Hanna

Viewer Rating:Kankan has rated Hanna rating: 5 Star

Saoirse Ronan well and truly proves she is a star in Hanna, far outshining everyone else in the film including Cate Blanchett.
Hanna and her father live in complete isolation from the rest of civilisation, with Hanna having never even heard music. She has been raised by him to be highly intelligent, and an expert in combat. We soon learn that Hanna was a 'designer baby' bred by the CIA; who now want her back. They initially capture her, but she easily escapes and aims to reunite with her father.
She teams up with an unlikely friend and her family, which results in some proper laugh out loud moments, mainly thanks to Sophie, Hanna's new friend.
Hanna had me glued to the screen the whole way though, which is a very rare achievement.
