I was very much looking forward to this movie when I first saw the advance stories. The trailers almost dampened that enthusiasm, but I'm glad I kept going.
Hanna is the story of a little girl and her father, living in the woods of Germany. Though her life is hard, she and her father seem to have a wonderful life together. Soon, this comes to an end, however. She declares herself ready to go and take their vengeance on the woman responsible for the death of her mother.
This sets her out on a mission that covers tremendous expanses, and reveals more of who she is. In the end, the final question is not how to kill the villain, but rather... Just who IS Hanna?
This movie has a justified PG-13 rating, because of language and violence. There is also some insinuated sexuality, though there is no nudity or actual sex scenes. I did find the friend Hanna finds to be a bit over the top, with her talk of lesbianism. However, considering kids her age are now feeling pressured to make decisions such as these, perhaps it's not so over the top after all.
All in all, this movie is certainly time well spent.
