Hanna is more a character study thriller rather than the action-packed Bourne-esque flick it was advertised as in the misleading trailers. While not really original or groundbreaking it perfectly paces each plot reveal, is beautifully shot and entertains with out ever getting too heavy.
Unfortunately it falls apart at the very end and becomes a series of mesmerizing location shots stitched together with an unintentionally comedic chase scene.
Once you get past the boring climatic sequence and a few plot holes, I can highly recommend this film if it's a smart, well crafted thriller that you're looking for.

I thought the first ten minutes were really amazing, it was almost like she was in training to be San from Mononoke, but it took a dive once it changed location, and I found the music to be occasionally distracting. The actress playing Hanna was fantastic, though, which is the reason I stuck it out to the end.
