hanna

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0993842/

i read a review which compared hanna to the bourne identity. i think this is true in much the same way that my work commute is like the tour de france.

this film had a promising premise, but failed utterly to do anything with it. they made the kid a super-soldier, but then tried to treat that as if it were the same as being a super-agent. i am just being overly nitpicky here, but it bothers me because those two things are not interchangeable. it also bothers me that the super-agent father type who trained her apparently did not teach her how to have a normal conversation with another human being. even just himself! and while i am being nitpicky, let me just add that much of the violence was completely misplaced. it would have been better suited to a low-grade slasher instead of an action movie. not only was it jarring, but it also served to distract-via-anticipation for the whole rest of the movie.
