The turning point in her adolescence is a sharp one. Sent into the world by her father on a mission Hanna journeys stealthily across Europe eluding agents dispatched after her by a ruthless intelligence operative with secrets of her own (Academy Award winner Cate Blanchett).

What to Expect : Even though the movie has been marketed as a cool Bourne-type of thriller, it's actually more of a twisted coming-of-age story. The action is just a component in this story. Director Joe Wright ("Atonement", "The Soloist") crafted someting that's more art than popcorn, so, in case you're thinking this is some cool and violent action extravaganza, trim your expectations.
