Hanna: Movie Review

Hanna
Rarely do you get so much fine acting, action and suspense all packed into one jet-fueled, 70s-Euro-esq thrill ride as you do in Hanna.

These are the reviews I hate because I can see the craftsmanship that went into the film and I want to love it, but I don't. Technically all the pieces are...
