It's sort-of a fairy tale, about a young girl who grows up in a little house in the forest with her father until she's old enough to head out into the big wide world. And though she looks sweet and innocent, Hanna has the ability to switch into a ruthlessly effective, highly-trained killing machine at any moment. So, based on a true story.
It has a great cast, with Irish Saoirse Ronan playing the lead and Aussies Eric Bana and Cate Blanchett playing the father and wicked CIA witch (as a Texan). It's always refreshing when movie baddies don't speak with British accents. The whole thing was superb, and highly recommended, although the disquieting effect was increased by Hanna looking exactly like a grown-up Maya Singer. I always thought Sofia was the deadly one.
Don't argue.
