Critics Consensus

Fantastic acting and crisply choreographed action sequences propel this unique, cool take on the revenge thriller.

Wendy Ide

The Times (UK)

The plot is preposterous, but Joe Wright, the director, gives the movie enough audacious drive and style for the story to skim over the holes in the narrative logic.

Even though there are misogynistic undercurrents to the fatal gunshot wound Hanna delivers... Weigler will never die because she lives on in Hanna, and her story will be retold and revised just like the fables women and girls pass on to one another.

The thing with Joe Wright's beautifully shot movie is that it never really feels true.

Rated: 2.5/5

Patrick Cavanaugh

The Wolfman Cometh

The breakout performance by Saoirse Ronan is elevated to impressive heights with the help of scrappy action sequences and a pulsating score.

Rated: 4/5

Den of Geek

Hanna shows some promise, particularly in Ronan’s versatile performance, but between the overwrought style and underdeveloped script, there’s plenty for Wright to workshop...

Rated: 3/5

Deep Focus Review

There may not be as much grand meaning or deeply affecting substance when compared to his previous works, but Wright and company have created an exciting story, richly told with copious amounts of style.

Rated: 3.5/4

Despite a handful of arresting moments, Hanna ultimately fails to find the anarchic-hearty balance it so earnestly strives for, collapsing into a thoroughly directionless collection of scattered fight scenes, thin characters, and frantically uneven pacing.

The story is ludicrous and not overly suspenseful. On the other hand it's very well cast and somehow different: some long, pensive scenes and more quiet dialog than you normally find in action films. I'm not sure what to make of this one.

A stylish and unconventional action thriller with a strong lead, though its uneven storytelling keeps it from reaching its full potential.
