Honestly I didn't know what to expect going into this film when I was granted a sneak peek tonight. Can anyone tell me if this film is based on a graphic novel of some sort because this is the feel that I felt it had the whole duration. I'm sure after viewing this film, many people will draw a very easy comparison between Hanna and La Femme Nikita (which in my opinion is a much better film as a whole).
If you go to see this thinking that it is full of action, you will be disappointed. While there is enough action to keep you interested, most of the film is based solely on character development in relation to the title character with little regard for developing the back stories of any of (what should seem important), supporting characters. I'm not suggesting that in-depth character development is bad, in fact I feel quite contrary , however when the the entire fate of a film rests in the hands of a singular character, I find these films usually fail and unfortunately I would suggest Hanna shares that fate.
On a positive note, when the supporting cast of Banna and Blanchett are allowed to shine they do so nicely enough. Also kudos to the cinematographic team for some nice scenery shots.
