The revenge thriller “Hanna” – which plays as sort of like a cross between “The Professional” and “Run Lola Run,” with a pinch of “The Bourne Identity” — courses with an unflagging, forward-leaning vigor. It’s a smart, stylish, interesting and fun piece of pop entertainment, powered by strong performances and all wrapped up in an offbeat but engaging fairytale motif that gives the material a little extra zesty kick. Opening in the snowy wilds of Finland, the story centers on 16-year-old Hanna Heller (Saoirse Ronan), who has the intelligence, strength, stamina and lethal combat skill set of a soldier the opposite gender and twice her age, all thanks to her father Erik…

Title: Hanna Directed By: Joe Wright Starring: Saoirse Ronan, Cate Blanchett, Eric Bana, Olivia Williams, Tom Hollander, Jessica Barden, Jason Flemyng, Aldo Maland After Pride & Prejudice and Atonement, it was quite clear that director Joe Wright was capable of great things, however, nothing can prepare you for the greatness that is his latest feature film, Hanna.

Hanna is powered by all-around genuinely thoughtful filmmaking and…

I found a little something in my mailbox today, a black box. Well, actually it was a standard cardboard box in black wrapping, but I figured I’d paint the entire picture. Anyway, inside this cardboard box was a red card that reads, “Once you flip the switch, there’s no going back … Adapt or die.” Underneath is a date, “4.8.11.” April 8th, 2011 is the release date of the movie Hanna and, sure enough, the other item in the box was a silver contraption with the film’s title on it. This device has got three different on switches with a red button in the middle. It’s far too soon to…
