Wicked Witch of the US

Hanna (2011)

Directed by Joe Wright this action thriller stars Saoirse Ronan, Eric Bana and Cate Blanchett. The daughter of a CIA agent seeks revenge on her mothers killer after a child hood living and training in an Arctic wilderness.

There is some great style to the execution of this film and the Finland based sections in particular look stunning. Less impressive is the plot which is fairly standard and seems to lack any moral compass as the protagonist and her father just kill anyone who gets in their way. In the end this is more an exercise in style and atmosphere than story telling but still a good watch.

4/5
