Hanna

My first question is why? Why press that red button? Why not just reintegrate with society covertly? Well, because if Hanna didn’t press that red button, then we’d have no film. The reason, of course, is to exact someone else’s revenge (her father’s) on someone she’s never met (Marissa). I guess it’s the setup that I have issue with. It seems contrived. The rest of the film, the chase, is well choreographed, although a lot of running takes place instead of story. I guess I wanted more, deeper connections between the characters, particularly with Hanna as she slowly is introduced into the world again. It’s her journey of discovery, not the assassin in her, that I found most engaging.
