As the highly focused Hanna, Ronan - who had a breakout role in "Atonement" - is simply brilliant. Read full review

James Berardinelli

Although it would be an exaggeration to claim that Hanna "has it all," it is a richer and more compelling white-knuckler than the average roller coaster ride into tension and mystery. Read full review

Boxoffice Magazine Sara Maria Vizcarrondo

The beauty of the film and what ultimately makes it more timeless than trenchant, is the way it side-steps the entire issue of Hanna's sex. Read full review

Despite its handsome presentation and cinematic ingenuity, the film never really goes beyond superficial pleasures. Read full review

The film is never more than an amalgamation of other movies. Read full review

When Wright literalizes the fantastic, the movie turns squalid. He does better when he lets his visual fancies roam free. [25 April, 2011 p.88]

Contrived, pretentious and not worth seeing even for the perverse pleasure of watching first-rate talents make second-rate fools of themselves. Read full review

Fantastic film, all around.… Expand

A really good movie, with an awesome cast -specially Saoirse Ronan-, and a thrilling soundtrack. All these wonders have a name: HANNA. Definitely it's a must-see film.

A pretty average movie. Nothing to special but I was entertained by it. Many action scenes were cool with a compelling storyline were good. With a decent ending and acting. A good movie if your looking for a bit of action.

Good movie, it reminds of Tarantino for the character style and some of Hanna's dialogues. The three germans are amazingly out of context, for the joy of all B-movie fans.

The three germans are amazingly out of context, for the joy of all B-movie fans. Technically, the action sequences, with a lot to share with music videoclips, are beautifully realised, but after a while they become repetitive, setting the viewer far away from the plot. This spoils the final where most of the underlying story is revealed. It's a pity, because with more balance and a deeper trip into Hanna's mind, the movie would have been a really good one. Come back next time..… Expand

The worst film I have seen for some time. Basically kill bill +Bourne Identity. I never believed in Hanna. The constant shots of her perfect little face became so tiresome.
