'Hanna': A Killer Grows Up In A Fairy Tale
Director Joe Wright is best known for high-brow period pieces like Pride and Prejudice and Atonement. His new film, Hanna, tells a very different story: that of a teenaged super-assassin raised by her father in the Finnish wilderness.

Hanna (Ronan) is a teenage girl. Uniquely, she has the strength, the stamina, and the smarts of a soldier; these come from being raised by her father (Bana), an ex-CIA man, in the wilds of Finland. Living a life unlike any other teenager, her upbringing and training have been one and the same, all geared to making her the perfect assassin. The turning point in her adolescence is a sharp one; sent into the world by her father on a mission, Hanna journeys stealthily across Europe while eluding agents dispatched after her by a ruthless intelligence operative with secrets of her own (Ms. Blanchett). As she nears her ultimate target, Hanna faces startling revelations about her existence and unexpected questions about her humanity.

Hollywood is coming out with similar or the same movies each time there is a new production. Hanna is like Salt mixed with Bourne Supremacy but with a young teen girl doing all the action. It keeps you interested to see the outcome but at the same time you know how it will end so it is predictable.
