Hanna

Hanna is a film about a girl raised by her father to be an assassin. The concept for the movie was original, but based in an idea used before (not going into detail on this, want to avoid spoilers). I thought it was done well and didn't copy from other films. The movie had a healthy balance of plot and action. It wasn't your Michael Bay guns and explosions, but it still had plenty of engaging fight sequences. I enjoyed the style in which the fight scenes were filmed. It almost seemed like it was from a comic book, alternating between real time and brief slow motion shots. It was quite bullet time, the slow motion was only noticeable by the overall effect it created (these were not slow mo replays).
