original Grimm fairy tale which is beautifully structured.
