Hanna (Saoirse Ronan), the main character whose name is the sole title of this film, is a young girl who is raised by her father Erik Heller (Eric Bana) and is grown up in the middle of a forest deep in Finlandia. She is prepared to fight and to be a tough and strong fighter. There are some moments where Heller tests his daughter’s reflects by attacking her so randomly and suddenly, so that he knows how ready she is in receiving such challenge and attack. Heller also teaches Hanna to speak many languages, puts many informations to her, and gives her many books to read. But this preparation is not for nothing, except that Hanna does not know about it. This is for one mission related to Heller’s past and a female CIA agent named Marissa Wiegler (Cate Blanchett). The obvious mission is to kill that Wiegler woman. When she killed someone who is posed as Wiegler, she manages to escape the tightly guarded CIA underground place and takes some journey to wherever she can go and run. There, all the actions done by Hanna are so densely fill all over the scenes.
This action movie is somehow intriguing in its core of story: a young girl, not an adult and not even a grown up man, is prepared to kill a high class CIA agent who is already a pro. Looking at it from a far, we can see it as a “pressure” toward a teenage innocent girl who is supposed to feel her teenage life and fun, but instead she is “forced”, consciously or not, to do a job which is supposed to be done an older person, say her father himself. It is very much a wonder why the filmmaker set a young girl to do this.
