Went to the pictures on Sunday. Hanna got some fairly average reviews, but I enjoyed it. OK, it doesn't know what it wants to be - action or arty - contradiction in terms, I know, as the arty scenes are slow and hold the action back. But Saoirse Ronnan is good in it. She certainly holds her own in the presence of Cate Blanchett and Eric Bana.
Overall, it's a kind of a Bourne Identity type movie, except it's a young girl rather than a grown-up man, and there is an innocence about her that's a contrast to her killer instincts; and she knows what's happened to her, rather than trying to put the pieces together. It doesn't go at the pace of the Bourne movies, but it entertained me on a Sunday afternoon.
