Hanna | Movie Review@josehany1189d

Today I had my day off and decided to watch this movie for the second time, since the first time I didn't pay much attention to it.

Hoy tuve mi dia libre y decidí ver esta película por segunda vez, ya que la primera vez no le presté mucha atención.

Source

The truth is that this film kept me entertained, and it begins by showing us the life of a man and a teenager who live alone in the forests of Germany.

The man is called Erik and the teenager Hanna, the protagonist of this story. Hanna is trained by her father in all aspects possible. This man is a former CIA agent and his motive was to turn Hanna into a soldier to kill, until she was ready for her biggest mission.

La verdad esta película me mantuvo entretenida, y empieza mostrándonos la vida de un hombre y una adolescente que viven solos en los bosques de Alemania.

El hombre se llama Erik y la adolescente Hanna, la protagonista de esta historia. Hanna es entrenada por su padre en todos los aspectos posibles. Este hombre es un ex agente de la CIA y su motivo era convertir a Hanna en un soldado para matar, hasta que estuviera lista para su misión más grande.

Hanna was raised in isolation so all she knows about the outside world is through books, however that didn't stop her from quickly learning about the outside world. Hanna was wishing for a normal life, and one day she tells her dad that she's ready to go out, her father talks to her and shows her a button that says she can press it when she's ready to go out into the world but this would imply that she already would not be under his support, also in the movie they do not mention the fact that she would be going out into the outside world to fulfill a mission, but the father lets us understand that the moment Hanna presses the button someone will come looking for her at kill her and it will be her or them.

Hanna fue criada en aislamiento por lo que todo lo que sabe del mundo exterior es a través de los libros, sin embargo eso no le impidió aprender rápidamente sobre el mundo exterior. Hanna estuvo anhelando una vida, y un día le dice a su papá que está lista para salir, su padre habla con ella y le muestra un botón que dice que ella lo puede presionar cuando esté lista para salir al mundo pero esto implicaría que ella ya no estaría bajo el apoyo de él, además en la película no mencionan el hecho de que ella estaría saliendo al mundo exterior para cumplir una misión, pero el padre nos deja entender que en el momento en que Hanna presiona el botón alguien vendrá a buscarla a matarla y será ella o ellos.

Hanna to satisfy her curiosity about the real world, after a few days she decides to press the button, she does it while her father was hunting, when her father returns and discovers what has happened it is the moment where the escape begins for him, for elsewhere Hanna is taken prisoner as her father is a former CIA agent who knows many secrets.

Hanna por saciar su curiosidad del mundo real, al cabo de pocos días decide presionar el botón, ella lo hace mientras su padre estaba de cacería, cuando su padre regresa y descubre lo que ha sucedido es el momento donde empieza la huida para él, por otro lado Hanna es tomada como prisionera ya que su padre es un Ex-agente de la CIA que conoce muchos secretos.

From the moment that Hanna is a prisoner, it is the moment where her mission begins, she must get rid of a woman, and said woman supposedly enters to interrogate her, Hanna pretends to be docile but everyone realizes that something strange is happening and they decide to intervene and entering the room, at the moment they open the door of the room, Hanna breaks the neck of the woman who was interrogating her who was a fake but Hanna did not know this, she also takes the opportunity to escape.

Desde el momento en que Hanna está prisionera, es el momento donde su misión empieza, ella debe deshacerse de una mujer, y dicha mujer supuestamente entra a interrogarla, Hanna pretende ser dócil pero todos se dan cuenta de que algo extraño sucede y deciden intervenir y entrar en la habitación, en el momento en que abren la puerta de la habitación, Hanna le quiebra el cuello a la mujer que la estaba interrogando quien era una farsante pero Hanna no sabía esto, también aprovecha para escaparse.

Source

Hanna at this point thinks that she had already fulfilled her mission but that she still had to be careful, and everything had really started, they even discovered unknowns about what and who she was.

Hanna en este punto piensa que ya había cumplido su misión pero que todavía debía tener cuidado, y realmente todo había comenzado, incluso descubrieron incógnitas sobre qué y quién era ella.

And up to here I am going to tell you, remember that this is a recommendation, there are no criticisms or my personal comments here, but I did like it. In fact, I recently found out that Amazon released a series based on this movie.

Y hasta aquí les voy a contar, recuerden que esto es una recomendación, aquí no hay críticas o mis comentarios personales, pero sí me gustó. De hecho me enteré recientemente que Amazon sacó una serie basada en esta película.

›Hanna (film): Decent, but with lots of loose ends and a very familiar story@gooddream2381d
This film is not new but it is new on Netflix (at least in my region.) It's an action film with some aspects of mystery and espionage. In many ways it is kind of a re-hash of Borne but with a girl as the lead. It's entertaining but has some crap elements to it as well.

source

The movie begins in a very cold environment with a young girl hunting on her own. it quickly becomes very clear that this girl is undergoing vigorous and unorthodox training at the hands of her father in an intentionally remote location because they are hiding from something. Her father Erik (Eric Bana) is clearly from the "outside world" because he knows multiple languages and is aware of modern technology and even has some of it. However, he has chosen to shelter Hanna from this for reason that are kinda explained as the movie carries on.

source

Once she is "ready" Erik has a beacon that will alert the CIA to their position and leaves it up to Hanna to decide when and if the beacon will be activated. Of course she activates it one day and the plan that Hanna and her father have prepared over the past decade swings into motion.

Pros of the film
- The action comes a pretty steady pace so you never get a chance to be bored
- The music is intertwined into the entire production in a very artistic fashion
- Hanna's (Saoirse Ronan) portrayal of a cutesy, yet secretly deadly teenage assassin is done wonderfully. She is Irish / American yet absolutely nails foreign accents
Cons
* The film is pretty predictable: Underdogs enter situation, get upper hand, lose upper hand, meetup with bosses and cut them down one-by-one. * There are some strange directorial decisions made to implement lighting to match the aforementioned musical direction that while it was visually appealing, doesn't make much sense such as when a CIA headquarters all of a sudden (and for no particular reason) has flashing, almost, disco type lighting. The director also decided to film some scenes with the camera flipping upside down in a circular motion, which doesn't really add anything to the scenes. * The baddies conveniently catch up with our heroes throughout and there is no explanation or reasoning behind why it is that they know where to look in the first place (this always irritates me in movies.) At one point a woman who normally works in an office and is wearing heels catches up with Hanna who has been training for years in cardio and it doesn't make even a little bit of sense. _{from the official [Movieclips](https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCi8e0iOVk1fEOogdfu4YgfA) channel}
The above clip shows some of the integration of the running soundtrack that keeps the tension high and works really well. Overall, I think this movie is worth seeing but I wouldn't run out there to dig it up. It's ok, but it almost feels like one of those lazy and unoriginal reboots of a previous film with new and female leads.

I don't know if they were planning on turning this into a franchise, it appears as though they might have had that in mind, but a lot of loose ends don't get tied and perhaps they are planning on a sequel. It pulled in more than $60 million worldwide on a $30 million budget. I don't know if this is a big enough profit for consideration as a trilogy. I guess we'll see.

My overall rating! 6.5 / 10

›Hanna - Movie Review@coldsteem2882d

Hanna is the first film I can remember starring Saoirse Ronan. It was a breakout film for the young actress, allowing her to carry a thriller film while still a teen. My wife and I first saw this film at the theater. It was a film worth watching in that format and remains a film worth streaming if you can find it.

We are introduced to our heroine, Hanna (Saoirse Ronan) in a Winter wood. She is hunting a reindeer, which she deftly disposes of, barely missing his heart with an arrow, but finishing the job with a pistol. While we are trying to determine the setting, we hear a male voice declare "you are dead" before a fight ensues. Hanna is in training. The voice is her father, Erik (Eric Bana). They live in a remote cabin, hunt their own food, and read the encyclopedia as part of Hanna's training. The mission is unknown. But it is clear that the agile sixteen-year-old possesses a deadly skill set.

Hanna understands that her training has an end game but doesn't fully understand where she is going. Her mother was murdered when she was a child and her memories seem confined to her cabin in the woods. As she begins to express her need to broaden her horizons and move forward, her father offers her the choice, which she takes. The decision sets the wheels in motion for a showdown with a secret agency. Hanna watches as her father departs into the woods, leaving her to await the arrival of the real world.

Hanna is whisked away to an underground laboratory, where she is questioned and filmed. She seems to possess a mission, but the end game remains elusive. Her ability to assess and reassess her situation allows her to exploit the opportunity to escape and discover that she is in Morocco. She must make her way to Berlin, where she has plans to meet her father. In the meantime, she is hunted. The agency she escaped from has a vindictive agent, Marissa (Cate Blanchett), who will not rest until Hanna is captured or killed. Hanna is running for her life, while the undercurrent of her story slowly surfaces.

Hanna has a graphic novel feel. It also feels like a sequel, so a subsequent film may have originally been in the cards. The screenplay was a product of writers Seth Lockhead and David Farr. The pair did a great job of creating intriguing characters and an interesting approach. We are dropped into the middle of the action, which maintains a steady heartbeat from beginning until end. The ending (down to the closing line) was somewhat predictable, but the journey was a fun trip. While the film didn't have incredible twists like most thrillers, it was a pulsing film that moves with dexterity. The dialogue was sharp and included sub-titles as several languages were spoken throughout the film. Kudos to Lockhead and Farr for creating an interesting new character and a thriller that has plenty of originality to offer. The screenplay was been around since at least 2006...so it took quite a few years to hit theaters.

The action and writing were carefully constructed alongside an industrial soundtrack that gave the movie and edgy feel. The soundtrack, by the Chemical Brothers, was brilliant. The film helped create a mood and tension that moved seamlessly with the progression of the film. The soundtrack never overtook the film but was notable enough on its own to grasp my attention. I was impressed with the warmth, cold and emotion that the music was able to add to the story. Nicely done.

Prior to my original viewing of this film, I knew nothing about Ronan. I did see her in City of Ember, which I know I enjoyed, but barely remember now. In checking out that review, I recall that I enjoyed her performance. She has arrived. I may have enjoyed City of Ember, but her performance in Hanna required much more skill. From fight sequences to an awkward innocence, the child/killer gained credibility through Ronan's performance. Bana was excellent as Erik, but we don't see much of him after the opening sequence. We see much more of Blanchett, who was fun to watch as a vengeful witch. I am not certain if it was intended, but it seemed to me that her accent changed from time to time in the film. Either way, the performances were excellent.

Hanna gets a PG-13 from the MPAA. The rating is a product of the violence. The film has some mild sexuality and strong language, which add to the rating. But the fight sequences and violence were enough to earn the rating alone. The sequences are tense and well choreographed. While there is plenty of killing, the gore factor is kept to a minimum, which likely kept this film from slipping into R territory. I don't think I would limit this film by age. It just isn't that objectionable. This film has a run time of one hour, 51 minutes.

Hanna was a treat. While this film was predictable, it had incredible pacing, great acting, strong dialogue, incredible fight sequences and an awesome soundtrack. It was also visually stunning. With all of the positive aspects going for it, the predictability factor is forgivable. It was an entertaining, action-packed film. Recommended with a 7.5/10.
