Raised by her father (Eric Bana) in the Finnish wilderness, teenage Hanna (Saoirse Ronan) has trained all her life to be the perfect assassin. Her father sends her on a mission, and she stealthily makes her way across Europe while evading agents sent after her by a ruthless operative named Marissa (Cate Blanchett), who once worked with Hanna's father. As she draws closer to her target, Hanna faces startling revelations about her existence and begins to question her humanity.

Critics Consensus

Fantastic acting and crisply choreographed action sequences propel this unique, cool take on the revenge thriller.

The plot is preposterous, but Joe Wright, the director, gives the movie enough audacious drive and style for the story to skim over the holes in the narrative logic.

Even though there are misogynistic undercurrents to the fatal gunshot wound Hanna delivers... Weigler will never die because she lives on in Hanna, and her story will be retold and revised just like the fables women and girls pass on to one another.

2.5/5

The thing with Joe Wright's beautifully shot movie is that it never really feels true.

4/5

The breakout performance by Saoirse Ronan is elevated to impressive heights with the help of scrappy action sequences and a pulsating score.

3/5

Hanna shows some promise, particularly in Ronan’s versatile performance, but between the overwrought style and underdeveloped script, there’s plenty for Wright to workshop...

3.5/4

There may not be as much grand meaning or deeply affecting substance when compared to his previous works, but Wright and company have created an exciting story, richly told with copious amounts of style.

The premise was something I wasnt interested in at all, but this was really well done, and Saoirse Ronan is predictably excellent.

This movies is terrific, top to bottom. Deserves a much higher rating than it has.

So, the trailer looked intense, perfect for husband and son. The violence was way overdone. The violence and blood coming from a young girl is not acceptable. And the ending was horrible. No purpose.

I have given this film approximately 24 hours between watching and passing judgment. My views have not really changed. Im afraid this film didn't cut it for me. Why? It is so unoriginal. A chase thriller that sees a teenage character, Hanna (Saoirse Ronan) on the run across Europe and North Africa from the clutches of the CIA. Why? I was wondering for a good 40 minutes before realising she held some secret that the CIA and in particular agent Marissa Wiegler (Cate Blanchett) wants to keep secret/eliminate. The film begins with Hanna being brought up in the woods by Erik Hella (Eric Bana) that evoked memories of Leave No Trace. Hanna is being taught almost encyclopedic in foreign languages, the virtues of music and self defence techniques. It appears that the pair are evading the clutches of the CIA but have a transponder that can alert the CIA to their precise location....why? What follows is a Chemical Brothers inspired soundtrack of chase sequences and high violent combat scenes tagged on with Hanna hitching a ride with some weird English campers? The action sequences are competent but completely confusing. That's what this film is. A tad confusing. I later learned there was a television series based on the story. Avoid.

The last line was way too predictable. Pretty good action. I don't know... I just wasn't blown away. It was well done, but I never became emotionally invested.
