Review of Hanna (2011) by Emmanuel T — 18 Jul 2012

Don't let this girl fool you! Because she's not what she appears to be. Hanna is skillfully trained to bring down her enemies, and hard! In the beginning of this film we see how she has lived with her father for a very long time in a cabin at a vacant area. Her father trains her to become a professional assassin so that she can kill her enemy Marissa Wiegler. Once she is trained and ready to leave her location, she sets off into the real world to stop at nothing then to kill her. On the way, she meets new friends, discovers new experiences, and develops a better understanding of her world.

The soundtrack seems to be one of the most powerful things in the movie. It's fun, catchy, sometimes loud, and edgy when it needs to be. The film also adds some electrifying action sequences that receives a lot of help with its dizzy camera tricks, to bright cinematography, and fun soundtrack. Unfortunately, the film tries to be original but honestly it's not. Perhaps they stole the idea from a main character in the film, "Kick A**" who was also trained by her father to haunt down an enemy. Even though this film is not based on a video game, it seems like it is. Why? Because of the style. The soundtrack can sometimes sound as if it's being played in a video game, and the camera acts as if it is doing the same style. So if you're looking for a film with a memorable story to it. Hanna is not the film to consider. But if you're looking for just plain out fun then Hanna is the movie for you.
