Hanna (2011) is the most peculiar of action films, if you would call it an “action film.” Sure, it’s advertised as an action-thriller, and yes there are a number of fight scenes and chases in it, but for some odd reason, I wouldn’t necessarily classify this as a straight action movie, and I don’t mean that in a good way. The director is Joe Wright, who previously made Atonement (2007) and The Soloist (2009). These are two films that don’t really bring to mind the action genre, and with this being his first foray in to it, his lack of experience shows. This is a film that had potential going for it, and the actors involved have respectable track records, but in the end the movie didn’t live up to what it could have been. We walk out of it with more questions than anything else, which can sometimes be a film’s strength given the context, but that’s not the case here.
