Hanna in white writing on a red canvas, sums up this film. Frenetic, action packed, sexually charged, and jam-packed with historically out of place references.
Hanna a very special young girl living in the Russian Tundra with her father has been reared from day one to destroy and kill Marissa (CIA Boss). Armed with a former CIA operative as a father and a suspiciously large Adam’s apple, she exhausts her day’s hunting, speaking 6 languages, and learning to kill the average adult male in a matter of seconds.

Her life is thrown into a complete meat spin, when her father informs her that she is ready to kill the infamous and evil Marissa sounding as suspiciously Mission Impossible – and I mean the 80’s one – looking alarm, the CIA learn of her and her father’s whereabouts. From here a projectile of action, repressed sexuality and all out ass-kicking scream across the screen framed by laughably stereotypical German hitmen, clad in knee high boots and armpit hugging acid blue jeans. And Cate Blanchett as the smoky red-headed femme fatale who can kill you with her pencil sharpener, but can’t wear any shoes except heels!

It’s action like it should be, without the unnecessary love bullshit and generally nonsensical plotlines which explain themes and ideas which really make no sense whatsoever.

Hanna will knock your sock off!
