A special thanks to the guys over at movies.ie for sneaking us into an advanced preview screening.
If ever there was an odd choice for an early summer release, I think Hanna is it. Directed by Joe Wright (the guy who brought you Atonement) and starring an Oscar bait cast including Saoirse Ronan, Eric Bana and Cate Blanchett (with solid support from Jason Flemyng and Olivia Williams), Hanna is the story of a teenage assassin set loose upon the world after a life spent in the wilderness. If that cocktail doesn’t sound crazy enough, Wright sets the movie as a fairy tale.
What’s genuinely astounding is how frequently these elements compliment each other, even if there are a few moments where they seem at odds.
Joe Wright takes a shot at directing an action film...
